FREE KITTENS!!!!

Nomadia — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 01:47:37 GMT

I have two kittens ready for homes...they are eating on their own. One's a boy, the 'wild one' of course, the other a female, docile and not very rambunctious, quiet. Mama was a great mama and took care of her babies. These were the only two that survived out of the five that she had. I would like to see them go to a good home. Thanks! the one pictured is the female. pm me and i can send other pics of the female if u r interested.

Workshops and My dance world

Nomadia — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 16:01:24 GMT

Finally! Im finally going to a workshop I said I was going to go to! I'm excited for this one =) Olivia K of Zafira Dance Co in Philly...AND the wonderful Mychele from the East Coast =) Mychele does henna, something I've been attempting myself...and according to everyone around me...i'm pretty damn good. *shines*, Mychele is doing a henna class Friday night,...so I can get better =) Olivia will be teaching some layers and some Saucy moves =) I'm really excited. I missed 3rd C, they were both there, so I get a chance to catch up a lil' bit. I'm DEFINITELY going next year. Maybe TribalCon...but ATL will be harder to pull off... SO I will need more to teach my students and hopefully this will help! I went to see Nah'na's Dark Fusion show last Tuesday. THAT was a pretty frappin' cool show! All but 2 were improve performances =) which is awesome. It's always fun when you get to go up at the end of the show and dance with the loverly ladies. Jessie always inspires me to keep dancing...maybe because her first inspiration was mine as well...MZ RB! ;) I rally enjoyed Obsidias performance as well when she was here for the Marie Antoinette spin with Nah'Na. Nah'na just has squeezable written all over them...*wish they'd teach some classes already* I wanna learn the Kitten pig routine with Luna and Jessie! That's just flippin' awesome =) and I wanna learn from mz Yet...shes so...jazzy?? LOL shes adorable... Okay, I will stop...for now *evil grin* Life at home has been crazy and hectic...it seems that my dance world is totally separate from everything else. I really dont think anyone but other dancers will understand that. and thats......O.K.!! Namaste

I popped my performance cheerie!

Nomadia — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 14:29:04 GMT

It was a Tuesday night on December 4th @ Not Your Mama's Hafla!!!! @ Avant Garden in Montrose..Thanks to Mz Nari...she asked me about 2 mths ago to come out and dance with nah'na..but I just didn't feel ready..so i said next time..well that next time came! she put out a call for dancers and I said..OKAY!!! This time I felt ready. I was nervous..but not as nervous as I usually get going out in front of a large crowd. My dance sistah, Tita, joined me as well. She's a veteran of the whole dancing in crowd thing..so she was like YOU WILL BE OKAY! and Nari was like YOU WILL DO FABULOUS! Angela, of Tribal Lillie's, and a cool gal, was encouraging me too...and giving me pointers on performing for the first time...the Tribal Lillie's were very encouraging...and gave many zaghareets =D *YIP* I really owe a lot to Tita tho..she was my latin instructor and she is a wonderful teacher! She always encouraged me and has really always been honest with me in my technique and performances...she gives great advice and I don't know what I would do without here! You shoulda seen HER solo! It was rawkin!! ;) I had soooo much fun and really enjoyed myself..and loved being back stage instead of in the audience....but I do love to watch my dance sisters dancing and get inspired by them too! Nari's solos were very awesome and I couldn't take my eyes off of her! She's an amazing dancer and very locky =D My love to Nari and Tita....Thank you ladies (and all you other wonderfully talented Bellah Dancah's!!) I was a lil' sad tho, that no one I invited came =( My husband was there, which is more than enough for me, because he never really enjoys these things and I felt like I had his support when he came =) Love you BABE! Namaste! *dances around in happiness*

Dance pants!

Nomadia — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 18:27:34 GMT

I have been KILLING my bank account with all the clothes I've been buying! Not nearly as much as how much I would spend at 3rd C..but near it, it seems. I've bot IDK how many melo's, belts, and tops...and i got some GM's coming too! I guess its good...if all goes well with my performance on Dec 4th..hopefully I will be dancing a lot more than that! ;) I didn't think I would be nervous about dancing..but it's starting to get to me...the anxiety....all the feelings...I will be fine...just gotta keep telling myself that! I've been practicing everynight..so that helps... I really need to introduce myself to yoga so I can get some flexibility and strength in me...maybe after that holidays... But what I can say is that since I've really focused in on my belly dancing...especially teaching my classes..I've never felt 'fuller' in life than I do when I'm dancing or teaching....its just so much fun and..i guess I have a passion. Namaste

