Take a look at this video about the 1993 Mouse Plague in Australia:
Now....two points:
Did you know that in China the same thing is happening now. But not only with mice. Now it's rats. They're eating up two thirds of their body weight a day of grain and other forms of food....even farm animals (if they can corner them).
Yeah, I know it's crazy. But it's true.
And what's not only true and crazy but maybe even scary is that this is one of the thing that Revelation (that's in the Bible...not a band's name :-) Jesus said this kind of thing would happen in the 'end times'. To see this kind of news happening today, for Christians, it's not surprising.
Here's my friend Frank Dimora with more insight into the matter:
Well, Jorge Elizando has done it again. Jorge's recent release of the new instructional DVD entitles, "Sensual Touch", An Exploration in Sensuality Through Lap Dance, Volune 1, featuring new lapdancing sensation Summer Sando, once again breaks new ground in the dance genre and goes further to bridge the gap between dancers and non-dancers than anything since Zumba.
Here's one of the promotional videos from YouTube:
What I want to know is actually three things:
First......who's that guy? Is it Summers boyfriend, brother or what?
Second........did they pay him to do that?
Third........is he smiling? I thought I detected a sly little grin a time or two.
Regardless, I don't know where Jorge got the idea for this type of DVD but I do know for a fact that there really isn't that much on the internet about lap dancing. I know because I Googled it. Here's a video of what I found:
I also discovered that there is a Lap Dancer's association. Here's a link to their site:
One reason I think this is a unique product is not only because it's the first to teach female members of the dance community how to lap dance but it's also totally appropriate for non-dancers. It's not about dancing like.....salsa, bachata, tango, etc. I'd say it's more along the lines of 'How to win friends and influence people.'
This product actually reaches out to all the ladies (dancers or not) and says......
"This instructional DVD is designed specifically for the lady who wishes to explore a new sense of sensuality in the comfort of her own home. Whether your intention is to discover your own freedom in movement, self awareness, body appreciation and empowerment or to develop your sexy side to share with an intimate partner, this DVD is for you! Let Summer Sando guide you in this celebration of yourself, movement and touch."
Personally I don't know that women who look like Summer need any more 'empowerment'. I'd say they've got all the power they need. But it seems like women always want 'more' power, doesn't it?
No, I don't have the DVD myself. I really don't have the body for it. But I think it'll be popular. If the little snippit I saw on the promotional video is any indication, Summer really 'breaks it down' very well. I especially thought the part about the nails along the thigh sounded nice.
I wonder if anybody will ever come up with equivalent for a man to do to a woman? What would you call that.....'Man's Lap Dancing'.
I don't have any doubt that Jorge has at least a Volume II at least in the planning stages. I can see where this product could have a very long run. I guess you'd say that in this case the girl is dancing 'lead' right? Except that I wouldn't say that, as in regular dancing...."the guy is the frame and the girl is the picture."
In this case I'd say the girl is both frame and picture. Watching her work on that guy in the chair kinda reminded me of the old WWII movies where the Gestapo has the captured American flyer in a chair and they say, "Ahhhhh...so you won't talk, eh........Veellllll. Vee have vwez of making you dtok you know. Don't make me haf to bring in de 'lap dancer'!"
In this case though, I noticed he didn't mind scooting his chair around for some more torture :-)
I wonder what a 'casino de lap-dance' would look like.
Anyway....another ground breaking and paradign expanding product from Jorge Elizando. He's got several more new products lately including:
Intermediate/Advanced Club Styel Turn Patterns, Bacha Tango (featuring Pablo Vilches), and Dominican Style Bachata. I'm looking at BachaTango and Dominican Style Bachata right now and they're both very good.
Also, for those of you in the US, you'll be pleased to know that Jorge is doing another big Bachata event in Dallas. The last one was a tremendous success and I'm sure this one will be even better. I'd highly recommend it if you can make it. I wish I could but I can't.
