So, in Jason's words, "fuck you guys!" 6th Jan 2007 Re: Jason kicks ass! your a jack ass 27th May 2009 Re: Jason kicks ass! Jason ... pedaso de puto ... anda a desirle a los pibes del semaforo de argentina mendigos ... no vengas nunca por que nunca seras bienvenido en mi país ... ni en Latinoamerica ... viva el arte callejero ... vivan los barrios ... 1st Feb 2009 Jason... No one will argue that Jason Garfield's an incredible juggler, he's well-practiced and passionate about what he does. However, Jason's attitude causes me to reconsider what it is that is admirable about being a juggling figure. I wouldn't want to be seen as an angry and over-competitive juggler who's needlessly critical of others' styles and abilities, and I hope most others wouldn't want to be seen that way either. So, despite Jason's superior technical ability as a juggler, I don't admire him. And I think he could be a much happier person, and do the juggling world a huge amount of good is he settled down a bit. There's a ton of potential for him to do greater things, but for the time being it's all walled up in bitterness. I wish him the best though, and still think he's amazing to watch. Ps. The president of my school's juggling club has met Jason, and he says he's actually a really nice guy. 9th Jul 2003 Sniff. I happen to like diabo... Sniff. I happen to like diabolo, devil sticks, and contact juggling. Mimes though... 30th Sep 2006 Re: Sniff. I happen to like diabo... Actually, good mimes are really cool. The operative adjective here is good. Bad mimes are bad. There are also many bad mimes. Don't judge all mimes by the bad ones you've seen. Similarly, don't judge all jugglers by the street hacks you've see. Go check out a video by Marcel Morceau; he is amazingly skilled. That being said, mime is fairly different from juggling. Both can be skilled performance arts, but that's where the similarity ends. I've never gotten into diablo or devil sticks. I tried devil sticks once and didn't like it. I never got the opportunity to try a diablo; I'm not sure I have a place to practice it either. I think Jason's comment was more that he doesn't do those props, rather than that he thinks badly of others who do them. The WJF does have competitions for these kinds of props, so he can't think too badly of them. So, don't fret the comment. Of course, all of Jason's comments should be taken will a large helping of salt anyway. 28th Oct 2008 Re: Sniff. I happen to like diabo... re: "I think Jason's comment was more that he doesn't do those props, rather than that he thinks badly of others who do them." Well your interpretation was less in keeping with his bad boy trademark. I think the comment at least was intended to imply that he thinks badly of those who do them. That's his schtick. 17th Mar 2008 Jason Garfield You Suck 14th Apr 2007 Have We Met? Hey Jason, I think we met on the m/s Westerdam in '97, I was a cruise staff member helping out with the "Benji Hill and Jason" juggling show. Was that Jason you? If so, it was so nice to see you're still around! Take care! Susan 19th Jan 2008 Re: Have We Met? o ya, hes still around and still telling everyone how they should think. 12th Jul 2005 a lot of you guys are just jea... a lot of you guys are just jealous 9th Dec 2007 Re: a lot of you guys are just jea... i am 12.i can juggle 3 clubs,3 rings,and 5 balls at the same time(just kidding!).but i can juggle 3 clubs,3 rings,and 5 balls.you,jason,are my role model.i want to grow up tobe as good as you.i also would like to star in the WJF.i wouldnt mind breaking your 11 ball,9? club records.i love youre videos posted on YouTube.the best one is the chris bliss diss video.oh,sorry,gotta go.my mom needs the laptop now.all the best,avi. 17th Oct 2006 Re: a lot of you guys are just jea... I know i am. I'd love to be bald AND an ass hole at 32! 12th Nov 2007 Re: a lot of you guys are just jea... ""I know i am. I'd love to be bald AND an ass hole at 32!"" jugglenut Shave your head and youre there. 10th Aug 2006 Re: a lot of you guys are just jea... Jason Garfield's good, but the attitude is annoying. He needs to be humbled. I look at his videos for inspiration, it's awesome. But really, think of how small humans are. Humans shouldn't even begin to think that they're even remotely good at anything. 30th Mar 2007 Re: a lot of you guys are just jea... I don't like him. He keeps removing my posts. I think he is a scam artist and a routine thief hack that doesn't do a single thing he yells that everyone else should do. A total moronic socially retarded and inept person whom I will admit, knows how to juggle (but moves his feet way too much to win a compeition unless it's his own WJF rigged money laundering system.) 13th Aug 2007 re: Jason Garfield "Jason Garfield is the best juggler I have ever known." 7th Oct 2006 Sure but... once saw the finals of an international magician's convention where the professionals in the audience voted on the magician of the year, with a performance by each of the nominees. The winner was a guy who did a three-ring linking rings act. This is probably one of the first pieces of magic apparatus every young magician starts with. Every performer in that room knew how it was done. And yet, the gentleman's performance style and presentation of the illusion was so engaging and so convincing that he was voted better than anyone else in the world at the art of magic. Strive to be like that magician, that comedian, that morning DJ when you give a webinar. Sure, get your technical skills worked out as a foundation (knowledge of the subject, supporting evidence, and so on). But learn how to make your presentation a collaborative undertaking with your audience instead of an emotionless demonstration of your brilliance. You'll be more effective and you won't have to grumble about how people don't appreciate you. 14th Jun 2007 Re: Sure but... I'm sorry, but after I saw the word "webinar" I completely disregarded your post. 6th Jun 2007 jays okay hes a good juggler and comedian but ive seen many better |
