#1 WAY TO PISS ME OFF
Friday. 3.19.10 12:52 am
So, my peeps Saltare went home tonight on America's Best Dance Crew...it was a good run. Reading what some people wrote on the crew's wall is incredible. There were people who cried when they left, people who aren't even connected to the jump rope community...you guys might call it crazy, but I call it crazy awesome. I wish you knew what it felt like to be in my shoes. As jump ropers we've worked for so many years working, travelling, competing, and perfecting a sport without anybody noticing. All of our toils were basically invisible. And to see that work finally come onto the national stage, and to see people get emotionally attached to that....wow. Just, wow.

And I'll admit, I lost some enthusiasm along the way. Their performances got less and less exciting as the weeks went by, they had their slip ups, and I let my support waver. But that was fucking stupid....I let all the haters get to me.

---EDIT---
I had a huge flame post...but I've decided that it was a little bit excessive. Anger is a stupid, fleeting emotion and a huge waste of time.

--EDIT---
So I've cooled my head and sent this feller [source of anger] a nice message on the Facebook. MUCH more diplomatic. You should've read my original post hehe...not the best idea to send.

The farewell performance...

Do not try to bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead, try to realize the truth. There is no spoon. Then you will see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

I was watching ABDC on MTV3 with my sister earlier this afternoon.
Saltare did great in the Lady Gaga challenge, but besides that performance, most of their stuff seemed to me more of a jump rope routine than a dance routine. Granted, I've only see them perform a couple times on the show (that is, in the two hours I watched today) and I don't know a whole lot about dance crews let alone competitive jump roping, I just didn't feel the dance in their routines.
And, after all, it is TV, super critical for all dancing styles (I mean seriously, JC...), and MTV. Anything hosted by Mario Lopez cannot be taken too seriously, in my honest opinion.

And/or America doesn't know what it wants.

/end late ramblings

i don't think hatred is a wasted emotion, but it's not good to really let it get to you.

i will have to watch this vid when i get home... as i didn't catch it on television.

I feel like I was about to be told some big secret and then nothing happened. D:

Saltare sucks, boo!
Seriously, people who want to model the dance routines after Lady Gaga shouldn't be allowed to decide who stays and who goes. People are dumb.

Though I admit the mistakes were disappointing.

They really went out with a bang, though, that's one thing you can say for sure.

People are always going to have split opinions on things made public--that's the risk you take when you put something relatively new out there. And so the rude, hateful comments come with the territory. I'm not saying it's acceptable, but it's...normal (which is sad).

i agree with random
I felt like that last routine (if that's the vid you provided) wasn't that much of a bang. Muffy could do better. =)
