Swagger It Out!!!!!

Hey everyone…Its been a while since the last blog, well thats because nothing was moving for the past couple days so I thought I’d wait till I got a hit ya know?

So thats what I got, today. A nice hit. Probably a ground rule double but ay its better than nothing.

First off, I’d like to say I feel really bad about not being able to organize this Swagger Dance Off faster than I want it to be but like all great things, it takes time and well I am asking that you all stay patient with me and not always ask about whats going on only to question the blogs I make!

But ok down to business, I finally got to talk to Miss Hadley today, yes FINALLY…and well we talked about how Swagger can either have to rent out the auditorium, meaning I’d have to pay, or we can become a club to which then I wouldn’t have to pay to rent the auditorium. So I opted for the club which I came up with having a combo club of Swagger and the Step Team, that way I gain the needed sponsors and not have to go get anybody else and Miss Hadley can help me along the way. Only problem is she wants to get approval from the rest of the Step Team before she agrees to that, thankfully I’m all good friends with the majority and I know they’ll have no problem agreeing as well.

So I asked her if I could start the Swagger Dance Off next friday, the 30th and she declined it saying she wants to wait until her girls basketball season is over, I think this or next week is the last week so it should be soon.

Anyways, thats the update for now…a little closer to Swagger but still far away…I don’t want you all to give out on me yet, I’m workin as hard as possible right now for it bothering teachers and everyone I know to help me with this to get it moving FASTER!

Please just stick with me, don’t think I’m fucking around and not trying to get things done, really I’m trying real hard right now and if you all want to help me please then email Miss Hadley and Mr. Wooten and quite possible Mr. Wilder if you all are bold enough tell her how much you all want to get this going like me and how it would benefit you all and the school:

hadleyt@manateeschools.net

wootenk@manateeschools.net

wilderm@manateeschools.net

of course keep it clean if you all decide to help out and email them!!! BECAUSE YOU WILL BE REPRESENTING SWAGGER AND SWAGGER WILL NOT BE GOING TO HAVE A BAD NAME BECAUSE OF YOUR DUMBASS ACTIONS!!!

But my next meeting will be monday again with Miss Hadley to see if the step team has approved the combo club of Swagger.

So like the title says, Swagger is getting closer and closer to the dreams. Its a slow run but dammit its going to be worth everything once we premiere.

So last week, as you all know I sat down with Mr. Wilder and he liked the presentation and all and had me show it, I just gave the presentation, to Miss Hadley (sponsor of the step team) and well…she is taking forever with it. Not to be mean or anything but I was kinda hoping on her giving me an answer before I went on break for this weekend. But as I said before, this is a slow process.

It seems that Miss Hadley is thinking of ways to integrate the step team and that kinda irritates me, in a way that I feel Swagger is being pushed upon.

I know I’m not the only one who feels this way so I’m not worried of it ever happening, so when I did talk to Miss Hadley on thursday I told her they can perform at the dance off as like an opening act. To which I also told myself that I had already put in mind who I want performing to which that will stay classified till it is performed.

oh don’t get me wrong, the step team can perform, they just won’t perform on the opening night of Swagger. They can perform along the way when I have my special Swagger nights.

And besides, Swagger is mine in the long run, so its what I say goes.

So I know you all want to hear and save the date of when Swagger is going to premiere and you will hopefully find out after school next tuesday.

So until then keep ya spirits high and just be patient with me, we’re almost there!

oh and to all you haters out there who been hatin on Swagger and sayin how its not gonna be as big as I think it is…I want to say thank you…I love yall haters…cause when it premieres and I say yall wanting to get in…I’m a be like NO

but still keep hatin aight?

Aight guys, so listen up or rather just read whats up.

I did what I told you I would do and I talked to Mr. Wilder, basically went through the powerpoint with him and well he…

he absolutely loved it, he liked the idea of having it being clean and basically taking kids off the streets and having them come closer through hip hop freestyle dancing.

So in otherwords, I am bringing everyone closer and getting them to practice and then performing instead of getting involved with drugs and such.

So he hasn’t fully given me his approval yet because he told me I have to now, yes NOW go talk to miss Hadley since she is a sponsor of the Lakewood Step Team.

SIGH!!!!!!!!!!

I know right? every step I take I have to take 2 steps back!

But whatever, I’m getting more and more excited (no homo) every time I talk to someone about it and they push me in a new direction.

And yet, I’m getting more and more anxious every time too!

But thats it for today and tomorrow I hope I will have the date set for the first premiere!

ok, so I was thinking cause I’m always having Swagger on my mind 24/7. Its life for me right now!

But nah I was thinking bout which, if any, where going to be repping at the Swagger contest. I know that there are, so far, 2 crews repping but like I said, I’m looking for a much bigger turnout of crews to come together.

Now, in light of things I know that the Solo and Cavity Kids crews will be there coming from Spring Hill, Florida. Which is good I’m liking that they are repping and I have heard of a crew up in St. Pete called the Munky crew. Now from what I hear they are break dancers. Wouldn’t mind getting some break dancers up in the building as well.

So here’s my request for the new week, as I promise to find out whether or not Mr. Wilder approves the Swagger It Out competition and lets me hold it in the auditorium, promise me that you all will go out and find out if the Munky Crew is willing to represent themselves at the premiere of Swagger. I will accept only 2 crews this time but I am looking for at least 3 so please someone let them get in touch with me!

aight guys, I’m going gonna get ready for tomorrow and hope and pray that Wilder approves Swagger!

Listen up all dancers and Swagger enthusiasts:

I need you all to come up with some good ass hip hop songs that can be danced to and you all like.

