Write a story using your words

One time long ago there was a man named David. He was a man who traveled long distances. He Paid heed to the king wherever he went. One time he was walking down a forest road when Inadvertently he ran into a tree. That’s when a worm came out all parsimony and mad. He was fumed because his apple fell from the tree. His eyebrows were merging from his scowled expression.

Write a song with your words

Heed to the rules! Before They become fumed at us… so don’t be inadvertent and go against the aliens. Don’t hold a parsimony attitude before they eat us! So merge your life into their rules or beware,beware! 

So im listening to this really great song called First if the year-skrillex, its a good dubstep song! the music video if pretty funny, its about a pedophile following a little girl around. after awhile she goes down into a parking garage,      when the pedo finally corners her, he starts to grab her and BAM! the drop happens in the song and she becomes crazy and attacks the guy with her mind .

essay

Shuffling and Jumpstyle.

Shuffling was originated in Australia in the early 80’s. it’s from the dance called stomping. It is played to the genre of music called techno. The most popular techno to shuffle to is “Electro house’’ and “hard style”. Electro house is a subgenre of house music. The electo house movement happened in the ealy 2000’s. Hard Style originated from hard trance. It has a very hard bass line, and is used to hardstyle shuffling.

There are many forms of shuffling. The main ones are Hardstyle Shuffle, Melbourne Shuffle, Electro Shuffle, Cali Shuffle, and the Malaysian Shuffle. My favorite is either Melbourne shuffle, for how smooth it looks, to the Malaysian shuffle for its uniqueness. Malaysian shuffle was conceived in Malaysia. Just like Melbourne was conceived in Melbourne Australia. Learning how to shuffle is a tremendous feeling once you get it. When I first learned I did it in front of my church’s youthgroup at a camp. I am now known as THE shuffler over there! The feeling of accomplishment pulsed through my body. It feels so great as you are dancing to the beat of the bass as everyone around you is going crazy. Just writing about it fills me with the thrill of shuffling! That is why I love shuffling.

In shuffling people make shuffling groups. The main one in the Abq Right now is NOB. It stands for “Ninjas of Bass’’. I almost joined it but I heard they are really stuck-up so I’m not sure I want to. Anyways shuffling groups battle each other a lot in shuffle battles to see which team is better. They are just for fun usually, but a lot of shufflers get competitive about them. There have been battles a lot lately between shuffling and jerking, but in my opinion shuffling wins since jerking has no good beats to follow. Lmfao recently came out with a song called “ Party Rock Anthem’’ it hit the charts in the top 40. That song gave shuffling a lot of popularity even if their shuffling is a little off. Their song pretty much changed our nation. Shuffling wouldn’t be as known if it wasn’t for them. Another reason why shuffling has gotten so popular is because of Dj Blend he is probably one of the top Electro house dj’s out there. He is known for his crazy behavior, his weird masks he uses, and for his shuffling! He is one of my personal favorite artists.  As long as it has a good beat to the song and electronic sounds you can shuffle to it!

Shuffling as always had rivals. The top ones are “Tecktonik” ”and “jumpstyle’’. tecktonik is a totally different story. Its weird cause unlike jumpstyle or shuffling, you use your hands to dance instead of your feet. It plays to the same musical genre as shuffling and jumpstyle, just different tricks and body parts. They are haters though ha-ha and don’t know good music except for jumpstyle. I also do jumpstyle, I used to do jumpstyle a lot, but I started practicing shuffling and now I am better at shuffling. Still like to do jumpstyle, it’s a little more entertaining.  It’s kind of cool though because I’m in the middle between the two dances so I want to bring them together in New Mexico.

Jumpstyle was originally made in Belgium in April 27 1996. It wasn’t popular at first and it took a while to get noticed. It is a rave/electronic dance, and is mostly danced in Europe, specifically Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, Germany and northern France.  It started up in rave dance clubs. It started to become a little more popular when youtube started up in 2005. The legs are the most important part of the body in jumpstyle.  It is done by a series of forward and backward swings of the legs on the beat of the music. When it is being performed it is really energetic. It feels like you are getting a workout and dancing your legs out at the same time. I like jumpstyle because not many people do it in the United States of America and I’m one of the only few who do it in New Mexico. I taught my friend so me and him are trying to get it popular here in New Mexico. On every beat, the jumper jumps a little bit. More harder moves include those with turns, twists and such. Jumpstyle moves change, and the dance itself is generally improvised, using the moves learned. Some people say it looks like an old Irish dance because they bounce around so much… in my opinion I have to agree. I think it looks a lot cooler and more modern than an irish dance.

The styles of jumpstyle are:  Old Skool/Basis Jump, Sidejump, Hardjump, and freestyle. Old skool/Basis jump is the easiest part of jumpstyle to learn . It is most commonly introduced when a person first learns how to jumpstyle. Side jump and hard jump are about the same thing except Side jump has a different set of moves. Hardjump is a little harder than old skool/Basis jump, where you stomp on the ground instead of kicking in the air. All types of jumpstyle are amazing and should be learned! TekStyle - is very different from other types of JumpStyle. Dancing on the music Tekstyle-JumpStyle . Basically, the dance is that dancers often use broken movement and may deal with the hands of their feet. There is also Starstyle - very closely related to TekStyle, but movements in the dance more smoothly. The next couple of styles are done in groups… DuoJump - Any form of JumpStyle could dance in pairs of two, so you need to agree in advance the number of movements that you will use, and use them with your partner simultaneously. TrioJump –uses the same rules as in Duojump, but for  three jumpers. GroupJump - In GroupJump a group of jumpers dance at the same time and same moves at the same time. Which is achieved through long-term training, and performed usually with a group of more than 4 people. Those are the main styles of jumpstyle!

Jumpstyle vs. shuffle… I’m going to hand it to jumpstyle mainly because it is more fun to do. I’m not saying I don’t like shuffling. I love to shuffle and I will any day or just to impress people. If I’m home alone I will jumpstyle my heart out and be like Patrick jumpen a jumpstyle pro, as I call him haha. My brother even use to make fun of me when I first started because it looked funny but when I mastered it he started to respect jumpstyle. These are my opinions on shuffling and jumpstyle… hope you enjoyed!
