901...chyup.

Mkay, so for a while I've been pondering the idea of making a La Benjelle Familia tribute montage. It would be like, a picture montage with commentary, and the commentary would be from other Benjellers (of La Familia). I'm guessing that I would order it by age, or randomly, or whatever, but we could each tape ourselves talking about another Familia member. Well, not just one, all of us. Like, I would tape myself talking (Good things! haha) about Moose, and all the cool stuff that happens, and one about Ceecee, and Ray, and Bridgey, etc. Some of the earlier Benjellers might not know the later Benjellers, for instance, Medina might not know that much about Silas, or any of the other Familia members. Mostly just Dominique and I, so she would just have to make commentary for me and Cee. You don't actually have to tape yourself talking about the familia...you can record an audio if you want, or if you want you can just tape yourself. lol. I won't really use the video part that much, it's mostly the audio...because it's a picture montage...chyeah. And so, tell me what you guys think about this. I know most of La Familia is busy, and some of us are still in school at this point, but if you make the video I shall love you even more than I already do. =] squeee!

Okay so just in case you've forgotten (hee, sometimes I do) here are the La Benjelle Familia members. [the more recent ones. not the familia members from like way back when. ha.]

1. Kemi
2. Ora
3. Bridget
4. Rachel
5. Dominique
6. Mary
7. Veronica
8. Taylor
9. Hannah
10. Medina
11. Belzy Bop. (no idea what her real name is. I'm a terrible person =P)
12. Jordan

That's all I can think of right now. I wanted to do Ryan but she's in Spain so...I highly doubt that It'll work out. -complications-

Yeah, I hope this turns out well. :)

Oh, btw. If you really can't get anything close to an audio tape you can leave a comment on my voice recorder and I'll tape it onto my mp3 player. That'll work perfectly too. =]

*rushes off to tape sexyback dance* hahah. <3

La Benjelle Familia Montages

Hey Everybody!

Well, first of all, I must point out that this is officially our 900th post on this blog! In the spirit of such, I'd just like to send out a big Moose lick to everyone in La Familia, past or present. We love you all!

In addition, Taylor and I have been discussing what sorts of stuff we want to do to revive our blog over the summer. Fortuitously enough, we each had our own ideas for a montage we wanted to make, and we need your help!

Mine is one that I want to send to Benji and Donyelle to show them how much they've inspired us all. For that reason, I want to try to get video clips of as many of the Familia as I can... DANCING! Whether you're a dancer, or not, I'd love it if you could do something to be represented... Even if it's just the Hokey Pokey! I mean, I'd love to be able to work with some clips of some of you really, truly amazing dancers seriously showing off your craft, but I want to include some sillyness too, so... Just make it whatever you're capable of. Now, I doubt all of you just have videos of yourselves dancing sitting around on your desktop, so I know there would be some work involved, but, PLEASE, if you can, just have someone take a video of you with a digital camera (Or whatever), and put it on your computer to send me. I would be forever greatful! .Mov, .Avi, etc. type files are easily opened on my computer, but I can hopefully find a way to convert whatever form you can get it to me in. Please tell me in a comment if you think you can get me a video, and email me at < b e a t l e m a n i a c 3 5 7 @ y a h o o . c o m > when you have a file to send. Thank you so much! I think this can be really great if you guys can help me out : D.

Also, Taylor had her own idea for a montage, which is also destined for amazingness! She's been wanting to make a picture montage/slideshow of La Familia, with all of our voices talking about the other people in it. I don't know if I'm explaining this well, but I think it will be equally cool if we all help her pull that one off. I don't know exactly how she wants to work this out, so you'll have to talk to her about that, but doesn't it sound cool?

(One Final Plea): PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE SEND ME CLIPS OF YOURSELVES DANCING IF YOU CAN!

Love!

~ Moosey ~

Benji and Lacey!!!!

Woot! Okay, so it's still in the audition stage, not much to report, but... Come on... Benji and Lacey!

Just, wow, so happy to see Benji on screen again! I love them together...

The stuff about Buddy's sign... Lacey's hair (Hehe, Pumbaa, I know you love it)... : D

And, ooooobviously the dancing was superb!


And now, just for kicks, here's what my mom said:


Hannah (Me): I KNEW Lacey would audition!

