Has juggling changed you?
Will
increasing the size of various parts of your brain and in turn
increasing the ability to do various other activities.
It started me thinking about other ways it has changed other parts of
my life, for instance there's the obvious physical changes, increased
reaction time and fitness levels associated with routine exercise.
Mentally, at an attitude perspective i am much more aware and
appreciative of other performace arts and shows and have been
introduced to a very focussed and generally sound group of people. I
have never met a nasty juggler. Anyway how has juggling affected other
aspects of your life? At a proffensial level i would expect many
differences.
lets keep the party moving...

I've met a couple of objectionable ones that I didn't like, but I don't
think any of them were outright *nasty*

I think Luke Burrage said something like this once, but I don't remember
quite well; the thing is that I almost *never* drop anything in the
kitchen anymore. For instance, when I want to make a sandwich and I have
the mayonese in my hand and for some reason it falls, it will never touch
the ground; juggling absolutely increases your reflexes.
One time (no kidding) I droped a knife, and without thinking about it, i
tried to make some sort of kick up catch with my right foot, luckily I
couldn't react that quick, and the knife touched the ground and not my
foot (I was bare feet).
Anyway, juggling has laso helped me with my reflexes, I'm a better soccer
goalie now :D

and you catch it before they have even realised they've droppepd
anything. I find myself looking at everything as a potential prop. Kick
ups with knives :D thats funny. Would be a great one to explain at
casualty!

i've seen people who've tried to kick up dropped bottles of beer before,
but no knives as yet. Actually, I dont think i've personally seen a
juggling related injury in A&E....hmmm

Hi,
Let's say, I'll think about it. And post my changes, if any, later.
My friends - if any *Grin* - or family or neigbours did not report
any changes.
I feel bad about not attending a festival last weekend. Due to
a bad sleep I did not want to leave my house that day.
I mention this to illustrate the fact that I know very little
other jugglers. I learned juggling through the internet.
The only change I can think of right now is my way of cooking.
I like to make pasta al dente and then mix it with a lot of stuff.
I like handling the pepper, salt, cheese, soy sauce very quick.
And sometimes when I feel akward while waiting for something amidst a
group
of people I do some juggling. So I do no have to do the small talk.
Greetz,
:-)

fullfillment. It is one activtivity that I can count on to challenge
me, engage me, allow me to lose myself or find myself in. (There are
other activities for me like photography, running, and teaching.)
I'm experiencing more joy in life than I've ever imagined possible
becuase of juggling and I am sharing that joy with others. I can look
at anyone and say "I love juggling" and they'll see a sparkle in my eye
that comes from doing what I love. From living life congruent with who
I am.
Metaphorically, I am the prodigal son. Juggling is one of the riches
bestowed upon me for my return to life.
Long live juggling.

Once I was working on a model airplane when my X-acto knive rolled off
of the edge of the table. I guess I didn't realize what fell because I
instinctively brought my legs together to catch whatever it was (I was
sitting down). I caught it all right. I opened my legs back up and
the X-acto knife was sticking straight out of my leg. #11 blade all
the way in - up to the handle. It actually didn't hurt much as the
blade was sharp. I just sat there looking at it for a second and then
pulled it out. Duh!

Wow! People do that to you, and you *react* ?
*speachless*
The best way to persuade people not to do that is to ignore them, put
your balls away, sit down and do something else for a bit. "Monkey in
the middle" (or "piggy in the middle" for the Brits) is only fun for
those playing if there's someone in the middle getting wound up by it.
