Can't stop won't stop

AHHHHH. I'm sitting at my desk, and I can't think about anything but dancing. I'm getting soooo many ideas for tops and footwork sets, and I just have to sit here and work. Crap!

Last weekend was soooo busy. I didn't get home until 6am friday, saturday, or sunday. And I was out till 2 or 3 on tues, wed, and thursday. So I'm one sleep deprived bboy. Saki wednesdays may be back. Been going the past 2 weeks and seeing exit and seth again. And always good to party with joni and her crew.

Thursday was an amazing night at modern. There were actually girls there!!! But that never intimidates the halfstep hahaha. But it was a strange night. Usually hot girls ignore me in peace, but for some reason that night I was on point. It all started when I heard my jam and hit the circle hard....a little too hard. I knew my leg was coming off, so I just kicked it off. I guess there were a lot of new comers to modern that night, cause all I heard over the music blasting was a few gasps then loud ass cheers. And my halfstep footwork was on that night. I LOVE MODERN! Anyway after my set i crawled over to the booth to put my leg back on and I got mobbed by like 3 girls. It was nuts. And I was really glad because MJ finally decided to come to modern. Its always nice to see girls who love to "dance". And by dance I don't mean booty shaking. I mean all out this is my floor, my song, ....BYYAHHHHH. That kind of dancing. Anyway its always good to vibe with fresh faces. Then CAB crew hit up cheesesteak factory afterwards and just chilled, it was a good time....although I didn't get to bed till 4 that night.

Friday was fun too. Although I can't say I love eye-bar....cause that places sucks. They should rename it to club sardine, cause that's what I felt like. Even though I went early. There was no one in the techno room early though, so I busted out some headspins all over the floor haha. Threw a lil sum sum down. But then all the Virginians came and the club became butt crowded. Why was I at this dress up only, don't dance unless you're drunk into oblivion spot? It was my homie jenny's bday. So I had to come out and show some love. Got to see a lot of my ex-coworkers which was pretty cool. And I also got to hang out with Jenny's sister cindy who is also pretty cool. Friday night, arrived home at 5:30 haha. Nights of little/no sleep in a row (4)

Saturday was fun too. I started off the day early....11am (ok its early for me on a weekend) When I had to go to House's house workshop. Sound funny enough? House your name is too confusing! Anyway he was teaching house dance, which I am really interested in and the class was a blast and I think I learned a lot. Although I probably still look like a fool on the floor haha. But now I know a little foundation and can practice it. After that I had to head to the jam in manasses. It was a pretty funny jam. Ironman was one of the judges, and we all showed up too late to enter the battles, so we were a little salty. But we laid out an open challenge for anyone to battle cab crew and had a little exhibition battle against some people. It was fun, but I don't think I did as well as I should have. I always get too hype at jams .... Need to practice on that and learn to chill out and just kill the music. After the contest was over, we had a huge MD vs VA battle. And being the only DC cat, I battled everyone!!! hahaha. Ya, halfstep WHAT?! I ended up losing my leg again, and someout managed to do a 2.5 spin headspin drill. My first! I'm so close to headspins I can taste it. My taps are coming along and I'm starting to get more balance. I just need to learn to control my legs a little better. After the jame everyone bum rushed IHOP and we had a lot of fun. After that we drove all the way back to college park and hung out in one of the dorms with some other bboys, and some weird as pot heads. I almost forgot how weird potheads could be.... But it was a lot of laughs and a ton of new inside jokes! Time I got home: 6:00 am.

Sunday was another early day (11:30 ya shutup). Had another workshop, this time from YNOT of rocksteady crew. It was mainly a tops class and really inspired me to come up with some new stuff. Plus I finally got a step that I couldn't figure out for the longest time!!! So now I got some more vocab, and some new ways to increase my flavor. After the workshops I had my culture shock xmas party at dave and busters. It wasn't as fun as I'd hoped. I wasn't really getting any vibes from the place, so I ducked out kind of early and went back to DC dance collective for the workshop after party. Ok after dancing 2.5 hours earlier in the day, I danced from 10pm-5am. Ironman was killing it on the wheels of steel. I met an awesome houser/locker from philly and got to cypher with Ynot. He told me earlier in the day he really liked my style! I had a lot of fun jamming that night. There were only like 10 of us there, but it was sooo fun. Russ brought out a lot of records I never heard him play and that place was just bangin. I can't believe I didn't get home till 6am. Today I'm soooooo tired. Just going to go to sleep when I get home and die haha. Gotta recharge my battery for the trip back to chicago this weekend.
