That awesome moment when...

I realize that I wish my career could be teaching capoeira. I gave a demonstration of capoeira to a group of about 80 middle school kids this morning, and it…was…AWESOME! They were so engaged, and just about every one of them did my Aú (cartwheel) drill down the gymnasium floor :D We ended with a beginner’s roda with them all sitting in a circle to create the roda. We...

Tumblr and Youtube shut down by the end of 2011 →

southerncub: The title is a bit hyperbolic, but you really should sign this change.org petition. geekfeed: As the man say: Don’t just reblog this and feel like you helped the world because you’re half-assing it. Sign it. Reblog it. Sign it and reblog it. I, for one, find Tumblr one of the more reliable sources of information and one of the most up to date. We knew about the content of Obama’s...

What to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon?

Watch Fellowship of the Ring again? Queue up an episode of One Piece? Download new musics? Eat? Play video games? AOTA? Share some ideas with me. What do you plan to do on a day off?

100th Post! Exile Vilify by the National from Portal2. This is one of those songs I can put on repeat for hours. I am aware that I do not sing as well as I think I do. However, I dare you to show me yours ;)

bearthug replied to your post: What are the different colors of the cordão? And what is required to advance? The Raw one looks just like the white one…. Isn’t that somethin’? They are indeed similar, but the branco is a pure white, as if it were* bleached white. The crua is just the raw cord from the roll as it is purchased; nothing is done to the crua. *there is that conditional...

Occupy Wall Street March: Don't Wait. Reblog This...

rosinhabela: My name is Kelly Schomburg, I’m the girl with the red hair in these pictures. I was protesting at the Occupy Wall Street march yesterday when I and several other women were sprayed with mace and subsequently arrested.

asul replied to your photo: I love my new hoodie; it goes so well with my… cant believe ur just azul! xD Hehe. Thanks :) I used to be azul-marrom before I moved away from Kansas City. Being away for so long (7 or 8 years), I got busted back to crua when I came back. Just one more rank to go, then I’ll be where I used to be. Woot woot.

This past weekend was the Batizado for Axé Capoeira Kansas City. A long weekend of 4 to 6 hour workshops followed by the capoeira ceremony, the event called Batizado (baptism). If you deserve it, this is where a capoeirista can receive a promotion and a higher cordão. I was surprised and excited to be up for promotion. Here, I play with Professor Tigrão from Axé Capoeira Calgary for my azul...

This game looks better and better with each new video Bioware releases. Some call it a WoW clone, but what I see is different enough to be way better than what I left in WoW.