So please send in your requests and I’ll take a listen to them. I need a good playlist for all you dancers because I have a little twist to the cometition that I think will make it worthwhile.

Other than that I am still waiting on a decision from Mr. Wilder, seems like he is too busy to make his decision or even look over my request.

But stay patient with me and I will deliver beyond your expectations! But yea, I’ll probably and hopefully find out Monday, January 12. I will make sure, screw probably and hopefully, I’m a find out Monday. Just seems like its taking so damn long!

Other than that I know my projection date but I don’t know if its going to happen since it has taken over 1 damn week to just get the principal to check out my presentation, but who knows I’m still going to push harder and try to get it to that date.

So until Monday, peace

>Swagger<

well like the title says, I can’t meaning I can’t control anything now. Swagger has now been put into the hands of Mr. Wilder and I am impatiently waiting, yes very impatient here, for him to approve or deny my requests of holding the dance competition at school. So I can’t do anything, I’ve probably not done as much as I could probably do but I’ve enough to get me to Mr. Wilder to review it. And apparently Mr. Wooten won’t be able to sponsor Swagger since he’s already doing the step dance team. Guess I gotta find other teachers…I will though, just I want Mr. Wilder to review it already and approve it!!!

MR. WILDER PLEASE APPROVE THIS, I WANT MY DREAM TO COME ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright guys, I know how much you been looking forward to seeing what news I have to share with you all, well here it is!

First things off, I’d like to say this is REAL, I’m not fucking with anybody or making this up. I REALLY WANT A DANCE COMPETITION!!! A weekly dance competition. Alright so now that we’re all clear that I’m for reals, serious and everything else lets get to the good stuff!

So I got to school today totally didn’t even meet with Mr. Wooten like I wanted to but I did make progress.

Progress + Me = Swagger at LRHS

Anyways, I talked to Dr. Zellers aka DZ aka Dr. Z and I told him about how I want a weekly dance competition and I showed him the powerpoint presentation that I made. I believe he said I worked very hard on it and that it is paying off and he is going to have Mr. Wilder look at it. Wilder for all you know is the Principal at Lakewood Ranch High School, him and I have a little history with each other but I hope he looks past that and sees this great opportunity that I am presenting to him.

If he denies it, I will still have a dance competition in another location other than Lakewood. Mark my words I will start this by the end of January if it kills me!

Well, I’m hoping Mr. Wilder approves and I can move on to getting my needed sponsors, probably Mr. Wooten and the dance sponsor Mrs. Kahle and I think Dr. Z is down with it too!

So I’m moving Swagger closer to its first ever premiere lets not think that I’m just sitting around at school, I’m not, I’m getting this going as soon as possible, I know you all out there have been emailing the Swagger myspace asking when its going to be and where its going to be held at and I know I tell you I don’t know yet but I’m REALLY TRYING so please have patience and let me work this, ok?

I do not disappoint, thats not me, not my swagger so just give me the time and forget that we had 2 weeks off cause I couldn’t do anything with the admins over break. But just leave it to me, I hope to have all this figured in 2 weeks. I will make up for the time it is taking to get this started, I guarantee you’ll like what I have in store.

Aight guys, I’m out for the night if you have any, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR CONCERNS PLEASE MESSAGE THE SWAGGER MYSPACE. I WILL ANSWER ALL IN A TIMELY MANNER.

>Swagger<

So its Sunday morning, can’t sleep so I thought I’ll write. Its funny though, this will happen the week before Swagger and the night before Swagger. I can’t wait for this to happen, I’ve been waiting for over 2 months and finally results will be seen in mid-January. I guess my dreams are becoming a reality not that my past dreams never came alive, its just this one is happening so fast everything is moving slow. Unfortunately for me, my patience isn’t high for these kinds of things…but whatever…it’s coming and when it does it’ll be worth it, not only for me, but for you all because its all bout you all, the dancers and the judges and the audience. I hope you all enjoy it when it happens…

sitting, pondering

all things wondering

in here waiting

there is no escaping

what lies in here awaiting

is for you aboding

stay for the showing

can’t stand the fooling

where are my eyes turning

straight ahead never backwording

midnight is a coming

I might as well just go diving

like a scuba treasure hunting

what am I finding

I’ll let ya know when I’m soaring…

I wrote this a few days ago…see if you get the hidden message…probably won’t, unless you dig deep and read again and again…

Why is it shit happens

I record it with my pad and pen

Just me in this world a lend

I mean alone try it once

That’s what I say just a bunch

Of loaners me no say no

Gotta move through worlds

Movin slow can’t speed through both

Ever so slow keep me keen like woah

Sometimes feelin caught

Unlike those who are bought into

Like those bought to it

More like those who own are to sit

Hold up you’ll get it but I will get fit

Listen when I speak facts not fake

Never ever will I deliever these rates

Of being fake me alone being taint

Get it reality of me is opposite of you

Similar to that who does exist

It’s that who does an inhibit

Get it for real speak I admit it

I falter I stumble but never fall

So when you do I’ll submit

But for me to fall I’ll die for all

Reality says to watch steps

For you, missed ya chance to follow scripts

Listen through life, ya travel through time

Maybe it’s time to put down ya coconut and lime

Time to get out of line

To which everyone follows live

Got it? Don’t follow their sly

Wipe away that sty

For reals I’m not shy

To say outloud all could die

So soon I’m not gonna lie

Opposite of truth that I should fly

Get it one day you won’t sigh

Me, I sigh unlike eye sight

Forget it I’m through on this fight

Fuck it I’ll leave it to you and this stride
