Mixed Bag
	1.27.04 So, I was reading CNN.com the other day and I came across this story about break dancers performing for the Pope.  He enjoyed the performance and blessed them in their artistic activity.  There are so many comments I have for this, but I keep coming back to one: people still break dance?  I remember when the break dancing trend was popular in the United States, hell, Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo were two of my favorite movies.  But that was back in 1985 or something.  I was under the assumption that the days of throwing cardboard down on the sidewalk in order to do a headspin were over.  How terribly wrong I was.  Break dancing is apparently still so popular that the Pope has given it his blessing.  I guess I shouldn't be suprised, break dancing battles solved a lot of disputes between gang members back in the day.  At least that's what t.v. and movies taught me.                                                                                                               ******* My #2 favorite personal story involving break dancing: when I was in college my friends used to prank each other by printing off humorous flyers and posting them all over campus.  During my Freshman year a flyer was made that said: "Interested in Breakdancing?" and had a picture of our friend Clif [skinny white guy] and his phone number at the bottom.                                                                                                                 ***** My #1 favorite personal story involving break dancing: when I lived in Virginia, Drew and I used to go to a bar that doubled as a Chinese restaurant during the day (yes, the city we lived in was a strange place).  Anyway, at night it was a pretty cool bar that we went to fairly regularly for a while.  One night, we were in the bar with a couple of other friends and Drew was approached by a drunk local who said that Drew looked familiar.  Without missing a beat Drew responded: "Are you into break dancing?  I was the New York City break dancing champion in 1996."  The guy just walked away, looking confused.                                                                                                                    *** They have concluded the Martha Stewart jury selection and opening statements are today.  The prosecution would be well served to play a couple episodes of her t.v. show to the jury and then rest its case.  No reasonable jury would find her innocent after being subjected to that bitch's crap for a couple hours.                                                                                                                      * I was going to write something about this story I read, but I forgot what it was about.
