Chipotle :: What do I like and what do I get?

Mmm... Chipotle.. One of what I think is the best fast-food Mexican restaurants in the Chicago land area.

What do I love to get from there?

Personally, I love to get the Steak Burritos because I'm a big steak eater and everything that comes with the burrito just turns out great.  The following toppings or additions as you may call it are:

- Steak
- Lettuce 
- Chopped Tomatoes 
- Beans
- Hot "Red" Sauce
- Cheese
- Sour Cream

Those are the following vegetables and sauces that I get every time I go to Chipotle.

Before I go, I'd like to state why I think Chipotle is one of the best Mexican restaurants out there.  It's quite better than Taco Bell, and whatever else there is because the quality of the meat and the tortillas are just much better, and it's obvious.  If you were to compare both hard crunchy shells from Taco Bell and Chipotle, you can see how cheap the shells from Taco Bell are, it's like a piece of cardboard.  On the other hand, Chipotle, being the better tasting one, has nothing much to say because the hard shells from there are very much top quality and looks like something you would buy from Jewel and make it yourself.

Hairstyle that I want to get next :: What do you think?

Alright, I'm getting sick and tired of my "Goku hair" because the lady at the salon messed it up.  Cut the hair way to short and now I look like a weirdo.
Anyway, this is the new hairstyle I'd like to get so I need opinions.
What do you guys think?

Melbourne Shuffle what.. What.. WHAT?!

.::. Melbourne Shuffle .:. What is it?  What does this mean!

The Melbourne Shuffle... a dance, a style, a passion.
Melbourne Shuffle is a dance where you use both, hands and feet to create different styles of shuffling.  
Shuffling is what is called when you want to dance in Melbourne Shuffle terms.  
This dance mainly focuses on the hands and feet because you need you're feet to glide on the floor and using your hands to show upper body creativity.

This dance was created in Australia and is slowly moving and growing throughout the states and countries all around the world.  This dance was created in the 90's where people developed a slide called, "Shuffle" although shuffling now is completely different and used in clubs, rave parties, and just wherever you are!

There's so many things that's involved with shuffling and I'd love to list down a few of them!  From crews to the music to the styles and even to the clothing!

Firstly, Crews!
Crews were developed back in 2007 where the first main known crew, "HSK" was born in Australia (Hardstyle Klowns).  Crews are a bunch of people that have great dedication towards this dance and battles with other crews and even make new friends.  Crews usually dance on the street, and other well-known places where you see many tourists for example. City of Chicago.  Crews have been such a big part of the Shuffling community because it provides more fun for the dance and style, and as I said before, you make many, many new friends and see different styles.

A few known crews are... 
HSK [Hardstyle Klowns]
HSA [Hardstyle Addicts]
HSJ [Hardstyle Jokers]
BC [Bass Captives]
SDF [Shuffle Dance Freedom]
HR [Hardstyle Republic]
BR [Bass Rockers]
RBK [Reverse Bass Krew]
THV [The Hardstyle Virus]
HG [HardGen]

Moving on, Music & Shoes.
Shoes and especially the music are huge parts of the Melbourne shuffle because you need great music with hard bass to shuffle to and you need nice clean shoes with a good sole.  Starting off with music, you can't shuffle to any ordinary music, there's mainly two choices: Hardstyle and Hardtrance.  The reason why you need these two kinds of music is because every time you wanna stomp on the bass (Stomping = releasing your foot) you have to be precise and on beat.  If you're not on-beat then the shuffle wouldn't look good or make sense, and this also relies to any kind of dance, you always gotta be on-beat.  Hardstyle music mainly focuses on the bass and it's a powerful kind of bass, thus why you want to be on-beat and it'll all look great.  Anyway, moving onto the shoes.  Shoes are a huge deal in part of the shuffle because you can't use you're everyday kinda shoe.  There's many different types of shoes you can use, but most shufflers own either Converse or Pumas because the when the sole of the shoe gets worn out, it makes it easier to slide and shuffle and do many other things.  I've heard that those shoes are very, very great and I own both shoes and the community was right, it's possibly the best.

Oh my, the clothing?!
Furthermore, the clothing of the Melbourne Shuffle. 
The clothing in shuffling isn't something you'd wear everyday to class and or / outside.  The pants that most shuffler uses are called, "Phats" which are thick clothing, most are jean type, and having wild colors and crazy designs.  A few name brands of this kind of clothing are called, MOS, Heatwave, and another which I can't remember at the moment.  As for the upper-body shufflers tend to wear hoodies with there crew name on it or a few types of Shuffle party names, etc: PHD/MOS/Bubble.

In addition, we must talk about the styles!
In Shuffling, you can't call someone "bad" or "terrible" because everybody has they're own style and dance with what there comfortable with.  There's always controversly with this because there's always people that want to say "HAHAHA I'M BETTER THAN YOU!"  and then the other person fights back and there's just chaos.  Although that only happens with people who aren't very good in shuffling, but the top-tier shufflers don't act like that.  They're just mature and that's the way you should be and act.

And lastly, shuffle parties, or clubs as you may call it.
Usually located in Australia, these clubs are a shufflers dream.  Many shufflers attend these places with they're Phats on and the hoodie of the club name or the crew name.  The reason why these clubs are for shufflers and just the every-day club head is because they blast the best music for shuffling, which is Hardstyle.  Most known clubs, which are mainly located in Australia are:

PHD
Bubble
MOS
Defqon. 1
Qlimax
inQontrol

Here's my inspiration and idol that made me practice this dance every single day and makes me want to become one of the best in Australia.  This shuffler is named, "MIKKI!"

Well guys, there it is, MY explanation about the Melbourne shuffle.  I posted the information that would help you learn about more in the long run.  And to answer all of your questions, I will probably shuffle and bring my phats, hood, and hat to school NEXT YEAR because I want to loose weight so I can shuffle a bit fast and show my very best.






Think a toilet-brush can get stuck up your butt?

So we had to find an interesting topic related to Health and I discovered one which in my mind was quite, "exotic".

I read this cool article

I found this article quite bizarre because the toilet-brush is one long object and that it shouldn't be too difficult to find.. What did she go for?  Did the British women go in for a check-up?  Could she just not find the pain?

In the article it states that Corton, British women, had told the doctors two years ago that she's been in constant pain and tried to convince doctors that she had a long object stuck inside of her.  There should have been a very serious procedure to remove it, but it could not be done because the top of the toilet-brush, the brush itself, was up her Pelvis. 

A couple of months later, Corton comes back to the Doctors and scheduled a 10 hour surgery to be done to this done.  However, the doctors of Queens Medical Center in Nottingham, England, was done with the surgery, Corton died due to massive blood loss.

My top ten list :: What do they mean / stand for?

Like I said, I'm going to post down below what each of my top ten choices mean. And they are:

Defqon 1. : An annual Hardstyle festival which invites all well-known DJ's across the world to share they're music and express the feeling. Defqon is enterprised by Dutch entertainment, Q-Dance. The festival alone lasts over 12 hours non-stop and fulfills every Hardstyle/Trance/Dub-Step/Hard-Techno listeners dream.

Qlimax : An annual Hardstyle festival in which also invites all well-known DJ's across the world to share they're music and express the feelings. Qlimax is also enterprised by Dutch entertainment, Q-Dance. This event, you could say it's the same as Defqon 1. but not quite, is the leading festival of all of the well-known biggest Techno parties of the year.

Hardstyle : This music is an Electronic dance genre ranging from different styles of Techno such as: Hardtrance, Hardcore, and Rave music. The tempos shuffle between both 140 - 160 BPM (beats per minute). Hardstyle is greatly known across Europe and evolving into the US as we speak. This music has a hard-kicking bass motion and rhythm which allows you to dance your way to the extreme.

Australia / Holland / Germany : Australia is a country and a continent located across the sea from the US. It's a well-known country for it's high temperatures and it's widely spread of animals. Holland is also a country located in the Eastern side of Europe and across the sea from US. Holland is known for it's high-tech security and just a laid back country. Lastly, Germany, this country is located in the Eastern-part of Europe and is across the sea of the US, obviously. Germany is known for it's great festivals and very good Soccer team, Stuttgart.

Melbourne Shuffle : The Melbourne Shuffle is a dance where you use your feet to slide across the floor and do many twists and spins. It's a well-known dance that was first started in Australia and slowly moving through the states and especially Europe. You would typically use "Hardstyle" music to dance to this, or shuffle I should say.

Hard-Jump : Hardjump, more commonly known as "Jumpstyle" is a type of dance which typically is done in Europe and also a music genre. Jumpstyle originated in Belgium in 1997, so it's quite a historic dance. There have been many Jumpstyle artists and dancers, but the most well-known is Patrick Mantizz, re-named to "Patrick Jumpen".

Raves : "Raves" is the first term used in the later 80's by a group of wild party goers. Raves are typically described as Acid Parties which are fast beats with a few light shows here and there. The parties consist of fast-paced Electronic music such as: Techno, House, and Jungle.

Hoodie : Hoodies are an upper-body sweater with a hood sticking out of it. These types of clothing are more likely used for working out, cold-temperatures, and also used to identify teams for sports. The history of this garmet is that it was made in the 1930s and was used all the way back since the Middle Ages.

World Cup : The World Cup is a soccer tournament which arrives every 4 years and takes on 18 teams to compete with each other to win the Gold Cup. This tournament is a big deal because teams are going against each other for normal games, but there's the number of games that you need to win to get in invitation.

Well guys, there it is, my top ten list. I hope you guys took the time to read what I like and hope that you get into it too. ;)
