Breakdancing with friends at LO-FI

Category: PersonalDmitry @ 12:17 am

Dancing with Free and Orbitron (Circle of Fire crew), and other local bboys at club “LO_FI” (Seattle):

Orbitron is freestyling on the second half of the video.

Listen to 4:23

“… great to see release - my man goes
Dmitry is in the circle — he spins and let goes
with the palm on a hand over jacket

grant stand I can grand slam when I got here
Tip the beat, rock and nod, spot the block, till I get off to my forehead
Ya’ll know where its at, ya’ll spin on a hat …”


My ankle is feeling much better! I can finally start dancing again!!!

Time goes by faster the older you get?

Category: PersonalDmitry @ 2:48 am

After having a discussion earlier today about this, as I was driving home … I realized something about this saying - its just not true.

Any kind of excitement and anticipation make it feel like time is sloooowing down. Think about it. Lets say you’re so excited to do something with your friends on Friday. You have these huge plans. The whole week is going to feel like a month, because you just can’t wait for it to be that day!

Evolution: Keep the wing or go wingless?

Category: PersonalDmitry @ 2:44 am

What do you guys think? Should I keep the stock wing, take it off, or get a little “trunk lip” for my car?

Stock Wing

So, here is a picture of my car (first pic). I think the stock wing is kinda big and silly, but it is functional … if I am taking 90-degree corners at 160 mph.

This car isn’t meant to be “pretty” — its all purely functional. But I think taking a wing off might make it look more subtle.

Finding a balance in Life

Category: PersonalDmitry @ 2:31 am

Dmitry KalashnikovI am going to share some of my very personal ideas on being balanced and staying on top of things. These things I figured out on my own a while back and I have been perfecting them every day. Being a software developer, I constantly trying to find an improved “algorithm” for … well, Living. I can’t give it all away because it’s too personal but here are a few practical tips and ideas:

Jackie Chan and Mitsubishi

Category: PersonalDmitry @ 6:59 am

Jackie Chan has the same car as meJackie Chan loves EVOs (Mitsubishi Evolution) and owns all generations of them (which is 1 through 10). Most of his movies have an Evo chase seen - watch “Who am I”, “Thunderbolt”). As you know, he does his own stunts and most of he is also a great driver.

Hagakure

Category: PersonalDmitry @ 10:53 pm

Hagakure, The Code of the Samurai

Hagakure is a very interesting book I picked up — it has a lot of historical value since it describes life during ancient japan, when the shogun and samurai ruled the country. I’ve been a student of Aikido and other martial arts for some time now, so this is very interesting to me. Some of the stuff in this book is too wild and gruesome to mention but I thought these quotes were great.

Sprained Ankle

Category: PersonalDmitry @ 3:43 am

Bummer! I injured my ankle while climbing at Stone Gardens. They just got done upgrading the floor at the gym – now it has a padded floor. No more rocks. As I came off the wall, my foot got stuck in-between pads and my body pivoted around it. I’ll be on crutches for a week and wear an ancle splint for a month.

Seattle Impressions

Category: PersonalDmitry @ 11:55 pm

img_0316.JPGI’ve been in Seattle for about a week now. I love it. Should have done it a long time ago! Its going to be hard to live anywhere else now, especially in a small town. I really like the city life, all the people, constant motion, traffic … everything. I am starting over.

I was going to continue running my own business from Seattle, but decided to take a job offer form Microsoft — it seems really fun and its a totaly different environment then what I am used to (me). Continue reading “Seattle Impressions”

Flovolution CrewToday was one of those memorable days I’ll always remember! My bboy crew, “Flovolution” performed at Big Easy for the RedBull “Flight Club” theme party. We shared the stage with breakers from Tri-Cities, and the “Circle Of Fire” (Seattle). Crazy Legs was there too, but he didn’t perform. Everyone was pretty sore from his workshop a day before. The Red Bull and Big Easy kindly provided us with Davenport hotel rooms, hats …

Category: PersonalDmitry @ 8:59 am

I got to teach a hip hop / footwork class tonight because my buddy Shanner was gone. Heard some great news … “Crazy Legs” of the Rock Steady Crew is going to be teaching a workshop at our dance studio (Simply Dance). I am pretty psyched about it. This guy pretty much invented breaking, windmills … etc.
