Please Don't Stop the Music

Did you know that I spent the first 16 years of my life in silence?  I never developed my own taste for music.  That is just crazy.  I never knew what was out there.  I listened to the radio on car rides or to somebody else's playlist, never my own.  I discovered music and really started to love it in my senior year in high school.  I had a teacher that thought outside the box.

He wanted everybody to come together, from all different backgrounds, upbringings, and lots in life.  He wanted us to share out music and explain why it expressed us.

This was a weekly project, he actually graded us on it.  It was something unique that I really looked forward to.

Then, I started listening to playlists, buying cds, jammin' to the radio, bought a few mp3 players, and downloaded everything to my phone.

I had a nightmare once, I overslept and  was late for work.  The ringtone on my phone roared "And you will ... DIE!!"  I jumped out of bed, bounced off the ceiling, threw some clothes on and ran out to my mustang.

I spent the first two years jammin' to the tunes.  I just listened to the music to pass the time, to study, play video games, speedcube, and to get through the busy times at work.  I never could sing very well though.

I found out that I loved to dance.  I was just shy.  I really think I am good enough that I could shine if I didn't have stage fright.  I guess it is all about getting outside of your comfort zones.

Bboying has been very inspirational to my outlook on training.  It takes everything mainstream about fitness and shows something else different and amazing.

Music has been so motivating for me over the past few years.  Now, I am connecting with local artists.  I just had dinner with the Free Range Money Boys.  The lyrics are just phenomenal and so deep.  His words have meaning on another level than anything else I've seen before.

Be sure to check out the show at Circles Bar and Grill in Milford, DE.  The show is January 30th.  Sell out event, no doubt.

Unfortunately, tickets are being sold, cash only.  I had the solution.  Next month, I will be helping them build their website.  From there, they can sell tickets, post a schedule of events, promote videos, and display their merchandise.

Look for the website coming soon.  Also, guys, they are going to start releasing songs for me to exclusively use for videos of training and parkour.  Stay tuned.

Later!
