Hip Hop 101



Can't believe this was almost a year ago.
Despite the stiffness, awkwardness and missteps...(sigh)
I had so much fun.
Let's do that again!!!

Les Twins





Ya'll got to check 'em out.
AMAZING freestyle it is.
They are taking dance to a whole another level. Official champions of new style.
Although (and you could probably tell by their movements) they have not been trained professionally like most other dancers, I wonder how they could react to music so naturally. What distinguishes them from others is their creative interpretation combined with their musicality. Afterall dance is a form of expression, hence ART.

"Creativity is not the finding of a thing, but the making something out of it after it is found."
-James Russell Lowell

행동하는 지식인





"긴 시간에 걸친 나의 삶을 이끌어준 근본이념은 '자유'와 '책임'이었다. 인간은 누구나, 더욱이 진정한 '지식인'은 본질적으로 '자유인'인 까닭에 자기의 삶을 스스로 선택하고, 그 결정에 대해서 '책임'이 있을 뿐만 아니라 자신이 존재하는 '사회'에 대해서 책임이 있다는 믿음이었다. 이 이념에 따라, 나는 언제나 내 앞에 던져진 현실 상황을 묵인하거나 회피하거나 또는 상황과의 관계설정을 기권으로 얼버무리는 태도를 '지식인'의 배신으로 경멸하고 경계했다. 사회에 대한 배신일 뿐 아니라 그에 앞서 자신에 대한 배신이라고 여겨왔다. 이런 신조로서의 삶은 어느 시대 어느 사회에서나 그렇듯이 바로 그것이 '형벌'이었다."

Die Idee ist gut, doch die Welt noch nicht bereit

Die Idee ist gut, doch die Welt noch nicht bereit
Geh doch mal zum Bahnhof
in der sogenannten Frühlingszeit
Sag "Hallo" zu einem Fremden
der einem Zug entsteigt
Lad ihn ein zur Cola
im Imbiß gegenüber
Vielleicht hat er Probleme
und möchte reden drüber

Wahrscheinlich hat er gar keine Zeit
Die Idee ist gut, doch die Welt noch nicht bereit
 Fahr doch mit dem Fahrrad
in ein anderes Stadtgebiet
Sag "Hallo" zu einem Mädchen
das dich erstmal übersieht
Lade sie zum Eis ein
Stracciatella oder Nuß
Vielleicht bedrückt sie was
über das sie reden muß

Wahrscheinlich hat sie gar keine Zeit
Die Idee ist gut, doch die Welt noch nicht bereit

Gestern um halb drei
habe ich noch ein Lied gemacht
und ich rufe eine Freundin an
mitten in der Nacht
Und ich singe es ihr durchs Telefon
und es sagt: "Ich liebe dich"
Kurz bevor ich auflege
schäme ich mich
 Wahrscheinlich hat sie gar keine Zeit
Die Idee ist gut, doch die Welt noch nicht bereit

Wahrscheinlich hat sie gar keine Zeit
Die Idee ist gut, doch die Welt noch nicht bereit

"Don’t tell us what we can’t do.
Don’t tell us not to dream.
Big, Fat, Hairy, Audacious Dreams.
Life Making the world better through sport.

Sport is our Passion
Sport reduces disease, lowers crime, rallies communities and denies prejudice.

Sport laughs in the face of racism, flicks a towel on sexism’s butt.
Hell, it’s even been known to stop wars.
That’s a pretty impressive resume. Sport, You’re hired.
We won’t rest til everyone on this planet has access to it.

We will make the best gear, to propel humanity forward
without wrecking our global playground in the process.
 We will do good with a vengeance.
We’re going to be so environmentally friendly it will make you puke.
Think performance and sustainability hitting it off so well
They have each other’s name tattooed across their chests.

And to all the cynics we’re going to make the world better for you anyway.
Because like sport we don’t discriminate.
We’ve made the world better
But we still want a better world."

Sylvie Guillem


Living Legend.

Despite her reluctance for ballet, she had an excellent understanding of its "superficiality" and rigidity.
I have to admit that I like her more as a modern dancer though.
Hope to see her perform soon.

Listening to A&J while lying on a beach
Feeling the breeze tingle my ears
Gradually filling me up with warmth
