Oh What? Bboys, Bgirls and Bkids?!

Note: Due to unknown wackness, the Jalen-Demon battle has been deleted. -_- Boo. Either way, the post must go on! I found another video of the kids dancing–not as great but you’ll get the gist of their style!


Big ups to Bboy Jalen and Lil Demon rockin’ the floor at Freestyle Session. These kids are amazing! Thanks to Joey for sending me the link to this video.

The Hip Hop Culture at its best. With teaching the youth how to serve others using uprocks, toprocks, power moves, and their own slick, smooth style–all outside the realm of violence. Now tell me how this is going to keep kids on the street and not off it. These kids know hard work. They’ve got moves down that people who are years older than them can’t accomplish. I’m gonna be on the lookout for these kids. Fresh to def.

I love hip hop.

On a serious note, these kids are a huge inspiration to me. With or without the hype of America’s Best Dance Crew… the bboy culture is coming alive and cats are leaving it because it’s becoming the cool thing to do. I mean, come on! Why leave the culture you say you love and have participated in for years hanging? Cats like Do-Knock and Rainen have brought out a new kind of RESPECT to the culture. It bugs me that people are leaving the scene because it’s part of the hype now. Really though, if you love it as much as you say you do, why does the hype matter?





Update, Update…

Peace y’all. I have finally found a quick second to return to my blog and give an update!

Quickly: Things are working out the way I would never expect them to. I’m confronted, I’m surviving, I’m overwhelmed and I become upset BUT it all works itself out the way I love that it does. It’s in the universe that things work themselves out. I have been in action, as these confrontations bring me to that light.

Zulu’s moving along. Tonight was an awesome night as we all put our cards on the table and basically have the longest and biggest debrief I think I’ve been in, in FOREVER. Geez Louise.

Work’s working. Schedule’s all planned out. I’m getting paid. I’m again considering taking up a second job which will most definitely be insane.

School is giving me the butt kicking I have MISSED SO MUCH. SO SO SO SO SO MUCH. I’ve started my perpetual study in the field of Child Development and I am the transformation of life itself for the children around the world. Little Panda Child Care will make its’ grand long-awaited appearance sooner than anyone may think. With my context around school, I am SO going to be done in my 24th year of birth. By then, my parents won’t be able to claim me as a dependent anymore, HA HA HA. Suck on that one.

My blue sexy baby, who remains unnamed, is getting better. I’m fixing her up one part at a time, and in no time, my car will be running in the best condition it probably has been running in in so long. I’m excited to see her on the track this year and see what she and I can do!

Mi familia es getting by. Father dearest has been deployed once again and will not return home for a long long six months. He’s missing all of our birthdays and all the festivities but it is a-ok. Dad’s gotta do what Dad’s gotta do. I love him. I miss him so much. My brothers continue to grow and I think Mom is really learning responsibility. I acknowledge her.

and the best part of them all: Relationship land with Christopher.

Chris and I have been working things through as couples do, and as those couples who do this do this: work things out. Our dynamic is so smooth that it gets a bit scary sometimes, however it works so well. We do have our times when we both thing each other are wrong, we take a consensus to create the middle ground for our conversation and situation. I love him more than the day before every day, and I plan to grow my love for the rest of my life. I’m committed that he doesn’t stay where he’s always been… that he doesn’t stay stuck in the same place forever. I want him to move forward socially, emotionally, physically, and psychologically. I want him to advance for the betterment and the reinvention of himself–and I want him to advance with me. <3

My birthday’s going to show up very soon and I am going to cry. I know it. I LOVE IT!

Good night. Good MORNING!
