And so a new era begins…..
I got the job at Bumble and Bumble … hallelujah! I found out on Tuesday at my interview with Connie.
Connie has been with BB for 24 years, thats a helluva long time. So long in fact that when she started she was a man and at some point went through the process of becoming a woman interesting, no. Shes a tough cookie in an interview I must say. She would throw out those hard interview questions, that could easily catch you off gaurd. I guess having interviewed people for years now they didnt seem all that out of the ordinary to me. Apparently, Ive had the job since before I left for Tulum, Connie said that by the time a meeting is set up with her I had already been hired. I “knew” that but didnt want to bank on it, ya know.
I also found out that bumble has a 1 person rule which means they only have one of any given name at the salon, and they already have a Jody. So Im going to go by Theo, which is my dads name, I like the way it sounds. It has a certain, I dunno, Americana sound to it. Its better than the usual Ricardo, and Gino type of names I guess I could go all out and do a name like Jackson, or something totally ridiculous. I might just stick with Theo, we’ll see.
Ive been pretty good on the practice front this week I only missed yesterday and that was because I was to sore. Practice is getting better. I have my good days and my bad days. I did something on Sunday which hurt my ankle but it seemed to clear up. Practice seems to release alot of anger lately, I find myself so annoyed during it. It doesn’t help that some of the folks at YS d some weird things. There are a couple of girls that do this syncronized yoga thing, which is childish in and of itself, but to make it even worse, today they came at the most crowded time which meant in order to get spaces next to each other they had to disturb 3 or 4 peoples practice. What gets me is they are both advanced, they are doing 3rd series. My understanding is that the further along you get in the practice the more peaceful and introspective it becomes but I guess not for these two. I dont mean to sound harsh but it seems as though its a way to get attention. Who knows maybe they are practicing for some event where they have to be syncronized. The larger truth for me is that I need to just ignore it and pay more attention to my drishti. Anywho thats enough energy on that.
Mark has a gallery opening tonight which is gonna be pretty cool, Im sure there will be a ton of people there and I hope that he sells some stuff! HE has another opening this saturday on Shelter Island so we are off this weekend to go to that.

The synchronized thing is for maintaining proper vinyasa – it keeps you from taking too many breaths in any one pose.
Greg encourages it since he used to do the same thing with Christopher when they used to practice together.
Anyway glad you’re back at YS. You have a very nice practice
Oh congratulations on Bumble!!!