My Mom: HOW did you know? How did you even know there WAS a Lacey?

Hannah (Me): *insert long pause here* Because I'm a crazy online "So You Think You Can Dance" stalker?

My Mom: That's so creepy.




lol. Yeah, so this post was pointless.

Love to all!


~ Moosey ~

shmexay.

Well...he did improve from last year. :|

=D


(thanks MeEnUmBeRtOo)

eh. I liked the song much better when Heidi did her solo to it. :)

"So you're gonna get it whether you like it or not, right now!" *dies* omg. That was the best. <3


I hope he doesn't come back next year! That would just be humiliating. =/


-Tayzinator :P

:)

hehe. 1:21. Mary is crazy. XD

When Nigel is all "She is sooo sexy" and then Dan is like "uch. yeh." That cracked me and my sis up like you wouldn't believe. XD That's our new catch phrase. :D





...sorta. :]

durnahnoonuuy. noo. nur. noo. hahaha. <3


oh my god. my hero. =D DD!


yo what it be what it be?! dancin' d. haha. hell yeah. heck yeah. XD His laugh is the best!


Yayyy! :)



<3 I loooved these two! (thanks sizlintune)

-Taylorrr :P

aww. I couldn't find Heather or Hanna-lee.

The Opening...

YES THE THEME SONG! <3




(thanks silverkhy)

hehe. 1:12 had me cracking up!


-Tay :P

new stuff!

So....we didn't make it to 1,000 posts for Season Three. (BOO! =/) But, we did get a new layout! Tell us what you think. Dark blue? Or this light creamy thingy that looks like a cookie? :)

-Tay :P


ps-I'm soo in for the continuation of the group fic!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

*CUE CREEPY MUSIC*

She's baaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaack...

Hehe, yeah, you heard me right, Moose is officially back for Season Three, and the all-powerful force that is Tayoose lives on!

Well, not much to report yet, since it's only in the audition stage, and Taylor pretty much covered what little there was to say.

I'm totally self-advertizing here, but for any of you who remember the story I abandonned in OCTOBER, "Behind the Wall," I officially updated it last night.

Also, I'm attempting to start up our beloved blog's group fic again with an update I'm working on right now, so please, all of you authors out there who signed up to be a part of it, let me know if you're coming back to write.

Yeah, that's really about it... Sorry to not have a whole lot of oomph to add into my first post back, but I haven't just been off this site, I've been out of the Benjelle loop altogether (Due to that bastard that is highschool)... And, even if I had been able to search for juicyness, I'm sure Taylor's already posted what little there was.

Anywho, biiiig hugs and lotsa love!

~ Moosey ~

SYTYCD 3

Mkay, I'm going to try to squee without spoiling stuff.

So! There were soo many great dancers. And of course the not so great. Some familiar faces were back....*cough* =D "Has sex improved for you since last year, Mary?" ahahah.

I looooved Heather Zampier!! Gosh, I hope she gets into the Top 20.

Annd my other favorite was Hanna-Lee Sakakibara. Wow, that thing with the floor. O_O I've never seen anything like that in my life. =/

Well, gosh! That premiere was awesome! I was hoping to see Ian. mwuaha.

I can't wait until the next episode! WOOTT!!!



-Taylor :P


PS- Moose is coming back afterall! YAY!

6 MINUTES!

YESS!! OMGOSH!


woo.

Okay so, I'm off to get ready to watch!


And I haven't gotten to speak to Moose in a while. I think she is coming back for the third season, but I haven't seen her around.

MOOOSEEEYYY COME BACK I NEED YOU! :}


gah. I'm so hyper! Can you tell? AHHEGHFG I need to shut up now. OKAY OKAY FOUR MINUTES!


BYEE!!


-Taylor :PPPPPP

Benjelle picturesss!

AHH! I'm sooo amazingly sorry that these weren't posted sooner. Long. Long. Long story!

benji's pic captions are underneath each pic.


couple least likely to succed...



"What's that? Season 3?!?!?! Another benjelle? That'll never be."



you can tell i was abot to fall...my foot was digging into a big screw



...so we decided to just fall lol



either a have a really tan arm or thats donyelle!



forever...




=]


the thing about the arm cracked me up. haha. Benjelle foreverr. squee. :D


-Taylor :P

Benjelle!

