Seldom do I praise people...most of them are simply unworthy of it in my eyes...Thomas is one of the exceptions. Through all of the years that I've known Thomas, he's demonstrated a consistent level of character that is rarely seen these days. When I first met him, he wasn't in the lofty position that he is now where fame, fortune & friends are concerned: I recall that he was a jack-of-all trades, doing any job that he could in order to survive; lesser men than he would have used his position as an excuse to steal from friends and employers in order to make his life a little easier...instead, he worked hard to develop his skills (first as a juggler, later as a fireeater) to the point that he could support himself as a performer. I recall the times where each of us had some serious issues in our lives, and how we took the time to help out the other, even when doing so was difficult or less than convenient..many of our other "friends" couldn't be bothered, as it would have disrupted the neat little packages that they call their lives. Thomas is the kind of person who truly cares about those whom he loves, and does not trade a cursory, shallow advantage for his self respect or the trust and respect of his friends. He takes pains to try to make the lives of those around him happier and fuller: he heals, he counsels, and he teaches martial arts to those around him as not only a way to defend themselves, but also to help improve their health and their hearts. Thomas didn't grow into a primadonna after he gained success, rather, he did the unusual thing of trying to help others up around him, not as a matter of guilty or pity as is the style these days, but in a true sense of duty to those in whom he is emotionally invested in. Yes, there are few men who can gain my respect by making a living playing with their balls, but Thomas is one of those men. Thomas is intelligent, Thomas is talented, Thomas is deadly. But to me, the most important thing about Thomas is that he is a man of honor and integrity, which makes me proud to call him one of my best friends.

Thomas is the best man I know and I love him unconditionally! He's intelligent, insightful, charismatic, straightforward, hilarious, honorable, kind, caring, the sexiest man alive, beautiful inside and out and talented at everything he sets his mind to. He makes me the happiest I've ever been and I'm thankful every day that he loves me in return!

Believe me, you want to know this man.

This guy is quite skillful with his hands.
Be warned, once you've had a massage from him you'll only crave more.

Thomas, I love you and I miss you and hopefully this summer I'm moving to Phoenix, so maybe I could see you once in a while! Anyway, always remember: JR&ETBJ!

All my love,

Thomas has been one of my dearest friends since I was 15, holy shit that means I have known this nut officially for half of my life now!! I have watched this guy perfect his skills at manipulating his balls, I was there when he decided he was going to learn to play with/eat fire, and because of him and an incident experimenting with martial arts technique that ended with me in a hole in a wall (funny story) I believe completely in the flow chi! Thomas will always be a constant in my life even though we do not get to see each other nearly as often as we would like. He will always be someone I hold dear and value as one of my truest friends!

about me
I have far too many hobbies for any one man. I'm a pro-juggler/fire-eater, photographer, sculptor, martial artist, healer; some would say history geek, athlete, and guy that makes his living on his charisma.

I have a high chaos factor and a strange past and present. Odd things just seem to happen to and around me. At least that is what I keep being told. I used to think my life was pretty normal, until a bunch of people pointed out that my life very much is not normal. I get told "You should write a book." a lot. I am very open to meeting new people. Actually, I kind of collect good people, thus my very cool group of friends.

I am also told I have a good set of hands for intuitive massage, as well as technical. On occasion I get lucky and do some real healing. I'm not what you would picture as a stereo-type athlete but....

Athletic history:
Nevada State champ X-country runner,
Nevada State champ 2 mile distance,
American Freestyle Shinai Champion 3 years then retired my sword,
Multiple decade martial artist,
I'm also a semi pro artist. Then there is the wierd aging thing. I seem to age slower than most people. People usually peg me in my mid 20s or so.

If you want to IM me, I am on Yahoo as Pyrojuggler, and the same thing with MSN as Pyrojuggler@hotmail.com.
Also if you are going to add me as a friend, please make it clear where I know you from, or if I know you, or if you are a juggling fan. I just like to know who I'm talking to, even if I don't know you.

I love to compete. I love to love. I love to create art. I love to make people laugh. I love to heal people, it is against my morals to not help someone if I can do it without hurting me, and if they ask, and I love women.
I have a queen that has my heart.
I realy like it when someone has something to say that is from a point of view that I didn't think about.
There is a lot more about me, but I prefer you either ask, or travel with me.

My Blog

So here I sit on the edge of something in my head that I can't describe, but I'm going to try anyway.

Once in a while the vale of self doubt and the frantic running that goes on in most peoples heads just lifts and goes away for a magical moment or two.

So much of our lives and self perception is based on this struggle that we ourselves make up in our own minds. I wish I didn't have so much baggage hanging around in my head and heart, but at the same time part of my experience is what ... read more

So it would appear that I’m back to being a touring artist. It’s been a few years since I have been on this long and sometimes lonely road.
This time as it stands I have booked every weekend from the end of Feb. all the way through mid June, and I’m working on more.
Now when I last left this it was certainly not by choice. Several things happened all at the same time. I was hit by a drunk driver, which hurt me pretty bad. I had the 2 main yearly fairs that I do both didn’t hire me bac... read more

I have enough

I had an interesting conversation with my martial arts teacher today.

We both made and talked about observations of the world and religions, and philosophy. Some of what we talked about was as follows:



So many of the people on this planet, the US in particular are worried about material wealth, and no matter how much we achieve in our society there is a want for more.

We in the US have it better materialistically than pretty much any humans in history. ... read more