I just did a post about Jorge Elizando's interesting and ground-breaking new DVD, "Sensual Touch, An Exploration inn Sensuality Through Lap Dance, Vol 1," featuring Summer Sando. But I pushed the wrong button and lost it.
I'll do it again. Meanwhile..........
It was interesting to me to see this article saying that in a recent readers poll, Travel + Leisure Magazine named Bangkok, Thailand their "Top City" award of places to visit. And Chieng Mai, Thailand's second largest city up in the northwest part of the country, was named #2.
I thought it was interesting because Thailand is one place I probably could go if and when I leave S.Korea.
I realize some readers might think I've been eating some 'funny mushrooms' or something...after that previous post. But actually, like I said, I'm still the same lovable guy....
I just started a book that sounds like it's gonna be really good. It's a sci-fi action novel called by John Scalzi called "Old Man's War".
I've just read the first chapter but I think the writing is exceptional. Here it is:
I don't mind saying that I'm a Christian. Some people might call me a kook but that's OK. I'm a 'player' and time will tell who wins in the end. I realize some people differ from my beliefs but I think that's their privilege. They've got their rights and I've got mine.
But just in case you've kinda 'on the edge' about some of this End Time and Rapture stuff, lemma ask you a question?
Can you add 2 + 2?
Check out this very interesting article. And especially the picture on the gal riding the bull down near the bottom. Just click on the text. It's an HTML extract from the page I got it from. It'll take you to the full article and you can see a few other interesting pictures there too.
Compare that...something actually happening today....with what the Bible says....written about 4,000 years ago. Coincidence?
Now, you might be saying, "Art! What the hell's gotten into you!!??"
Well....nothing that hadn't been there all along, really. I'm still the same lovable WanderingSalsero.
I've always been interested in End Times Prophecy but I haven't really had any place to get much information about it since I used to attend church regularly when I lived down in Galveston. And the other reason I haven't talked much about this in the past was simply because I wasn't seeing this amazing chain of events that I've been seeing the last year or so.
The Bible says that all these things will happen very suddenly and will catch people, people who aren't educated or concerned about it or aware of it, it'll catch them by surprise. Things are sure looking mighty ominous now, right?
I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that I recently met a guy named Frank Dimora. He's actually a minister and he lives in the US somewhere.....I don't remember where. I've chatted with him several times online and he's a nice guy. And he really knows his Bible....especially as relates to End Time events.
His website, very informative, is here. I'd highly recommend it. Download his book on all this stuff for free.
Something else that I thought was extremely interesting was that it just occurred to me tonight, after hearing his teaching from the following video (and several others associated with it) to do a Google search for the image of that woman riding the bull that he refers to.
In the process of doing something else, I found this Youtube video about cha-cha. I realized while looking at it they they weren't using the timing that I learned back in Houston. I'll always remember the night at one of the social dances at SSQQ when I asked Jill, one of the nicest and coolest instructors there, to dance a cha-cha with me.
I was very surprised when she told me that she couldn't because I was doing it 'on1' whereas she was accustomed to doing it 'on2' (at least that's the way I'd explain it). It wasn't till a little later that I realized what she meant and since then I've been doing it 'on2'.
But I noticed on this video that this couple, who are obviously 'professional' types, are doing it 'on1'. So my question is, "Which way is correct?"
Or is it a case of one style being 'club style' or perhaps 'traditional' and the other style being 'professional' or 'competitive' style?
I'd appreciate somebody's insight into that matter. Here's the video I saw:
This isn't an issue I follow closely but I do realize it's serious. I seem to remember it was sorta a topic of discussion not too longer ago but you hardly hear much about it lately, do you?
I don't see how anybody could look at conclusive evidence like this and begrudge those good people in Arizona (or anywhere else with a similar problem) from trying to protect their communities like they are.
I darn sure know I wouldn't want to live in this are right now. It's just not safe.
Such a shame too because it's such a beautiful area. And we let foreigners take it from us and we let our own government 'servants' sit on their ass and do nothing about it and tell us we can't do the job ourselves.