Finally a blog about BENJELLE. No not just Benji or only Donyelle....BENJELLE. =DD :)

unfortunately it's only one pic. =/



Thanks anonymous! <3

I'll try to look for the rest of the pics once they leak. =P Leak, pitcures...LEAK!

:D

-Taylor :P

About the blog...

So I talked to Moosey about whether this blog will be a "Benjelle" blog next season. Since I'm totally inferior to Moose's awesome literature skills, I got her to write it! YAAAYYY! Ily Hannabean! <33

While we plan to continue the blog as it began - as one devoted to Benjelle - we doubt that we will be able to sustain the blog on simply that. For that reason, we plan to arrange it into separate journals: One for Benjelle, and the other for Season Three.

=] I hope that clears things up. Thanks Moosey!


~The Tayoose~ :P

Benji talks aout SYTYCD 3...

Thanks baggies. And it's not dogbone, it's doggybone. LMAO. Last night was funny XD haha I would quote that new brand of cereal.....flakes....but I'm deciding not to. AHAHA.

http://www.fox.com/video/index.htm?cat_id=dance3&clip_id=dance_benji_hi



Wooo. Lacey. :)


-Tayy[MLS] :P


PS- MLS stands for Matthew Lush Side, but ooh it can stand for Mary Loves Shawn. AHA. I'm good.

To clear things up...

So I had no idea what Benji's blog was about. I knew about the 'stolen' mambo thing but I had never watched or compared the two videos. So for anyone (including myself) who is lost on this topic here are both videos.






They really do look similar though. Oh well, I don't think less of anybody haha :D

and the storm stopped...
Current mood: dorky

enough people...
okay so im revising this...basically saying that what was done is done...no hard feelings either way best of luck to all the competitors on Dancing with the Stars.
It really wasnt a huge deal to me. Unfortunately people have made it something very big. All in all I'll say this. The reasons as to why I have made the decision to remove the video and my opinion of what happened...

I don't want one person's decision for what is only a minute and a half's time to alter the course of someone trying very hard to be good out there. As competetive dancers, we all go thru stress, and tv shows are no exception...sometimes we aren't very conscious of our actions and in no way mean to insult the integrity and hard work of others. I feel that this was the case. I don't believe it was Julianne's intention at all to do what was done. She was just trying to make her partner look good and stand out....I think she did just that! Best of luck to both of them. My apologies to those that I may have offended...never my intention to offend, but to show truth and clarify issues that pertain to my friends, family and myself. Which i felt I have written was written with honesty when many other words and emotions could have spilt and they didn't. Am I trying to get Apollo kicked off?....no not at all, in fact he has a very great shot at winning the whole thing jazzed if he did. More than anything, I do what I love and I put so much of myself into it. Heidi and Alex do that as well. I may need to start looking that when something I've put my stamp on is done or thru whatever channel has graced the movement of another person, then it is as many have said is a compliment. Do I regret what was said? No not at all. Do I like it when someone gets hurt by all of this? No. So yeah...

To my amazingly supportive fans:
you guys rock! all in all, its amazing to see so many protective of heidi and I. Thank you...let's all have a cease fire and let the SHOW GO ON!
Love yall...
feelings aside...if there are naysayers about all this, let's be the bigger ones here. There is no more bad feelings between Julianne and I, nor were there really ever...just very big amounts of miscommunication!

Peace!
Benji

Greetings from Singapore/who do i look like?
Current mood: peaceful

Hey Guys,
Im having the most amazing time over here in singapore...aside from me being kinda sleepless in the early am(in which im downloading a lot of really cool experimental music) im really loving this great culture here in S'Pore as the locals write it. This has been a very theraputic trip for me. The work is great. One of the things Im doing is dan cing on the S'Porian version of sytycd called "The Dance Floor" for its grand finale and results show. It was cool coming there...immediatley doing press shoots and bugging the photographers about what cameras they use and what exporsure are they shooting at, etc. then having my face in the front page of the national paper...to working with the finalists and actually empathyzing what they are going through. It just made me relive the whole experience over and also see now the growth that I have both as a human being and also as a dancer. Im' taking new risks, and challenging myself and remember me a year ago and to see that passion inside of me grow amidst naysayers and dirty people in the business and many other personal matters that are difficult. I just feel really blessed and watched out for by my Heavenly Father....and however you see God as, how much He does love and look out for us...even in turmoil. I love Him.
Well so I've shocked my friends who have taken me around town...I guess most won't dare try the cuisine here...IM like "Oh yeah im on it" I'd try any food atleast once...so far I've loved it all...the food rocks here in s'pore! The people are very cool and just so respectful and real its a refershing thing to see. So anywho...Im also doign another show here and teaching workshops...im excited to be here.

