For a while. Its getting old. I don't even talk to friends that much. I talk to DJ Sour milk more than I talk to some of my best friends...which is pretty sad. I only really use Myspace to network with other dancers and DJ's.
I want to find a dance family like them. Maybe even them?
GOD bless them all. God please protect them all in wherever they do and go. Keep them safe so they can inspire all of the dancers, well not just dancers, just inspire people all around them. Help them inspire the weak, self conscious, non-believers, and most importanently help them inspire the uninspired. AMEN
Yesterday- Leona Lewis ^ this song makes me wanna break down for some reason. && For some reason Gigi's piece doesn't help with holding back the tears. Congratz Essence. Keep it up.
HIP HOP. I dance Hip Hop. yes I do thank you very much. I started when I was little like 6 or 7. Then I stopped to get on the nerd train and do school and stuff. Then Liek in Highschool is when I started getting back into it. Like I remember going to TM studio after my whole dance hiatus, haha I was outta step I sucked. There is a video, but I rather not post it. The words BEGINNING HIP HOP haunt me til' this day. lol nahh I juss playing but that day was BADD&&HARDD!
So ha. I'm getting completely off topic right now. We will save my dance history for another blog.
But back to what I wanted to talk about. I first came to notice a group called Essence a while back. Gigi Torres founded them, and let me add for anyone who knows me KNOWS I know whassup with Gigi. I look up to her so much, her work is amazing. Dont't get me wrong I have met others who are just as amazing, but something about Miss. Torres just wants me to keep watching her over and over and over again. I look up to any woman who empowers women, and that she does mos'def.
BUT, this blog isn't about Gigi either, I am writing this blog on April Rodriguez. April, also known as Apes is also a member of Essence. I read about her and it was said she started school at UCI and took her 1st hip hop class at the age of 18, but she was dancing every since she was 7 doing hula and other dances. Shes really good, having history with Kaba Modern and other dance groups.
I had just finished reading Ape's blog yesterday. I was watching some of her vids, and decided to check out her blog on wordpress. Its really cool, her blogging about all her dances. She has been almost everywhere because of dance. I read this one entry that was talking about how her parents wanted to her to finish school but she believed GOD had put her where he wanted her to be. And she followed her dream. Its cool she followed her dreams and look where she is at now.
I am in the same boat, I would give anything to do the dreams that I want. BUT cuntless times I am reminded by my parents and others around me saying that 1st, with the economy dance as a profession isn't going to cut it and 2nd dance isnt something that is going to get you anywhere. BUT with my drive and passion for dance it WILL get me somewhere. I believe in myself and I have GOD on my side and with those two Catalysis I am bound to make a name for myself.
April lives her dream, travels, has a BF, and traveles with her Best Friends. She may not see her fam bam alot but her friends are liek family so that keeps her cool until she gets Home Home.
I dunno. I wanna dance soo bad. Get on a team, teach others maybe travel a bit. Thats why I feel Essence is so positive, teaching women they CAN dance and do anything through dance and passion as well as dedication and the will to be driven to succeed in anything they do.
I look up to the WOMEN of Essence, Hey you never know just like April maybe Gigi will pick me up and ask me to practice with them; maybe you will see me with Essence one day? :)
Juss wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas Eve, enjoy it. Cherish your time with the fam, it may be one of their last times with you. Hey you never know. Get under the fire , or just stand next to it. Sip chocolate, hey pop champagne if you like. I'm probably not going to be on the rest of the day but I wish all you the best for you and yours : ) l8. I'm out
So I came across this one guys blog, and I actually enjoyed reading his stuff. I read others blogs, and some of them are quite lame, not that I'm saying mine is top 10 material; but I have to say that mine is above average compared to those which are second class.
I don't usually advertise things, but if I find good things I like to share with others here's the link vv http://sooperejaycruz.wordpress.com/
IS HARD AS HECKK! I WANNA DESIGN ALREADY ! I WANNA MAKE FRIGG'N SHIRTS. LOL I WANNA BE A GRAPHIC DESIGN MAJOR !
BWAHHH, I WOULD KILL TO HAVE THE TALENT AND ARTISTIC ABILITY AS OTHERS. JOHNNY CUPCAKE'S IS AWESUM, AD I LOOK UP TO HIM SOO MUCH. STARTING FROM NOTHING 'ND WORKING HIS WAY TO GETTING HIS OWN STORE.
CHECK OUT HIS BLOG http://www.johnnycupcakes.com/blog/
yeahh so I'm on winter break 'til January 26th. I knoww frigg'n just too long. I dunno what to do for that long. I can hang out with friends and such, but you can only do that for so long before 1. you get bored and 2. you run out of money. But yeahh, Grades come out in a week or 2 and I have to admit, I'm on edge about them. I dunno how I did on finals. To be honest I kinda slacked in the end, and it didn't phase me until now. So hopefully I pass or it could get ugly for the next few weeks.
Basically, Break is gonna suck if I didn't pass my classes /= And theres nothing gonna be funnie about it
MY BLOG IS NOT GOING TO BE GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT. PUNCTUATION IS GOING TO BE OUT OF WACK. AND IT WON'T MAKE SENCE SOMETIMES. AND SOMETIMES I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL!
7L & Esoteric first came together in 1992 after 7L heard Esoteric DJing at a local college radio station in Boston, MA. Esoteric's sets were mostly hip-hop-based, but on occasion he would fuse his own material into his playlists. After hearing Eso's material, 7L contacted him in the hopes of forming an artistic collaboration. And collaborate they did. Reverting back to the standard hip-hop formula for success -- one DJ, one MC -- they immediately started to build on a common love for hip-hop born of 1986-1989. The pair headlined shows in smaller venues throughout Boston, New York, and Philadelphia as well as opening for some hip-hop heavyweights like Bahamadia, Rakim, Redman, and Company Flow.
mhm. I know their dope, btt i cant dl it anywhereee! bwahh
If I get one life to live I'm'a give it all I got If I get the chance I'm'a be who I am instead of who I'm not When I die I want to be able to look up and smile --think back on things I did instead of all the things I thought
What do you think of when you read this? Does it have any impact on you? or is it just words written on a typical blog? So how did I come across these lyric's you ask? or maybe your not asking, but its a blog, so I'm going to tell! ha My passion to look for GOOD music led me to this song. Atmosphere anyone heard of them? yes? no? maybe so?
yeahh I just heard some of their stuff yesterday, and in my opinion its pretty dope. I like their style & just the messages in their songs. Its pretty legit : )
Thsi year I am on the quest to find some DECENT music that actually has meaning to it. I want lyrics to talk about things instead of just saying I want you in bed let me see you in a thong. yahh know? ya dig me?
mhm. so you can check the song out on my music player if you want . mhm
8TEEN, college, danceee, basically juss life : )NOTHING SPECIAL. diff than most, bt more sane than others. Spending most of the dayy hanging loose, and acting weiird. I`m just me, living day to day [:
