Day 24. I played till my finger bled

Yeah that's right
one finger
not because of lack of passion
boy there was
just thta i was a klutz and i always nick my index finger on the drum screw
wonder if i'll die of tetanus poisoning
it would be quite epic

'how did coelho die?'
'he died doing what he loved most. Capoeira. well not really, but close enough'
because today we played SAMBA

a quick run through rehearsal went well
followed by a simple but terse reminder to the 'christiano ronaldo' and 'wayne rooney' of our performance troupe to remain focused
yeah i understand why there's still a place for 'ryan giggs' and 'paul scholes' now
to those who're reading
you know who you are, punk asses!

First round of samba
rafa muffed some of the intros
half of the troupe couldn't hear the other
but played on we did
you gotta take a bit of pride in the professionalism we displayed

second round of samba
superb
i love the enclosed acoustics
we played very well
and it was a nice impromptu touch that perereka and malcolm broke into a simple jogo
followed by peri and rafa doing solos to ongoing samba
not bad not bad

i'm feeling a bit pudgy
i'm not sure if i look it
i think i do
quek always insists it's 'ok wat...'
but i think he's just being polite
i blame 25% on his schedule, 25% on work, and 25% on domestication and 25% on the weather
it's gotta get better sooner or later!
well at least i dream of capoeira
that counts for training in some form i guess

will try to park it tomorrow, heaven willing.
