My 2008, quick reflection

I do not even know where to begin! It has been awhile since I've actually written about my life and all the randomness. Anyways, so much has happened this past year. Let's see, I had the craziest time of my life because it was my last semester at Loyola Marymount University and you all know how that goes. Graduating college was definitely a huge accomplishment and I am so grateful to have it under wraps.

2008 was also a big year for me as a dancer. I won my first jam in Long Beach (2v2) with Mach3 and continued to win more competitions at Bedlam (5 vs 5, Militia Crew) and even a cypher king competition in Seattle which allowed me to travel to Vancouver. I was progressing faster than I thought and all my ideas were flowing well.

Upon graduating college, my parents moved to Seattle which was really weird for me because I used to live in the east coast my whole life. So the weekend after graduation, I went directly to Seattle for the whole summer not knowing anyone and wondering if I would ever be back in L.A. While I was in the Northwest, I managed to be productive and pulled off another Claws Out event with all of Mikeskee's help.

The jam was a great success and It was a big deal for me that the event happened out of state. In the midst of everything, I managed to get back to Los Angeles. I found a job and got my own place! Now after Claws Out Seattle, me and my partner Sam Marks were a month away from the biggest event we have ever thrown...CLAWS OUT 3 back at LMU. I thought I was insane for throwing 2 big events with a month break in between but thats how I like life...CRAZY. People really do not understand how much work goes into throwing a jam, let alone a QUALITY, WELL ORGANIZED ONE. We have always had a mission with Claws Out and its a dream come true to see what it has become.

Now this event I can proudly say was for sure THE BEST. I could not have asked for anything better :) People flying in from everywhere, it was like one huge party. Barely slept that weekend. After all this, things settled down a bit and I relaxed...but guess what ITS 2009 AND I'm GOING ALL OUT!

THE END
