Some people find sanctuary in church, others find it at temple, some find it looking over a moonlit lake late on a summer night. They are safe places, locations where thoughts and emotions can be deduced and experienced with exacting clarity. In the hustle, bustle and unpredictability of the life I lead I find myself with three unconventional ( Read more... )

Where on earth have I been?

The answer: A lot of places. I first and foremost need to formally apologize for having been so lackluster in my updating. After Singapore late last year, I just needed a little bit of time at home to relax. Time at home quickly became time working, and I always had a nagging feeling in the back of my mind to get back to ( Read more... )

I'm back on the North American continent now, having come back to Canada from Europe and subsequently driven down to the United States. It was a very, very long three days.

The work towards a cohesive circus show plods onward. Trampoline wall is coming slowly but at least the skills are getting there. I honestly feel that the show itself is going to ( Read more... )

After a lengthy week of training trampoline wall in Michigan, I have crossed the pond and landed in Essen, Germany ( Read more... )

My muscles cry havoc but fall silent as I ease them into the bubbling pool of hot water. I find the ledge meant for sitting and a jet or two, and position myself in such a way so that the spouts pulse hot water vigorously into my lower back. My eyes roll, and the back of my head leans against the tiled rim of the hot tub. Children yell and play in ( Read more... )

Today was one of those days where you wake up too late, have too much to do and end up feeling rushed through your day. You blink, and all of a sudden it's eleven thirty at night. Be forewarned, I apologize if this entry is neither coherent or interesting and I know I usually post about stories, experiences, or things of that ilk but today is going ( Read more... )

Well everyone, sadly my spotlight time has come to a close and it would seem there (obviously) aren't as many new readers as before. If you like this blog, please, by all means tell your friends if you think they would enjoy it, I would love for the word to keep going out. As for today, it's been the first very cold day of fall and my long coat has ( Read more... )

It's obvious that the blog has been getting a lot of attention in the last week, so this morning I went to my good old buddy Steve and asked him what my next posts should weigh in on and with his help I came to realize that I'll be leaving for another tour soon. (and I'm sure the blog will be a flurry of activity during tour time, even more so than ( Read more... )

Before I launch into today's entry, let me be first to tell you all that there is nothing like waking up late, a press full of freshly ground coffee, a cat on your lap, good music and the promise of a good day ahead. Anyways, onwards ( Read more... )

Shortly after Nikki and I became close, I wrote a letter for her after she visited me in my city for the first time. The letter was meant to show her, in my own curious, unorthodox way how much I missed her and how empty life seemed when she wasn't near me. I don't know why, but I never sent it, and only today did I recall its existence. She'll ( Read more... )
