So damn true♥
Ever. :-( Ever, ever. Like never ever. Ever, ever? Like ever ever? No, never.
Hence, I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight

and good morning all.
My hero. I swear he spoke shit soooooo before everyone caught on, which was why he was labeled a militant, extremist, etc. This is just sooo real.
I bet this time of night you’re still up, and
I bet you’re tired from a long hard week.
I bet you’re sitting on your bed by that window
Looking out at the city
And I bet sometimes you wonder about me.
And I just want to tell you
It takes everything in me not to call you.
And I wish I could run to you,
And I hope you know that every time I don’t
I almost do…
I almost do.

Working on Handstands? Want to build more strength WHILE being upside-down? (Any chance to do more things upside down right?)
Build strength with Shoulder Taps! Walking your handstand as close up, facing in, against the wall and shift your weight on to one hand at a time, keeping shoulders over elbows over wrists and lift the opposite hand to tap your shoulders and repeat back and forth for a few sets of 10 or 16.
Remeber to keep checking in with your handstand alignment, just like normal handstand. Shoulders, elbows stack over wrists. Triceps spin towards the back of the room, widening the collarbones, shoulders into their sockets, biceps turned on. Core lifting, belly button to spine, hips over shoulders… well I could go on forever on alignment cues. If you want more you’ll just have to come to my classes :)
Have to give some credit to my coaches at Crossfit Belltown for helping me with these! Crossfit & Yoga are a great combo - now have at it yogis!
What’s wrong with you? I asked myself. You are a happy person. You are an upbeat sort of person. Men smile at you on the subway, women ask you what shampoo you use. Cheer up for Christ’s sake, I told myself, relax, you’re fine, be happy, Girl. When I talk to myself I call myself Girl.

I think I’ll go get some of this from Toyo since I have the day off. Weeee.
It was snowing and you were kind of beautiful
We were in the city and every time I looked up
Someone was leaning out a window, staring at me
I could tell you liked me a lot or maybe even loved me
But you kept walking at this strange speed
You kept going in angles and it was confusing me
I think maybe you were thinking that you’d make me disappear
By walking at strange speeds and in a strange, curvy way
But how would that cause me to vanish from the planet Earth?
And that hurts
Why did you want me gone? That hurts
Why?
Why?
I don’t know
Some things can’t be explained, I guess
The sky, for example, was green that night
