It's nice out why not?
Lots of good footwork. I wanted to switch it up a little, we put the cardboard down in the spot next my apt (the plus of living on a corner). This one dude said he was a bboy years ago. I said, "Dope never goes out of style." I hope he didn't think I was some sort of cokehead. Devon really popped today and Prabu too. Extra needs to get over his insecurties and just keep on rocking. Same thing to a lesser extent with Boston. Rest of yall is sleepin, with the exception of Ollie who's DJing the party I'm going to after I blog this out right quick. Mucho fun and getting better. Not enough crazy / offensive people, even though it was only 6 - 8pm it still is E Carson c'mon. Damn, I mean he should know what dope means.
Friday
Finally realized my dream of hitting two practices. Kim and Ming @ 6, Prabu and Devon @ 8.
Everyone is looking sooo good. Very proud of the four people I mentioned earlier, straight improvement. Nothing really changed, I just had two pretty decent practices with some cheap sushi and an Arizona Lemonade. It was a really good time. Devon and I danced for two toddlers and a baby. The bald father awkwardly gave me props as they left. Props to you my friend for having three children and taking care of them. Hit a good deal of good footwork within my style.

Thursday
There was a practice at CMU on the good floor.
Wasn't really feeling this one hella tired and sore from all the practices. Still got some work in.

Wednesday
Was jazzed to get an extra bit of practice when Devon hit me up about a 9pm. I was making arrangements to hit the Morewood practice at 7pm.
Fail. I got to Morewood around 8:35pm and there was some dude taking pictures. So fuck it, went over to the UC and looked for space. Janitor with thick Russian accent lent me Rangos 2 for the night, so long as I didn't mess up the chairs around the table.
Mainly did footwork, some back rock sets, lots and lots of tops. Since nobody was around and I was kinda tired I started to try to figure this style I was thinking of. I guess it would be approaching footwork as a series of small jumps. It's inspired from when some people (Domkey?) jump from a step to do flares. I think it would be way nastier to incorporate some kind of slide to footwork or just no handed footwork.
Good practice.

Tuesday +5
Got in a meeting at work and wore my magic green shoes. Two j on some beast stuff :/ but it works as dense as it is; :/ again.
This was the hardest practice I've ever been to. *note* Fatigue is only mental if you can still physically execute. *note* With proper training execution is a decision. It's all just orders to your body. *note* People hate on tricks/power, but it's an easy way to get the whole of your body to follow specific orders. Man, I was laid out several times and I was able to get up and do some runs and some tops.
Kim and Ming held down the drills, that's how you really get good. Repeatedly putting yourself in planned situations. I only did a couple because I went supremely hard with some good results some eh. Like it was battle worthy stuff (i hope!). But really it was the only point in the practice were I failed mentally. This practice felt like a good cross country practice.

Kim And Ming Are Back!
Was a bit faded and thought to myself, I really really need to go to practice.
I was pretty much fire all way round. Seeing Lancelot at Ava, watching Ynot (the real one) in a tops battle, and something else got me really excited about clean, thoughtful tops. I tried some flat step and patterns into combination back to pattern stuff. A bit difficult to keep it all in time while guessing but it'll get there. Power was on today! I pretty much have halos, sometimes I bend my leg but there's no reason I shouldn't be able to crank out 5 - 8. So close to airflare > mill, I did a crummy one at practice. The problem isn't as much the airflare now as it is finding where I am and being able to whip. Highlights!:
1. flares > swipes > flares > mill (x2 :P ) > halos x2 (crash, the leg bending thing)
2. 90 > mill > headspin drill (i got maybe 5 or 6)
3. airflare > mill (it was shitty, but it was the first time I could execute it)
4. flares > mill > halo suicide (clean!)

Skeme On Deck
Not sure what kind of space I'll get. I'm considering not going, but I should to hear some tunes. I have tunes at the crib though and this bed is pretty comfortable. That's really lazy though, I've been doing well with the dancing so I should keep it up before I start fucking up. To be honest, I don't want to drive on Saint Patty's Eve or whatever people are drinking in droves for. I want to try things, but I don't want to have my heart set on something and then not be able to do tops. This bed is really comfortable.
Oh man, i am pretty much faded hard. Going out was right though, to see Lancelot dumb down his steps to dance with regular heads was enough for me to see. Rocking never felt more in place out of place. Life is definitely only perspective and what you choose to be truth. I don't even feel like explaining.. ask me about it.

Hittin style at the club and at practice!
Gotta practice today before Katie's and then at Katie's.
Dude, shit was serious. I hit my style in several sets, really feeling the movements in the music. Granted they were all songs I was well versed in, but I was hitting the music in anticipation! Killing power too like in there I hit (flare > mill > halo > swipe) x2. I think I am closer to air flare > mill and back bending into a 90. Holla!
Much props to my nigga Devon (D Smiles), we were doing those hard moves at the club. No bullshit is the standard! We were crushing, I had some weak moments but flare > mill > halo x2 > halo spin out kind of sets were the norm. Holding it down with Ollie. Then the music got wack. And my date was wack! Sorry she was. But Jay Malls delivered, if women were like an ill Jay Malls set then man wouldn't need worry.

Thursday
Went hella hard with Cody drinking and playing pool on Weds. So practice at CMU!
An interesting opportunity to see how long I could go. About 2:30. So, I went with the ideas I was supposed to on Monday. I forgot a couple, but I can do that next practice.
1. walkovers and back bending: I think I'm close to being able to pull the walkover stopping in handstand regularly. doing it in the close legged position is another feat.
2. flare > headspin: The exercise is good, but my foot still draggin! Hit it pretty regularly.
3. airflare > mill: My airflare was low today. Fail.
4. halos!: On fucking fire. I went swipe > mill > halo x4 > two poses (the second one was kinda wack tho)

Tuesday
Wanted to practice today.
Practiced at CMU on the first floor of the UC. Was OK, was more fun to see heads there than to dance really. Hit my style in a couple sets and felt good about that. Devon hit a nice power run, making the come up!
