A Day In The Life Of A Peanut Butter Cup

Listen Up!
MX Red project still in the works. I've finally started work on my next juggling video, no word on release. Jugglers On Juggling is going normally. I've just moved from Myspace (un-updated btw) to Facebook and it's much better. Nothing else to report. So on to this week's story.

Daily Life:
Well, now at Shoprite, since Easter has passed and the outside register is no longer there, They've been putting me up front near the entrance to get donations for ALS (a central nervous disease). We had this thing going where we'd have a number of baskets of things setup o the table, and whenever someone would make a donation, they'd put their name and number in one of the boxes for one of the baskets, and then there would be a drawing later. I sold a bunch over the 3 days I was out, but the best thing that kept me laughing for about 10 minutes afterwards was this.

Every time someone would walk by, I would say "Hello. A dollar for ALS and a chance to win?" or some variation of that. There was a group of kids about 17 years or so that had just got stuff from the vending machine right around the corner, and right as they passed, there was another person behind them that was looking like they were going to donate. SO I go "Hello!" and I didn't realize it was right as one of the kids was right in front of me and taking a sip, next thing I see is him spitting orange soda around not 1 foot directly in front of me. I could not stop laughing for like 10 minutes until the maintenance guy came and mopped up.

And thn on Sunday, it was a huge storm the day before, everyone got flooded, and I came into work the following day. There was absolutely nothing they had for me to do. They practically sent me home as soon as I came in, I left like a half-hour early. I know this section makes it sound like Shoprite doesn't like me, trust me, it's exactly the opposite. I don't like being on register as much as doing all the odd things that everyone else won't do. It works.

Juggle This:
JoJ ep2 went good. We actually didn't receive much bad responses from it, in fact, one guy said it's "his new favorite podcast, juggling or not!" Awesome. So expect things to only get better from here. If we've already got a positive opinion, and we still haven't worked out all the kinks, you know it's going to be good. That being said, I can now announce who is going to be in episode 3. None other than Joe Showers. So get ready for that.

In non-podcasting juggling news :P, I recently pulled off my first true 7531 under an 8' roof today. Also, in the past week, I've started getting the hand-balance double spin down. Nowhere near on command, but I'd say I've made it at least a dozen times now. I think that's going to be one of my big tricks when get it to be on command.
