This is why we need fantasy. We need to start to believe in the little lies, in order to believe in the big ones.
Facts are facts, but they only serve to outline brushstrokes of what IS. The important things, things like truth, beauty, love or mercy, is what the person fills in, and in doing, defines himself.

Thought Of You
Always liked collaborations between two different artforms. This is pretty amazing. And reflective.

The Dance Of Love
The music sets the tempo. Fast, slow. Happy, sad. Sultry, serious. Playful, grave. The dancers build on that music, and give shape to sound, and make the intangible tangible.
In a dance, one leads, another follows. Each role is as important as the other. The dance needs both to be involved, and for a span of time, they are committed.
The man takes the lead, and he takes upon himself the power that the woman willingly offers. He also takes on himself the responsibility of taking care of her for the length of the dance. He guides without hesitation, is clear without being pushy, and she follows. He adjusts to her nuances and shows her off, makes her look good. Looks out for her on the dance floor, keeps her safe. His job, is to make sure he communicates what he wants her to do. Clearly, without ambiguity. All without a single word said. He watches the room, watches her, the world fades. His attention is on the room. His attention is on her.
The woman follows, but she is not inferior or lower in status. She follows the lead because it is her choice, gives the power to the man, so she has more space to fully express herself. She lets herself be led, but in following the signals, throws in her own interpretation. She is free to throw herself into the dance, and express herself fully. She has the attention of everyone in the room, but her eyes are on one.
I was told by my first salsa instructor three important things in dance.
1. The job of the guy is to make her feel good, and look good.
2. Channel Antonio Bandares's confidence.
3. Men spend three times more time practicing than women.
I add a couple more rules.
4. Follow the music and be focused on the woman, and you'll naturally look good.
5. Lead well.
The moves we learn in class is just more vocabulary. And this is the advice paraphrased from Bruce Lee. Ultimately, it is the expression of oneself through movement. It is the expression of oneself, totally and completely. That way, it is the process of continuing growth. Train, so that when you want it, it is there. The advice works, both for dance, as well as martial arts.
Everyone will cock up in dance. There are a million and one things that might happen. But screw it. The important thing, is to live for the moment. Enjoy the dance, laugh it off, and continue. There's always another song, another beat, and at the end of the day, what matters are not the moves, or how flawless or complex the moves are, but the way you make each other feel.
Dance and relationships. It's not that different from each other, is it?

No Regrets
Heard this song on Britain's got Talent sang by the plucky Janey Cutler. Came back, and found the lyrics after some searching. After all, it's not exactly a pop song. But what lyrics.
Here are the lyrics
No, no regrets
No, we will have no regrets
As you leave, I can say
Love was king, but for only a day
No, no regrets
No, let there be no regrets
Why explain
Why delay
Don't go away
Simply call it a day
Pleading moments we knew
I will set them apart
Ev'ry word, ev'ry sign
Will be burned in my heart
But no tears will be shed
There'll be no one to blame
Let it always be said
We attempted what came
No, no regrets
No, we will have no regrets
As you leave, I can say
Love was king, but for only a day
Life still goes on
Yes, even though love has gone
One last kiss
Shrug and sigh
No Regrets even though it's goodbye
Post Script: Apparently Janey Cutler didn't win. But my goodness, what an amazing way to celebrate a woman who lives the song that shot her to fame!

Spanish is HAWT
The way the syllables roll off the tongue. The almost coy, sideways look of passion held barely in check. The wail of santana in the background...

Is This For Real? (NSFW)
Okay folks, this link is seriously NSFW, so do NOT open when you're at work. Nevertheless, ladies especially, in the spirit of knowledge, self improvement and an attempt to end to the female frustration, I need to find out.
IS THIS FOR REAL?!!?
Cos if it is, I'm carrying my laptop with my middle and ring finger from now on.
And a quick rant. Why in the world is it so hard to find information on pleasuring women? Men, well... we men are easy, and we have the entire pron industry demonstrating in myriad videos.
But women, it's comparatively scant information on how you like to be pleasured! And to get an educational video? I googled for a LONGG time, and I found one. ONE! Come on, the majority of us men have no. frigging. idea what to do to make you come to a screaming orgasm. So please don't do that "you should know what, it's obvious isn't it?"
It's not. Now give.

More evidence that Life is not fair. But some times, the unfairness result in things of beauty.

The Magicians of Basketball
Now some of the younger ones may not have heard this name before. But the Harlem Globetrotters are so good, that they have taken basketball to an art.
Don't believe me? Take a look.
A bit of trivia. On February 27, 2006, the Globetrotters extended their overall record to exactly 22,000 wins.
Their most recent loss came on March 31, 2006 when they went down 87–83 to the NABC College All-Stars to bring their loss tally to just 345—still a winning percentage of 98.4%.
Maybe the Slingers will get someone from that team in next season? Oh and Jean, wanna try out some of the stunts there?

Bring Me Love
Now I always liked original songs by independant composers. This one, is another from Marie Digby.
She's hot, she sings well, she can compose and she's hot. Wait I said that already.
Sasky, I have a feeling you can relate to this song.

Of Men and Sex
Maybe this will give a little more insight into why men are what they are.
It's the testosterone I tell you. The frigging testosterone!!
There I think that'll have summarized Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus in about 15 minutes.
