Juggling Goals
Ok, the last post sounded like new year's resolutions, so I'll add some of the things I'd like to do with juggling in 2006 and beyond:
- Perform enough that I can support myself. That's the main goal for the future.
- It's always been a dream to perform on a cruise ship. There are some that go around the Mediterranean via Israel and I'm going to see what I can do to get booked.
- Compete in the IJA Competitions. I wrote an outline of a routine in August of 1997 (the first day of the 50th IJA convention in Pittsburgh) and have developed it on paper a little bit. Now I just have to work on the tricks!
- Get 6 balls solid (over 1000 throws). I recently started working on it again and as of this week my best is 168 throws. It feels much more relaxed and possible than 7 balls.
- Get a new best with 7 balls. My average is certainly getting better but my personal best of 156 throws is nearly 2 years old.
- Get more 5 club tricks solid. Of course 5 club backcrosses and 3-up pirouettes are high on my list.
- Post some more original creative/technical videos on my website. I have a small list of trick ideas already.
Um. I hate making these kind of lists because I know that after I write it, I'll think of more things that I forgot to include.

Are you considering this year's IJA in Portland, Oregon?
Have you considered competing in the WJF?
I consider going to the IJA every year, but it's pretty far away and expensive. At least this year I won't have the excuse of taking vacation days from work... I would only go if I really thought my competition routine was good enough to medal.
I would consider attending the WJF but I'm not quite the caliber to compete in it. I love juggling but I don't take practicing that seriously. I'm flattered that you even suggested it, though.
Did you perfect your Shlomo Carlebach juggling routine yet ? ;-)
