I still think it is so fucking cool that you were in a circus, and that I now get to read stories about it.

Will Smith, in "Men In Black", put it best when he said, "'Cuz...damn."

That's all I got.

Besides this:

I'm wandering around checking out the blogs of other other copywriters like myself. I wanted to find out what copywriters write when they're not writing copy.

For the sake of introduction, here's my professional life in a nutshell: 20 years in copywriting; currently Senior Copywriter for MRM Worldwide (McCann-Erickson), Seattle. Private life: I write. I hike. I blog: www.deargregory.com.

Great story, and those photos are amazing! I can't believe your college had its own circus.

Matt - Thanks! And, hey, the hand is healed by now.

Jamie - What they do is a million times better than what I did! I drool every time I see them...

Very very cool!

I just seen cirque du soliel so I have tons of respect for circus performers. It's so scary watching, I couldn't imagine doing it!

That. Is. Awesome.

2008-08-08T09:33:00.000-04:00

a blog of her own - Yes! Thanks! You totally should have gone. There are actually two--one if Florida and one in Illinois. I say get your masters degree--now.

TKTC - Thank you so much! And welcome! :)

Colure - I need to find this video Dacia has of me doing perch my second year with Abel. You could see how FORCED my smile was at one point--it's actually hilarious. But anyway, it was always lovely coming home to you--bloody and all!

Lyla - Oh, thank you so much!

Nilsa - (I say it's a word!)It's really true. It was hard to do an act when you didn't completely trust the partner. You could tell when that happened, due to apprehension. But when you did, it was a piece of cake.

2008-08-08T09:18:00.000-04:00

Reading this blog reminds me how heavily acrobatists (is that a word? now it is!) rely on one another. It's almost like policemen partners. You've got to have each other's back, otherwise, no one survives. Really incredible.

2008-08-08T08:52:00.000-04:00

Reading this, I was seriously scared when you got to the part abotu the blood. You are so amazing with the descriptions, I held my breath the rest of the post!! You are unbelievable!

2008-08-08T07:37:00.000-04:00

You know, that was one of those things that always really impressed me about you during your circus performances - because since we lived together and I got to see all the aftermath (the bruises, the blisters, the blood, and so on) - the fact that you were always *smiling* throughout your performance just amazed me! :D You're so talented!! :D

Also, I absolutely HATED it when you did that trick where you spun by your neck up in the air. OMG it made me so scared every time...

wow...new here and so incredibly impressed. Seriou...

2008-08-07T23:35:00.000-04:00

wow...new here and so incredibly impressed. Seriously just shut my eyes and tried to put myself swinging a few decades in the air...WOW!

You are officially the coolest person ever.

2008-08-07T22:02:00.000-04:00
You are officially the coolest person ever.

Had I known there was a college with a circus, I would have gone. I guess I didn't do my research!
