Joy Unconfined

It’s taken me a while to get some rest and collect my thoughts about the events of this last weekend. Thanks to everyone who sent along kind wishes to Lisa and me. The support of dear friends and mere acquaintances alike are truly appreciated. That’s what I love about the people in our dance community. [...]

Off to compete. Yikes. Never done anything like this before. Should be fun, whatever the outcome. But my foot hurts. THAT’s not going to help. However, I will dance on it even if it feels like it’s going to explode. Then I’ll collapse and take drugs after. We’ve worked too hard and too long on [...]

In… OH so many ways. Stream of consciousness impressions from a wonderful (and much-needed) weekend. Thank you, Lydia and Yasmine the Destroyer (also very exclusively known as L.P.P. to the privileged), for dragging me along to T.F. 6, putting up with me, and indulging my vacillations between cluelessness and opinionated commentary. You can’t know how [...]

Two words: “Saddle Sore.” 7. “Hold it right there! Now, move your hand, reeealslow-like.” 8. “Let’s mount up!” 9. [...]

I get to go, after all. I’m not even a Tribal dancer, but I’m going to Tribal Fest. Hallelulah for small miracles… and people named Lydia. A weekend of watching cool people do cool dancing, and looking at cool merchandise… And then there are the Melodia pants… Oh. Mommy. If they have the peacock Phoenix [...]

Interesting. So here’s what I’d like to see someone do. Write a story, and center the ENTIRE thing around product placements. Every item that is used as the characters go about the business of doing whatever it is they have purpose to do… make sure each product is clearly defined. And then… instead of sending [...]

As has been said, very pointedly (and accurately), recently… I am out of my goddamned mind. Some are bearing more the brunt of that than others, but no one has been safe. For that reason, I’m going to effect a withdrawal of sorts. I think it’s time to keep my head down, put the blinders [...]

It’s about net neutrality, folks. Please look into it.
