jay park vs atomic goofball! call out fever seoul!

one of my fav songs/music video from back in the day

tomorrow i battle again….

Tomorrow sept 11.. WIll be the first day i have battled/competed in a while. The last time I battled was months ago and my heart and mind wasnt into it. I was on auto pilot. Tomorrow I will test myself to see what else I have left!

Today is a beautiful day!

I have been training. Getting back into the groove! Not just getting back into it, but cutting it up, and re-creating it! My lifestyle has changed and my mindset is way beyond positive! The sun shines after the rain they say…so imagine how beautiful the sun is after a hurricane.
Yesterday my friend daniel zhu came to help me film a video for a event being put together by the Korean government. We had a lot of great ideas to really set the bar for the competition! I am really excited about the final product. Daniel is very creative and talented when it comes to video editing and directing! Once it’s done i’m sure you all will enjoy it as much as i enjoyed filming it!
After wards I went to the fair with Thuy, Janny, and My. I havent been to the fair in such a long time! there was a lot of people there and i really like the smells of the fair. Not smells like old dudes and beer or sweat. More like funnel cake, sausages, pizza, turkey legs!! It was good times and i just really enjoyed spending time with good company.

Today, I think its BBQ day!

update

hey everyone, It’s about time that i update my blog. A lot has been going on in my life…a lot of changes. Things i thought were real turn out they aren’t. Things i thought i loved, i cannot love anymore. I started a new life and im breathing new fresh air. I took a break from dancing, drawing, everything. I re-evaluated my life. I did this because i needed to know what is real in my life. I had no desire to dance or to draw…no desire to drive my car that is worth lots of money. I just wanted to be left alone and to be forgotten. Life then threw me opportunities. FATE. I met new people and my life is finally looking positive again. It’s amazing how meeting the right person can bring back the good in your life. Not much is needed to be done, it can be simple and small, but that is enough to change the ripple in the water. I am back to dancing and drawing and I cannot wipe this smile on my face. Think about the one thing that u cannot help smiling about….that’s where i am now. I still feel very paranoid and afraid though. I dont want to do the wrong things and ruin the great things that are happening now. All i know is right now at this moment I am happy and I want the world to know it!

The real “human dream”

Checking in and tuning all yall in with whats on the atomic goofbrain.

First thing first, congrats to my Fam BATTLE SNAKES for making top 16 freestyle session 12!!! huge accomplishment! they have turned a dream of mine and made it into reality and MORE! i love you guys and from the very bottom of my heart and soul thank you!

moving onwards, lately I have been sitting outside and thinking a lot. Life is very short and a lot of us don’t realize our own mortality. I totally understand, it is a very scary thing. Everyday i wake up and put on my uniform, and i say to myself “Dammit, i wish i didnt have to work”. Those words right there say a lot. When you wake up and thats the first thing you say or think, I have a strong feeling that it means you are unhappy with what you are doing. If thats the case, then are you really going to but your full effort into what you do? maybe…maybe not…lets be honest eh? You dont wanna go to work, all you think about is what you could be doing if you werent at work.
I feel that everyday of my life.
I feel like that kid who sits at the window and watches the neighborhood kids play!
I work at carmax, just recently go the job, hate it. For reasons i wont get into right now.

I am a bboy, an entertainer, an actor, an artist! This is what i want to do! i feel like im wasting my short life away doing anything otherwise!
Its an endless cycle and “time management” is supposed to help me!? no it just makes me crazier! I want to put my absolute 100% into what i love! not 60% into what i love and the rest in a retail job just to pay the bills!

This is how the world works now, you are trained from birth to follow the new paved roads of what is “right” and what you are “supposed” to do. The “safe” plan, the “back up” plan! damn im using a lot of quote thingies!
what happened to the free spirited artists? The ones that innovate and create..like edison, tesla, michaelangelo, da vinci, etc u get my point.
Now a days, people who are artists get degrees and get planted into a company and share the innovations with these corporations who get fat off of your brain. So many legalities and technicalities. It takes away from the life and love of creation and of course the brain. We no longer create to show our love and passion, no longer create to benefit our fellow man, no benefits is an added bonus. No we do it for fame and fortune. To be the next big thing or to be know as the creator of XXXXXX. The intention now, is to come up with something new and different than the last big thing, so that we can have a personal jet, yacht, big house, and to be on the permanent VIP list of the hottest club so that we can again show off our status to the sexy hot thaaang dancing to the music.
Remember guys, this is just my rant and opinion, you dont have to agree with me.
Maybe i should invent something or start my own company to join this prestigious club. The new “american dream” or should i say the real “human dream”.

who can roast the most 10 DC!!!!

I dont even know where to begin!!! IT WAS BANANAS!!! this jam is what our scene (md/DC/VA) needed!!! I havent been so hype and seen so much energy in YEARS! This jam reminded me of that magic of how jams used to bein in the late 90s-early 2000s. People dying to cypher, Hyped battles, entertaining hosts, and an incredible floor!

Lets move on. My battle. Originally i was asked to battle evil ben but he couldnt do it, then i was asked to battle Metal from repstyles, then he couldnt do it. So i was stuck, WHO AM I GOING TO BATTLE!? ill battle anyone at this point…this is WHO CAN ROAST THE MOST!!! when i started bboying this is one of the jams I always dreamed about attending let alone BATTLE IN IT! My friend Lowdown hits me up and says “dude, u should battle Danger DAT from california, you guys are both hilarious and dope!” DING DING!!! hell yeah! game on lets do it!
he flies in, i pick him up from the air port so that he can crash with me (i know, we supposed to battle eachother yet we have a slumber party together) Hes a really cool dude, amazingly talented! Hes got a lot goin on!
Next day is game day…AND IM HELLA NERVOUS!!! i dont know what to expect, i dont know Dat’s moves and i dont know what hes gonna pull out against me not to mention i dont know if i can even last 4 rounds let alone 10!!!!

welp here it is for u all to see…the battle between me and danger dat.

coming this SUNDAY!

so lately ive been out of the loop, trying to train for an upcoming match…quite possibly the biggest battle ive ever participated in, Who Can Roast the Most. Not only is it a super famous event to bboys, its like one of the ultimate tests of endurance, arsenal, battle tactics, and of course who can roast! its gonna be epic and i hope all of u can come and witness! i will be battling a top notch bboy from san diego california, Danger Dat. I am really looking forward to pitting myself against a great bboy from the west again!

last night

So yesterday, i was chillin and my boy Ghost calls me up. Asks me to do a performance with him and a couple other guys at a venue in DC. This was a special performance because the owners are letting ghost throw his breakdance battle there so we are doing this to show appreciation.
We get there and im really stoked! My gf is with me, and this place is HOT!! its huge and very visually appealing! I notice there are a lot of guys there, some wearing bright colors and some running around in leopard Briefs, it hits me…it was gay night or something! We performed and totally rocked it!!! the crowd loved us!! Wierd to say but they were one of the best crowds ive ever danced for not to mention there was some sort of a “safe” kinda feeling being there….yes clown me for saying that but i didnt feel like i was being judged for how i looked (i was wearing a spider man shirt, shorts, goggles, and white knee pads) and of course i wasnt scared some douche was gonna hit on my girl and try to fight me.
We all then went to modern DC afterwards and had a grand ol’ time!
