I truly hope She got homies looking out for her.
Coz Negroes will go out of their ways to diminish a Black woman's skills. Because what are They if They don't find a way to feel superior to someone.

Night 3
Didn't make it through but one post last night. Haven't been sleeping well lately, and I was tuckered out from work and seeing Hunger Games. It was excellent.
I found this video that I totally forgot about - it's hardly ever that I hoop to music outside of electronica/dubstep/hip hop/mash-ups. But this one with Death Cab struck me for some reason. Maybe I was finally starting to win myself over and grow a little confidence. Slower music (or, occasionally, no music) is good for me because it makes me slow down and focus on my hoop and the space around me. The Avett Brothers and Death Cab are big favorites...

If you're just tuning in
Welcome to night two of my re-living and recording of my hoop journey.
I used to be unable to watch these early videos - I was so terrible, and I knew it. I had no confidence in my moves, flow, or rhythm. This shows, easily, in a hooper. We must control, manipulate our objects - and maybe let them control and manipulate us, too.
Here's me practicing behind-the-back elbow passes - https://vimeo.com/39091221 - this hoop was a little heavy to be using to learn this trick, but it also has a slower rotation, so that was my reason for choosing it, I think. I think it's neat how I can see my development with this trick throughout the whole two minutes - somany drops, but towards the end I'm certainly getting it.
Oh yeah - this one was filmed in July of '11. And I'm shoulder hooping in it, and I feel like shoulder hooping took me for god damn ever to get down. But, it was probably really only a few days.
