First Victory

Ok, I still don't believe it, but I won a battle. Don't get really excited, it wasn't a real bboy battle, but I'm $500 richer so I won't complain :D

My friend Joseph from culture shock was invited to bring some culture shock ppl to dance for the opening of this battle at club love. Since I don't know the choreo for any of the medley, I wasn't originally going to go, but eh, being VIP and dressing however I want is the only way I will ever go to love, so I went. I wasn't even going to enter the battle because club battles are usually whack. But I was pushed in and did my thing and made it into the battle. The battle was kind of shady, it seemed they picked people at random to move on in the next round. I battled one of the lab rats who could smoke me (at least now ;)). During the battle my leg fell off and I moved on; somehow I think that's behind it. Then later on I had saved some of my power and took out some ppl with my scissor kicks combo which I guess is a real crowd pleaser. I still don't believe I won.

Which kind of makes me think, out of the other bboys that battled I think most could take me. Which kind of makes me feel like having my leg fall off was the reason I won. I have a lot of mixed feelings about that. I don't really want any special treatment. But I guess having one leg does make me special. I have to train twice as hard as most people to find new ways of doing things. I think this is something I will struggle with a lot, so I'll have to learn to accept it. I'm not going to hide my leg, it is one of my assets. I'm proud of it. This is my way to inspire, even if I don't win, I'm still doing my thing and having a blast.

I feel bad for the people who I battled who should have beat me. But I guess this is the way club battles work. When I "am" good and deserve to win, and someone else beats me, I will just have to remember times like these. Everything balances out in the end. I just want to thank joseph and those who pushed me in the circle for giving me this opportunity and thank god for the talent and opportunity to win.

Peace out yall