Now onward...Ive been getting recognized here quite a bit...and funny thing is is sometimes people may see may face and think i was on tv or something but cant put two and two together, which i totally understabnd...i dont even know how i still or even would have fans lol...but many here have called me other celebrity names...now remember in Singapore their primary language is English, so its not like theyre living in a translated/subtitled world when it comes to american pop culture.

I've been called:

Jake Gylehal

Justin Timberlake

"Good Charrlote" not sure which one that is of the group...lol

Travis Wall....hehehehhe i have a story to tell him about this chineses girl who was convinced...

Malcom "as in malcom in the middle"

....all of which i don't think i look like at all...lol so weird!

any who i was just curious....what do those that are reading think i look like?

im curious to know:

i think i look like ice cube and jay-z but what do i know?!?!?!?! hahahahah

see yall at the World Swing Dance Championships!!!! may 4th 5th 6th
remember tickets can be purchased at the door...come one day come all take our workshops...etc etc!!!

love yall

Benjstah Blog!

hm. At this point I think the Benjeller in me has pretty much died. Not because of B-man's blog. Just basically because after half a year of squeeing and replaying the VFW ending you get tired of pushing something that may never happen. Buuut, Benjelle Familia is forever. And if somehow in the future when I'm 18 Benji and Donyelle are together like we all...insanely dreamed (=]) then I'll be amazingly happy. But if it doesn't I just want Benji and Donyelle to be happy. lol, you guys already know that I'm a Tahir fan. :] But of course Benjelle will always have a special place in my fangirl heart. I love you all! =D Please don't disown me! haha ♥

new benji blog. he's in love & he's feeling kinda up & down about a lot of things. i say, let's just leave him alone & let's stop speculating. i feel so sad for him after reading this. poor thing & to answer his question...yes benji dear, i will still love you tomorrow.
------------------------------------------

will you still love me?*************
Current mood: working

Ringing and ringin throughout my head have the lyrics in the great Carole king's song "will you love me tomorrow". its something i've thought about a lot latelt...amidst my crazy travels and hectic schedual. I don't have much time to write or speel check so please forgive me for my shortcomings.
its been a while...i know...im learning that i need to try and sleep...my body has been making me sleep...i nearly hit a boiling point and i think my body finally had enough and said "no myspace for you!" hehehe so yeah, I've been trying to cut back for my health guys...i can only write in the wee hours so ive been, much better...although i should be packing right now...so ive messed up this once for all ya'll...you know there much love to the fans.
which brings me back to carole king...
many many events have taken place in the recent month ive been away...too many to list in fact but i want to show a big emphasis on time...and what it does to people.

Take you for example...
you're reading my blog...probably due to one of many things...
1. you watched so you think you can dance
2. you think im funny
3. you're bored
4. you're obsessed with me
5. you think im cute
6. you respect my opinion
7. you're waiting for me to spill a secret: whether it be about future plans, answering to rumors, confessing my love to a certain someone, etc. etc.

in no way am i saying that all of the above reasons are bad...infact most of them are great and i concider great compliments to the hard work ive put in both my spiritual education, dance, art, and humanitarian efforts. so kudos to you all in those aspects... my love and appreciation to you all.

i have recnetly recieved a horrible email, more of an eye opener...
it stated that this girl "idolized" me.
and she was serious...and told me so then said i was a crock and a hypocrite. i laughed at it...because i really could care less about crabby people. but something did call m=out to me in that letter...a select few idolize me...
im here to say that for you few...please don't. im nothing but 23 year old dude who happens to have gotten a little fame thru his "God-given"...(*emphasis on God) talents. If you feel connected to me or have felt good about something i've done...its not directly from me...its all about the man upstairs. I am simply nothing. So red alert before someone becomes bitter that i posted something uncharacteristic of "Benji". Umm last time i checked its uncharacteristic of me to do something characteristic of Benji...

