Dance

I don't care what anybody says, I'm obsessed with the show So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD).

Now I didn't watch last season (season 4) But i've been watchign videos of some of the dances. There is just one dance that I keep replaying over and over and over. Now I understand this happens with music but really, a dance?
Accompanied by a great song "No Air" by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown, it defeinatly makes this lyrical hiphop one of my favorites to watch. I guess I would consider the song R&B and well I'm a sucker for R&B dances because it's such a soft side of hip hop.
I've probably watched over 10 different versions of this dance by the same couple. They performed at different places during their SYTYCD tour in 2008. And to think it all started by wanting to know why the winner was the winner. I didn't even watch any of the dances last season, but I feel the urge to download the season to watch it in higher quality on my tv (vs youtube).

For the sake of linking here's the video in probably the best quality I could find (with a little intro). It's the first (and only) result.

Other dances I particularly enjoyed from season 5. I'll embed this one from yotuube, because the quality is actually decent.


Again, the soft hiphop is a win.

And finally, completely unrelated to R&B, someone I thought was a phenomenal dancer but didn't make it into the top 20 because he was under contract with Miami City Ballet company. Alex Wong!




Enjoy!

Scheduling

If you know me well enough, then you should know what i'm talking about

Managing my team's schedule and managing my own schedule....is difficult. It's a puzzle. It's problem solving. It's analysis, communication and organization. But weirdly....I have a sense of power. To be able to switch around ppl and myself at will and ask people to compromise might sound rather controlling until you find that you are actually switching your own schedule to accomodate for them. Is it at that point you lose control of their schedule and find that they are controlling yours??? Probably, but ultimately putting your foot down doesn't work all the time.
Because:

1) Not everyone is getting paid for planning for you. (but maybe i should start charging!)
2) Because money is not the incentive, happiness meter must be kept above average or mildly average of 6-7 hearts out of 10. When the people grow weary, so does production.
3) Volunteering does not imply committment. Volunteers are not forced to do things but volunteer out of necessity or desire.  Putting that foot down can provide that extra force tipping the scales making your weight too much for you to handle. (see how i made a long pun!!)

So what's the benefit?

The experience i'm getting. I think we would agree that unpaid experience if relevant to personal positive growth, is a good 'investment' granted you agree that it is relevant for any long term goal.
And the vision.  People can support a need once or twice, but will support a cause for a long period of time to see it grow and move forward. People love progress, a journey, a good story. Although people would approach it from many angles, the angle I take is the angle that pushes me forward.

But I have to be careful that it's forward that I want to go. Maybe I need to start reorienting my direction first.



1:45am and still scheduling. my entry might have been incohesive. I think i'm tired. It's a busy week for me. I can't wait until Sunday when I can sleep. ^O^ *yawn*

**EDIT*
I thoguht about deleting some of my post out of fear that it doesn't make sense. (some people are picky) But I think it'll be okay. If there's discrepencies talk to me about it and we can chat over a cup of coffee that you will buy for me. =p

I think it would be interesting how the world would operate if everyone had to communicate through music.
Although I think in the world I envision, I assume that everyone would evoke some emotion as they expressed their  music. But I guess that's not any different than the world now.

I never really pay attention to lyrics, but everytime I listen to Chris Brown's "Forever" there's always a string of lines that I really like listening to. I'm not really sure if ti's because of the way he sings it, or if it's how the words are phrased. I think it's in the bridge:

"...what a beautiful lady
No "if"s, "and"s or "maybe"s
I'm releasing my heart and it's feeling amazing
There's no one else that matters
you love me and I won't let you fall gir
l..."

Now it's strange that I don't really think about the lines before or after since it's like mid sentence. I think maybe it's just the way the melody changes at that point that makes me stop what i'm doing just to listen to those lines.
Aside from that, the only lines I hate listening to are " Double your Pleasure, Double your Fun." The thoughts of spearment gum run through my head which sort of kills it for me.

I admit that the song is pretty catchy and has the electo-singing incorporated (but i know Chris Brown CAN sing and doesn't need any sort of enhancement). And I've also seen dance moves to this song choreographed by ppl online, on youtube specifically, which I have attempted to copy in the privacy of own home or personal space when I think nobody is looking.

Still, I like listening to this song.

If the world had to communicate through music though I could see certain parallels to the current world. People would still flock to the talented ones. And the ones who may not be gifted in music become loners or stick together to create some sort of noise to fit in. Or maybe they create Emo music lol.

I dunno it's just a thought. This post is not meant to offend anyone. If you're emo please don't kill yourself. Create music to bitch about it (or at least emo blog sheesh!)!

no really i'm sorry if i offend anyone. They are simply thoughts. ;)

sometimes i wonder who actually reads my blogs.

If they do it must not be comment worthy....  OR my comments to them are not reply worthy. If i replied to your blog in the last two days i'm not talking about you btw ;P.... that is.... if you actually read this.

Hishoku no Sora

There are some days I listen to a song over and over because it makes me feel sad.

Today is one of those days.
