Yes! Today is the first day of Spring and its raining cats and dogs outside as I write this! How perfect, no? I guess the whole saying “Spring Showers” so applies right now. Real nice. haha. =D

I love and hate Spring. (odd huh?) I love it, because during Spring, flowers are blooming and the weather is not to hot nor too cold, just right. It’s probably the best time to go to the beach too, since you know that you won’t get a bad sun burn. You can also work out better, knowing you won’t die from the blazing heat or frigid cold air. I hate it because pollen is EVERYWHERE! I’ve actually been sniffling since last week. I can barely get to my car from my house without scratching my nose. It really sucks, and I don’t want to be doped up on sinus medicine all day. Ugh, I wish I lived by the ocean, it would be so much better…haha.

Why do you like or dislike Spring? How’s the weather in your neck of the woods?

So, I joined Capoeira this week. If you are wondering what the heck that is, it is Brazilian martial arts…if you will.

Capoeira dates back hundreds of years to the slave trade period in Brazil. African slaves were brought to Brazil to work in the tobacco and sugar farms. They were brought in from many different parts of Africa and there began a melding of cultures. While their conditions looked bleak, the slaves kept their hopes of freedom alive by practicing their native traditions. Then, disguised as a cultural dance, the slaves began to practice Capoeira. Acrobatics, sweeps, kicks, ginga… Capoeira was born. But Capoeira gave slaves more than hope.

In Pernambuco, a group of forty slaves used Capoeira to rebel against their master and burned down the plantation house. They then set themselves free and headed for the mountains. Eventually they reached what they felt was a safe place and named it Palmares, because of the abundance of palm trees. In this place, an African community was born. It lasted nearly a century and grew to a population of more than twenty thousand.”

So far, I’m really loving the class. Everyone is really nice and fun to be around.

The workout though is a whole other story, I didn’t know I was so out of shape (lying to myself) until I started the workout routine they have. OMG I thought I was going to DIE! Today was my second day…or well yesterday and I still hurt everywhere. Especially my legs, I think it has to do with me breaking my ankle once upon a time and fracturing the other a couple of times…sports does that to ya. But I know that if I keep on with this class, I’ll get back into shape in no time and also learn some cool moves along the way!

Good luck for me!

My first post for the new year, may there be many more like it! haha, I hope that all you had a wonderful new year? No crazy and wild parties huh? *cough*

Oh my there were so many accidents yesterday, some people can be just so reckless. What’s worst is that it happens all the time around here. Orlando is like the worst place to drive, always heavy traffic and too many “wanna-be racers” *points to self* But at least I know when NOT to accelerate my car too much. Mostly all of those people like that are teenagers, since Orlando is a pretty neutral place, but known to be made up of money, its not surprising to see a 16 year old with a hooked-up BMW or Mercedes. Its normal and sad.

So anyways, yesterday I got home around 2:30 sadly since the party I went, which was pretty fun and all, had to end earlier when all the retarded guys had to start fighting. The poor host was really mad, I mean c’mon the morons were disrespecting his house and hospitality! The sad thing is it wouldn’t stop, they went from the backyard all the way to the front, REALLY annoying trying to avoid those rejects. I had to ask an ex co-workers of mine’s boyfriend to get my car because they started banging on the car in back of mine! Psh, I was not having any of that crap! So he got my car and we said our goodbyes and left. What a waste.

The funny part and big finishing of the night was when I got home and was not in the house even 5 minutes, when I look outside three cruisers (cops) flashing their lights.  All I’m thinking is that it has to do with the house next door who is having a party, and low and behold its our stupid next door neighbor who is complaining. This guy has some real serious issues. He complains about EVERYONE on the block. when we first moved here, he complained about every little thing under the sun about us to the Home Owners Association. It was really sad too, since the HOA said he always did this and not to worry about him. Still though he kept on until like a year ago he stopped. Whatever the guy is a bum, and was just mad everyone else was having fun and not him. Boo hoo.

haha, well that’s all for now. Again Happy New Year everyone!
