Better untitled emo bs.

The act is all too consuming, and then you're shrooming
and suddenly, the situation is so dire and sad you want to laugh
The oil spills, trillion dollar bills, and the lonely that sticks at your side like a friend with nothing better to do.
I could crush a can in my fist every time I feel pissed from watching cute indie couples kiss.
I could shut all the windows, watch stupid tv. shows and forget our huge fucking debt exists.
But that isn't very helpful is it?
I'll start with a shower to scrape this sadness off my skin.

So I was busy this weekend....

Several things on the agenda today...


This weekend I attended The Foundation Breakdance Battle at Bossanova. It was siiiiick. Push Jones got to perform and were even later complimented by the judge and former contestant of America's Best Dance Crew, Do-Knock. Turns out he's a fun guy to party with as well. After having a couple drinks at the battle me, some of the Push ladies, and Do-Knock mosied up the road to The Report for the after party. My heavens.... So many breakdancing people. Twixxx of the Massive Monkey's made an appearance (also from ABDC). After several whiskey/cokes I pulled out my favorite MC Hammer dance move in front of the hip hop professionals. If you're unsure what that looks like, watch this...I am such an idiot sometimes... Day 2 of Foundation was pretty decent too with my duties including PROMOTIONS! Some people scream and run away in fear and the first mention of doing promotion work. I on the other hand love to make an ass of myself in public and talk to large groups of people so I accepted the offer with open arms. That day I was promoting workshop a with Do-Knock and Twixx at my lovely home studio Vega Dance Lab the following day. I made sure everyone who even looked close to being able to dance recieved a flyer :) I found the best strategy if people tried to give the flyers back to was to drop my arms and insist that I had none. Muhahahaha. I'm evil. And uh.. New Push Jones poster by my choreographer's husband, Joe. So cool.

I actually ended up going to that workshop and it was kick ass. When I say kick ass I mean it kicked my ass. Today I am brandishing bruises and sore muscles. Apparently Do-Knock is a beast when it comes to choreography and it turned out to be most welcome. I was pushed. It was good. FEEL THE BURN! Twixxx ended up teaching a sort of freestyle workshop on how to jump into dance circles. I feel like I've always been pretty comfortable with this. My issue is getting some new material. The hammer can only take me so far, right? By the end of the class, I was exhausted but soo happy to have gone and been able to experience the talent these two dudes have to offer, let alone their kindess. Good people. Here's a video of them both. Be impressed.

We're doing things.

Tommorow is my hip hop crew, Push Jones' first performance of the season. Am I nervous? Within reason, yes. One because I haven't technically performed in over a year and two, because I will be getting off work late and have to drive to Corvallis in Friday evening traffic on I-5 South. I'm sure I'll make it. I mean the show starts atleast 4 hours after I get off of work but you never know, you know?

Other than that I am epicly stoked. I feel that even though we just kind of pulled our heads out of our asses it's going to be wonderful. I love the routine and I love my crew (though it may be a bit early to use the word love). I can't wait for so many things in regards to Push Jones. We have a kick ass website coming out soon (pushjones.com) and more shows to come within the next 2 weeks! Shit.. that reminds me.... I gotta dance in high heeled boots in 2 weeks. Holy freaking cow. (Why Goldie Hammerhead Locks are you dancing in high heeled boots when you are in a hip hop crew?) Well that question is easily answered. Our dearest choreographers are very talented and very different in their styles. One is more traditional old school hip hop funk and the other is sexy burlesque saucy hip hop. It makes for a stunning combination and I think it will be perfect to diversify Push Jones. More to come about us and our adventures! This
