Ask and the universe will answer and sometimes the walls too.

Coincidence,fate, karma who knows? but one thing is for sure;


.... one day you might (mistakenly )decide to cheat at Parkour...e.g avoiding a slide monkey on your left because you only like your right and the next day's training will always, eggs as eggs, so frickin certain its spooky, bring that missing lefthanded slide monkey right back to you only this time in a way that means avoidance is not an option. (I write 'slide monkey' tentatively as I thought it was called 'sly monkey' for a good 3months or so....which personally I like better alongside other potential names like 'tricky monkey', 'creepy monkey', 'slippy monkey', 'huggy monkey' although I know it won't catch on). It's almost as if the walls are saying to you...."nice try...but your not going to get out of it that easily". And thats not the only thing they say....oh yes....it seems once you start naming walls, they talk to you, try and piss you off, whisper their doubts, although if their nice ones sometimes they call out to you in your sleep and invite you to play. At the worst of times they say nothing and no matter how you reason, argue, plead, cajole, suprise or spend time with them they remain exactly as solid immovable and constant as ever. But then they are always (nearly!) where you left them so you can go back and try again later.

On the pleasurable side, just as the universe will supply punishment for breaking the Parkour rule DON'T CHEAT!, it always listens to what you need. After some blog musing (and much more actual real world musing) on my dance and parkour techniques and how they could become less disparate and more symbionic what should pop into existence but the SouthBank Dance Parkour project. Perfect!, the first stage of investigation begins!!!!.

CHALLENGE UPDATE
I'm no longer posting a seperate daily challenge as i'm no longer posting a daily blog!. However external challenges from you folks are still welcome and very much sought after. Current outstanding (as in not done although they are also good suggestions!) challenges are:
1Shi- laches on tree branches
2Sola- pull ups
3Dan - 5 consequtive pull ups by October
4Thomas - 2 min rail hang on a round rail.(1 min best so far)

Again fortune has clustered them into addressing similar muscle groups and actions so my daily challenge becomes to work towards these 4 simultaneously. Thanx so much for taking time to think of them you 4.
