Candy

Candy and Jazz….A few of my favorite things

I never got the routines right at Weddings, mainly because I never really practiced.

Why do we assume we will get things right without some preparation and practice. When I look back at my successes it’s only been
because I routinely practiced, rehearsed and practiced again and again the actual event whether it be an exam, driving or whatever.

My biggest failures have been because of no prep, no practice, and zero readiness. Of course, you can’t be ready all the time but here are some prep moves for Candy by Cameo.

step right, step right
step left, step left
step back, step back
lean forward then back

twist to the left - I usually mess up here

step right, step right
step left, step left
step back, step back
lean forward then back
twist to the left

...and repeat

Yes, you are now into the groove.

Practice, practice, practice then look cool at your friend’s house party or bashment.

The biggest problem is space….but if you practiced you would know that.

Man down

Plenty of uncertainty in my life over the next 4 weeks so I’ve opted for the unthinkable, PS4 decommissioning.

Parting from my PS4 is such sweet sorry

Yes, no games for the foreseeable future, well at least until I know where I will be sleeping.

I’ll probably be watching lots of Twitch.TV and thankfully Netflix now has a download offline option.

An old source fronted me some money via a proxy to get me out of this jam that I didn’t even cause.  Unfortunately, I don’t have the time or luxury to contemplate the major repercussions from taking the money.

This is just one of those things I’ll be pondering on my death bed staring up at the ceiling waiting for Jesus to take me. And believe me when I say, I’ve looked straight into the eyes of two dying husbands on separate occasions and the same look of regret haunts me till today.

So while I can still care for myself………

Bringing Goodness

Some people just bring goodness into your day without actually doing much.

I smiled yesterday from the heart.

Nothing but Happy feelings as Randy Crawford’s  1981 track  “You bring the Sun out” resonated throughout my head.

You bring the stars out
To light the night up
To make the darkness go away

Thanks for yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Stick by me and I’ll Stick by you

Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner

The 4-player Co-op mode is now a stable and popular gameplay mode. Many games offer this option to enrich the experience.

Helldivers™ and the upcoming Ghost Recon are great titles for co-op.

When you attack in full force with real-time audio it’s like you’re in the same room, and if things are right you are neurologically connected.

I’m struggling to get this blend in “Real” life as I trip through a Cashless, Contactless, Wireless, Faceless, Cloud-enabled existence searching for the Human factor.

But over the past few days, I broke the cycle.

That repetitive, predictable, soulless drudge that was crippling my limbic system evaporated and revealed a new connection. The very thing I was searching for was found in London’s Savoy.

Endlessly

“Flower” A Rare treat on PS4

I was 13 years old when Randy Crawford dropped the track “Endlessly”, I had enough pocket money to buy the Album 3 year later. To this very day, the lyrics echo the perfect Love song from a woman to a man.

What is “Rare Grove” today?

Chances are you can find it on all the popular streaming services, there is not even the need to own it anymore.

I still have a load of sealed Vinyl records in my garage but keep my 80’s Typewriter close to my gadgets.

In this cashless, always connected world keeping our “Rare” stuff offline and unavailability to SmartPhones is an admirable goal.

See me after Class for some authentic Rare Groove experiences.
