Learnding

As much as I like to bitch about school and midterms and all sorts, I have always had a hunger for learning new things, and when I feel like I’ve not learned anything new for a while, I get kinda antsy.

No matter what it is, every few months or so I feel the need to learn a new... thing... something... anything. In the past few years it’s been Italian, line-dancing, swing dancing, Tap dancing, trapeze, hot yoga, Thai cooking, Italian cooking, Indian cooking, Non-profit management... the list goes on. Most often it’s something I’ve always thought would be interesting, but never got off my ass to do it... such is the case with my latest idea.

Last week I was chatting with Pinky (not to be confused with Her Royal Pinkness - 2 very different people) a co-worker at the salon I just started at (see GregMay in my links). I asked her if she would be interested in heading to trapeze class with me one night, and she said, “Sure. I do Poi, so why not?

What the hell is Poi?

Upon further investigation, I learned what Poi was and, well, I’ve been kinda crazy about the idea ever since. When I first saw this technique during my last Madonna concert, I couldn’t help but think how fun it looked, and how amazing it would be to perform.

The skill...

The mindfulness...

The calm...

THE FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



So, we’re working on plans. Pinky's gonna teach me some basics and then we’ll head to classes together every few weeks or so. I’m not planning on becoming an expert or a master, but I’m definitely gonna have a lot of fun trying.

Hmmmm... Maybe I won’t wear polyester on my class nights.