"will you still love me tomorrow?"

also...some of you are diehard fans of sytycd. SO Am I! I basically love the show...think its amazing...know all the dances from season 1...lol...amazing. I have had the opportunity to meet nearly everyone from that cast...its weird cuz im apart of that same show and have even recieved more press, accolades and even votes than any of the other competitors (SO FAR)...but im still in awe of them. They are my peers...but now, I also call many of them friends and that feeling has died down of hype and more humane feelings of respect and friendship have come into place. I feel that most of my "fans" have or will get more into that phase...than anyother if they are truley die hard. If not...ill probably be mentions now and then...but what once was "benji wall paper on my myspace page" will turn into "oh yeah the guy who won second season"......

Im well aware of that...

"will you still love me tomorrow?"

maybe some of you will...Ive seen many of you order my instructional dvds...come to workshops and actually use me as a doorway to the wonderful world of dancing...and in all honesty, aside from getting the itch to donate to demand and other charities, i think thats the coolest non spiritual influence i could ever have on someone. Dancing is my life and its so great to be a part of this profession....with or without titles accolaides and crazy screaming fans...

im not perfect...im very imperfect infact. i tend to have gas alot...lol and i sometimes snip at people who bug me...I try and be gracious as i can, but some people are so blatantly rude when they approach me its sad...because i begin to shatter their "squeaky clean image" of "benji". I was and still am accessable 24/7 to the world via tv and internet. But i am only a human being. There is only one of me. I cannot take the time one takes to get to know one person when i have a separate life of my own filled with loved ones and people i barely get to see. I recently was at a dance convention. Its really easy to see who are my true friends and who are trying to be because of my temporary fame staus...also those that basically are very green with envy...and have nothing but negative things to say like " fame has changed him" and "he has changed so much...he's not the benji he used to be"........
well let me set the record straight:

I AM NOT THE SAME PERSON I WAS, NOR DO I FEEL THAT ITS A BAD THING!

I am me...in fact the more constant parts and essences that compile up and are "me" are still there.....

I am an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ OF Latter Day Saints. So I've never drank, or smoked or done drugs. I've never had sex. I am waiting for marriage. My fondest memories take place in Oaxaca, mexico, second most on the dance floor.
I am crazy, and love to make people laugh...especially those who i trust and love.
I love raising money and other things for the needy. Helping my fellow man. D.E.M.A.N.D. is going very strong! I am in love with dance....all art forms really but dance especially. I love it all...west coast swing will always be my heart, but other forms as well now take great passion in my life...I am a free spirit...I am quick witted...I am very honest...and i know what i want in life.

So yeah those things are still the same ol benji...but im also busier now...im looking towords the future a bit more...saving my money and not spending it on random wastes. I tend to spend more time rehersing and training and teaching then i do sleeping. I am constantly thinking about projects in my head...i tend to not have my phone on because i need to concentrate at time, and I can't play with friends because i dont have as much downtime. When i am in a convention room...i cant socialize like i used to...1, every minute and hour has something booked to it.....2, when i do speak with people i dont know very well...i end up hearing the same question "so what are you doing now? tell us your future plans?!?!?!" ...sorry it may sound weird and as if im biting the hands that have put me on this pedestal but I really dislike repeating myself my great plans so often that they become to familiar and not great to me anymore. I sometimes have to say..."i really dont wanna talk about that" and people give me the most aweful looks and insult me very quickly. I was watching students of mine perform and was asked a question similar to that one and i had said...well Im sorry but i realy dont want to talk about that right now" he flicked my ear and said i owed it to him because he donated money to DEMAND.......HOW SICK IS THAT? so yeah i can be a little upset about that stuff. Ive learned to respect myself and not be a monkey to people as much as i used to be. I used to be a more "kill em with kindness" now im more of a "honesty is the best policy"...and for me its been quite liberating. should i be cold? no. should i be rude? no should i expect to take 5 minutes with everyone i see in a room and repeat the same darn thing all the while i should be somewhere rehersing or teaching? NO NO NO...sorry if that sounds rude, but im being very honest. i was filmed on tv as the obedient kid...I was being taught by professionals who i respected dearly...now, Im normally in the position of being the teacher and choreographer...some people don't get the fect that i wear many hats...I know when to be quiet and when to voice my own opinion and that comes as a big shock for many peeps.