The ever impressive layback with drop gasp

Nomadia — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 03:58:36 GMT

*****posted from myspace blog-got lazy. but the first part is the important part!!!!!!!!!!!!***** Alright, tonight was a night of good things. I was happy for a split second this lovely evening. Ya know why?! BECAUSE I DID MY FIRST 'TURKISH' DROP WITH A LAYBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been practicing FOREVER on this dag-gum position! It takes alot of work and ALOT of practice!!!! I was watching TV and out of the blue I told myself, in my mind, to do a layback and drop with it..haha..rock wit it...drop wit it..haha..(Jackie will only get that)...so I did. I was so shocked I didnt know what the frock to do! So I did it again! And succeeded! Granted it wasnt a very impressive layback with drop...but it was SMOOTH..and that my friends is what you want..a smooth drop..so that you just dont look like you are 'falling' to the ground! I did it like 4 more times and succeeded! I still need work..but I know now that I can do it! I really think its all this Tae-Bo I'm doing! I do know my quads will be so sore in the morning..so I'm prepairing for the worst. I definately have to wear a knee brace thos if I want to do these...it super sore! ON TOP of that, I've learned how to breath properly when jogging. Again, thanks to Tae-Bo! I have been asking everyone how do you breath and jog at the same time?! And NO ONE has offered up on how to train me! I love to jog..I just seem to run out of breath. I could never jog longer than like a second...so I timed myself and I jogged like 3 minutes...then my stamina gave way after Tae-Bo and doing my layback/drops all night! So another thing accomplished! Two in one night! Cant beat that?! Also, thinking about training for the MS bike ride from here to Austin next year. Jackie's idea and now that I am probably in the greatest shape of my life right now, I thot, why not?! I know hubby would love to do it. I'm going to WAIT to tell my mom, as she has MS and that I will be riding for her in the ride. She will be so happy! I will see her in July. So I think I can keep it a secret. I have 12 months. Let's do this Jackie!!!! I've also started my 'healthy' eating again. I ate like crap these past few weeks. I'm talking 3 meals a day with snacks inbetween..like BK and TBell and Wendy's. NO more of that nasty crap. Back to 2 healthy meals and small dinner for me..and gobs of WATER. And lots of fruit and veggies..cutting back on eating out too. I gained like 10 lbs...see what fast food will do to you!?! I have Jackies PAR-TAY this Saturday! Can't wait for that! We both need new 'clubin' outfits so we will hit Memorial Mall, grab some food somewhere (healthy of course ), then back to her place to change and get ready! She wants to do after hours too..we will see if we last THAT long! LOL. We are getting so old! LOL. Phew! I think that's about all... Oh yeah, my dog somehow 'broke' the tip of her tail. Poor thing can't curl her tail :( Honestly, I think someone slammed her tail in the door and they are not fessing up to it..and it wasnt me...hmmm....Im exhausted, but feel great about my accomplishments today. Yeah for me. Thanks for reading. Peace Out. Oh yeah. Ya know one of the best movies I've seen in a while is ...The Holiday. I forced Jackie to watch it with me...we kept looking at each other and just shaking our heads...lol ;) ~Crazy Beautiful~

hey

Nomadia — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 01:46:35 GMT

nothing interesting happening in my life to really rant about. i live a boring life. toodles. hopefully see some of ya'll this weekend!

I lost a great friend this weekend.

Nomadia — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 04:28:11 GMT

Tweety, a stray mutt, we took into our home was visciously and brutally killed by our neighbors pit bull and bull mastiff. I am not going to go into details, but they were released on her as she NEVER stepped foot on that property. She wasnt stupid. What makes matters worse is that she was thrown in a trash bag and discarded like trash in the vacant lot infront of us. It took my dog Charlie to find her. Bastards. No animal should have to go thru with what she did. The aftermath, was not pleasant and I only pray the owners get theirs...10 fold. as that is what is deserved. The purposefully released them on her and she was so innocent and kind. May you rest in peace girl and God lift you up and make you our angel. <3I love you<3

Randomness

Nomadia — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 06:29:48 GMT

Sitting alone, in the dark, i find myself drifting off into a serene world with bliss surrounding me. free to think, free to roam with the heard trapped no more in the chaos of my mind, of my thots of my life. wanting to reach the end i cant seem to find the path. held back by thoughts of judgement, of critic of loss of failure, drowning in a sea of empty thoughts. i dont want to be alone. but alas, i am.

::Just a thot:::

Nomadia — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 02:29:33 GMT

I'm going to make an effort to get out and be involved in the Dance commnunity more this year. I'm tired of not doing things for me. I want to find me this year. I hope I can. And I hope no one gets hurt....

