I think I just made my decision; and the next few weeks are going to be insane.
I hope you’re ready for me, New York. Cause you’re going to have to put up with me longer than initially planned.
This might be the last time for a long time before Hadji and I ever enter a 2on2 All-styles together again. We’ve spent the better part of 3 years trusting and growing with one another. I hope we go out with a bang this time around.

Rhythm is constant. Love is constant. Rhythm is that invisible pulse in music that lets you understand any song, regardless of style, artist, or culture. Love is that invisible pulse in life that lets you know that the terrible things happening in your life will pass and that there’s an end to every silence. The natural rhythm of life is it’s way of telling you that you may never...
During a moment of anger I punched through the wall in my bathroom today =(
Broke apart four tiles but I managed to put em back in place.
I’m a lil surprised and a disappointed in myself for being this way right now.
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! DAMNIT! I just accidentally deleted over 2 years worth of texts! I tried recovering but itunes is the dumb of the earth. =(

That last How I Met Your Mother episode really got to me.
Spoiler alert (just in case):
I really really really miss my dad right now. And it breaks my heart thinking about the last chance I had to talk with him in the hospital.
I’m remembering my words I spoke in front of everyone at his wake and I don’t believe i’m living up to some of my promises that I made back then.
I...
Dear Brian,
Please stop putting off folding your laundry for extended periods of time. Wrinkles covering 90% of any shirt make me look like a doucheslob.

1. Let go of attachments: According to Buddhist Philosophy, attachment is one of the roots of all suffering. I can’t agree more. We attach ourselves to all sorts of things even the most self-slapping stupid notions in the universe. Are you attached to something? How much…
Damn..thanks for this one.
I really needed to read this over and over and over especially after...
I think i'm weird.
I like to practice on my guitar while watching Hajime no Ippo.
and I like to workout listening to the music I wanna be able to play on guitar.
I should try switching that back up again soon haha.
Tron: Legacy
Finally got to check out Tron: Legacy tonight. To be honest I wasn’t looking forward to this movie at all. I don’t have the nerdy nostalgic soft-spot for this franchise as I never really saw the movie in it’s entirety as a child. I wasn’t interested in seeing it until reading an interview on Olivia Wilde. I liked how she spoke about putting so much thought and creativity...
B!! What can I say!?! AAAHHH! you were on FIRE yesterday! YES to all the costume...
– Every time I’ve read this I get pretty emotional. I have so much love and respect for Tiff that i’m so honored to hear this from her. I’ll keep pushing forward with everything I learned from her to make sure that I can pay-it-forward!

I'll eventually get around to talking about last...
Last week I:
Took Tiff’s intensive waacking/punking workshop every night for a week. (way awesome)
Entered my first waacking/punking battle on Saturday and placed top 4. It also happened to be my first jam that wasn’t locking or all-style.
Didn’t do any sort of locking.
Started playing the guitar. (learned to play the riff for Animal just now. woot.)
Was basically dumped...

I think some people might be surprised if they were to find out how much I actually train haha.
I learned a lot today and I accomplished a lot as well. I hope to continue to ride this momentum!
Goooood night!
p.s. I think I’m insane too. At least a lil b(it).
Your everyday efforts are also what define your weaknesses! So don’t waste...

Without having to explain what I mean, I just wanna say:
When i’m dancing and everything feels great and I know i’m doing alright for myself in that moment…
I smile offbeat.
and damn does it feel good.

2010: Footloose Dance Competition
Never thought this footage would actually surface but here it is! Me and a couple of DSP/AOV went out for this event. This is also where I met Charles; the other guy in the finals. Great event, good times, and yay iPad!

This might’ve been the event that proved to my mom I can get good things out of dancing =p

Dear January 1, 2011
You will forever be known as the “calm” before my “storm”.
Thank you for being a day of rest, meditation, and revelations (old and new).
Tomorrow is when the real training begins.