"will you still love me tomorrow?

maybe you will....maybe you wont. I just hope a few things...

that people will stop idolyzing me.

that people will be understanding of my time and my personal life/friends pre sytycd

that people wont mistake what i just said as me being ungreatful for all the support and work many pf ou have put into me and my causes

that people will find balance

that people will understand that i am only a man...accept me as you would a family member...flaws and all and don't get upset if you dont like my song i choose or a picture i took, cuz frankly i know my intentions and you can guess all you want but you don't know jack(jack who? never heard of him!...hahah i kid)

that people will come here because they are friends...even on a fan feel only...not because they expect me to get married to someone from the tv show and force that apon me thinking they know me well enough to choose who i date and/or love.
I am in love...but people need to understand that my life is not a reality show. and I won't mix that side which is something i hold sacred to be ravenged by wolves.

"will you still love me tomorrow?"...indeed i know atleast someone will.

I owe a big thank you to everyone who comes here....I hope you all continue to do so!
I actually love myspacing...i don't know anyone who is as in touch with his/her fans than i am...and although i feel sometimes as if when you give a cookie to mouse hes gonna want a glass of milk, 90% of the time i spend here is not only fun but theraputic.

Now an update outside of all this...(if any of you care...lololol jut messing)

I am very happy these days. I am in love. I am also in love with dancing. To the point that I would turn down a movie if it meant that i would not take dancing to different heights. I dont have some movie and tv plans...but dancing is my professional and artistic priority. I have grown up so much in the last few months with my dancing...and i have the great honor to be sharing that with the world. Im loving choreography and performing and working with the media as well.
Im now just so used to sleeping on planes more than i do in my own bed...its kinda fun the gypsy lifestyle...atleast for the time being!
I do wish that dance would be even bigger than it is...although im not upset by the sttention its already getting...guess i have to do better, guess we all do. I am really excited for some certain people trying out for SYTCD 3... i can't wait to cheer EVERYONE on...yes everyone...im not biased like "some people" (ahem!)
opps anywho...going to reno in a few hours...then to singapore...just finished my tvland performances....yes im back woods...yes i am a brady now as well...lol pics on that will be posted soon.

OMFGYES!

I am favoriting this right now! Oh Em Gee, Kendra! That was amazing. But omgosh, at like about 4:50 you started hitting every single beat and I was like squirming in my chair from montagey-goodness. *sigh* I think I'm the only person who gets extremely happy at scene fading. =D




LOVE IT!

benjiman daniel schwimmer
donyelle denise jones
daniel...donyelle...even their names are almost similar...lame excuse for a theory but still

Yeah but it's still better than my theory! "They both dance!!!" haha. :D That was pathetic. XD


-Taylor :P

"theories and such" =]

I'm about to hit the hay, lol. hay. Southern Travis. Twang. :)

But anywayyy, before I headed [um. head? headed? ah. one week off from school and I can barely spell my own name =/] off to sleep I decided to post some commentizzles.

ok so, here goes...
Guys, I honnestly believe that benjelle were meant to be together, when two ppl meet living in the same country,same state, and same city, and then they get on the same show, with each other, and they fall in love without wanting to, it just happened. They will realize that they were meant to be sooner or later, but they will, cause fate put them together to meet each other and there must be a reason to this.

I saw this and heard it and I immediately thought about benjelle

"I never thought I could fall in love with my best friend" that is what Monica was trying to Chandler in the engagement scene, and it is SO BENJELLE as well <3

Ta!

Here's a theory that I came upon when watching the benjelletage of peas and carrots
-You know how Forrest says to Jenny "you're my girl" (Benji says about donyelle "she's the jenny to my forrest")
Well, benji says in his blog to " 'my girl' i miss ya babe" well it could be donyelle... although it's just a theory.

Also when he put up the caption of "miss donyelle jones" I thought of forrest gump when he said "I miss you Jenny. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away." It could relate to this or even the I miss ya babe in his blog...

Something to think about!
These are only THEORIES!

