Capoeira Day

Today, anyway, I'd like to present some Capoeira!

Capoeira is a Brazilian martial arts form that is inextricably linked to the history and culture of Brazil. Even with over 400 years of history, only recently has it truly has become a worldwide sensation. Mental and physical flexibility are required; though those two sound simple, when combined they present a formidable challenge. For more history and information, check out some of the links below!

Find of the day is ...

The Fabulous Group: D1 Autre Monde (D'Un Autre Monde)

They are truly out of this world. I greatly admire not only thier physical skills but also their passion for Capoeira and their unreal improvisation skills. As they twist and spin and truly take advantage of their bodies, they remind me so much of the grace, athleticism, and bonelessness of cats!

Sarah Duncan is a Music Video Star!

I LOVE this music video by Hot Water to the song Laduma. It is absolutely brilliant! The music is amazing and the lyrics and video are just wonderful and inspiring! ("Laduma" is what they call when they make a goal in soccer, and the man who's excitedly yelling in front of the television for his kid is commenting on the game.)

PLUS:

My wonderful friend Sarah Duncan is featured in it! She's laughing hysterically with her sister, her sister's boyfriend, and her family friend at 3:17! Please watch the whole thing, not just the part she's in!

I hope you become as addicted to this music video as I have!

Currently obssessed with ...

Shemar Moore and Hot & Spicy Barbecue Chips ... is there any way to combine the two in real life?

"I'm the fish with the carnivorous teeth!"

This is such an amazing video. Quality. I cannot describe to you how happy this video makes me feel everytime I watch it. Dibs on getting to be the Shark if this is ever recreated!