::FREE PUPPIES::

Nomadia — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 04:40:36 GMT

Being the animal lover I am, I have taken in a strays 9 puppies. They are, from my research and comparison...have decided they are American Staffordshire Terrier mix...lab...the 'father' is a Border Collie/Lab mix and mom looks Amer. Staff. Terrier Lab mix herself. She is sweet as pie and I picked her up a day after labor and she didnt even growl. She is shy, but due to the neighbors, as they claim her to be theirs, continually beat her and tell her to get lost. Nice. So if you are interested please let me know! If you live in Dallas and want one..I will be coming up for 3rd Coast. We would have to meet tho before...but if you live in Houston...lemme know! They are all very quiet and affectionate and all around mellow. Mostly males with some females. There are twins too :) And they look like little Teddy Bears! AWE! FYI: They have been living in an abandoned house on the property next to us and didnt want anything bad to happen to them...or freeze when the weather gets colder! They will be ready in about a week...they are already eating canned puppy food with goats milk... Please Take One OR TWO! Namaste The pics will be in my album...this wont let me include a foto..

::Funny thing about going out dancing::

Nomadia — Sun, 03 Dec 2006 21:40:15 GMT

I went out Friday night with a friend. Went to at Latin club. I think that night I had more offers to dance then I have in recent outings. I think the main reason was the fact that no matter what song came on, I found myself bellydancing! I read about this on a thread somewhere too. I mean. I really didnt intend to bellydance..but its like..I've been practicing alot more than I have recently and Im pretty stoked about 3rd coast...so its on my mind :) I mean...the salsa and merengue songs that played I did dance appropriately..but anything else..lol..even techno..I was like bellydancing..it was crazy...then I realized that I had more advances to dance while doing so....hm..must be something about the dance I guess...It was funny....But I really dont care to go out anymore...guess Im growing out of it. My mother is still sick and I'm afraid she will be dependent on the vent for good now. Im so sad about this. I have to go see her now. *sigh* Im gunna go dance now...

::Thots for the Day::

Nomadia — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 05:37:01 GMT

As Christmas approaches I am torn between staying in TX and spending my holiday with my wonderful husband or going back home to visit my sick mother. She has MS on top of everything else in the book! I think if I stay here that will be the best present he could get. I havent been with him at Christmas the past 2 years. Terrible. I have been visiting family. I want him to go too..but we just have too many animals! I love animals. I have been a good girl and not eat like a cow this holiday either. Yeah me! I usually go overboard and pack on a few lbs..not this time! I'm pretty stoked about 3rd Coast. My first major workshope (tribal) since Veena and Neena back in 02ish. That was an awesome workshop...ate next to them too :) I bought a belt on ebay..from Gigi and havent received it yet. I hope it gets here soon! I miss it already! :) Its cold too btw...which is CRAZY for TX. I feel like Im back home in Nebraska :) Ciao Bellas! Shimmy On!

::3rd Coast or Homeless::

Nomadia — Sat, 11 Nov 2006 20:57:31 GMT

I've somehow managed to have a floating check out there for 3rd coast..Z informed of this..so I had to cancel it and send her a new one..nice. Only happens to me ya know. Really, I am much better than this. So now that I've got my debt paid for 3rd coast. I am in need of houseing. Hotels are expensive! Anyone want to host a few dancers? My partner (dance) and I will otherwise be homeless...We are neat and dont snore and will bring our sleeping bags! Will buy TP and whatever else we happen to use. And we wont raid ur fridge. Her and I actually got together last night and did about half of our choreog. we are trying to put together. We would like to perform in the show..but we wont be ready in time. She thot we were strickly doing ATS..but Im a tribal fusion girl so she was excited. Its a split for her down the middle for Cabaret and Tribal. I think thats why her and I get along so well :) Now we just need costumes. Can we pull it together in time? Thanks for listening girls. You keep me sane!

Okay, so my latin instructor may not be going with me...shes got tons of stuff going on...and no time and no funds....so is anyone going from Houston up there?

Nomadia — Sun, 14 May 2006 22:27:35 GMT

Well, I've sent in my down payment for 3rd Coast. Guess that means I really have to go huh? Now here is my deliema..since I've spent all my spending money on the classes I have no where to stay. I might stay in my car...but then there is the whole shower thing. I would hate to attend the workshops and perform...eeek...without a shower! I plan to do a duet with my Salsa instructor, Tita. We are working on something, but wont compare to what everyone else will be bringing to the table. But take it easy on us! Please!? I cant wait to take workshops from Liquid Hips, Sharon, n.o.madic, Urban Gypsy, Tempest! I cant wait! I'm so excited! Had to share my excitement! Ya hoo.

LOL Fatine, you were wonderful too! Kudos all around! Hm..kinda wished there was more spectators dancing tho! I will have to bring my spare hip scarfs next time and persued them to dance ;) Oh and the drum session was great! Made the night even more fun! Woohoo! Can, uh, ya tell I loved the show?

Teaching a Class

Nomadia — Fri, 25 Nov 2005 21:05:08 GMT

I've posted under Listings on certain tribes about me teaching a beginners beginning class to bellydance/Mid East. If you could all look..I think the main belly dance ones:ATS, Belly dance...most of them anyways..I have lots of questions so any advise would be greatly appreciated...or should I even teach a class? The class is aimed to those who have never taken a belly dance class so yeah thanks..!