Well, whoever Benji ends up with I hope she is as awesomely coolio. :) That's all I have to say. :D



-Taylor who still misses Moosey :P :]

benjelle fangirl said...

i'd love to see them dance contemporary to chasing cars. wouldn't it be magic then? sigh.




Yes, I agree. It would be pretty darn magical. I think we would see some bunnies. Some top hats. haha I dunno why I thought that was funny. :/ Too much...STICKYNESS. hehehehe. ;)




This is like the most myspace pimped song ever! "If I lay here...If I just lay here. Would you lay with me? And just forget the world?" I think everyone has had that as a headline/name/picture caption. teehee. <3


May is getting closer and closer! :D

was driving, this came on the radio, thought of benjelle. lyrics perfectly mirror the benjelle development, of course from benji's point of view. maybe they could dance to this song. i wonder if benji'll ever put this song up on his ms. maybe someone can do a montage using this:

For The Longest Time - Billy Joel

If you said goodbye to me tonight
there would still be music left to write
what else could I do?
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time

I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
and the greatest miracle of all
is how I need you
and how you needed me too
that hasn't happened for the longest time

Maybe this won't last very long
but you feel so right
and I could be wrong
maybe I've been hoping too hard
but I've gone this far
and it's more than I hoped for

who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time

I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself, "Hold on to your heart"
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
and it's more than I hoped for

I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time



I like this song! :) I looked it up on youtube. Me like.

-Tay :P

I want to get to 1000 before the next season of SYTYCD! :D That would be coolio! SO post any random Benjelle related things and I'll post them!! We must reach 1000!!!!!

Donyelle's bio

or about me. whatever floats your S.S.Benjelle. ;)



Donyelle Denise Jones is a talented and successful dancer, choreographer, director, teacher, singer and actress. She was born July 3, 1979, in Los Angeles , California , to Charles and Mary Jones. She is the youngest of three children in military family. Ms. Jones chose her dance career at the age of six. Her love of dance and interpreting stories through movement was cultivated by her mentor, Broderick Wilson, until his death October 10, 1997. Following Mr. Wilson’s death, Ms. Jones began her formal dance training under the direction of Lara Arnaiz, Extensions Performing Arts Academy in Lancaster , California at the age of eighteen. She studied ballet, jazz, modern dance and hip hop as well as acting and sing. During 2006, Ms. Jones received national attention as a finalist on the show, “So You Think You Can Dance.” She has been featured in musical theatre production such as Hair, Nutcracker, and many more. Ms. Jones taught and directed the dance program at Palmdale High School for two years. She continues to work, train and perform with Extensions Performing Arts Academy in Lancaster , California .

Emphasizing body movement, use of space, facial expressions and costume design through creative choreography define Ms. Jones’ passion.

More Benjelle-ish Poems!

YAY! Thank you anonymous! :]

Anonymous said....

Cinderella

I’m standing on the stairs in a magnificent hall
Wearing the dress that I bought for the ball
It’s long and flowing, sparkling white
My tiara of diamonds shines in the light

At the bottom of the stairs you’re waiting for me
And I gracefully float down for all to see
You take my hand and touch my face
You’re the only one I notice in the expansive space

We’re now dancing in shadows of flickering light
Holding each other close, holding each other tight
You kiss my neck and then touch my face
Then kiss my lips in a loving embrace

Time stands still whilst we are together
Feels so good, it seems like forever
I look at the clock, that cannot be right
But the bells start to chime, confirming midnight

But there’s no need to leave
From the ball tonight
I’ll be with you my prince
For the rest of our life.

- Becci Iddon -

A stranger you were once.
Then, with a gentle look you took my hand.
As our lives engaged,
you lit my life and I held both your hands.
Now that decades have passed,
ours souls have indeed become one.
How fortunate we are
that we have found the love so true
that everyone dreams about.

- Laura Veronica Merodio -

When I'm with you,
eternity is a step away,
my love continues to grow,
with each passing day.

This treasure of love,
I cherish within my soul,
how much I love you...
you'll never really know.

You bring a joy to my heart,
I've never felt before,
with each touch of your hand,
I love you more and more.

Whenever we say goodbye,
whenever we part,
know I hold you dearly,
deep inside my heart.

So these seven words,
I pray you hold true,
"Forever And Always,
I Will Love You."

- Chris Engle -

thought love was just a mirage of the mind,
it's an illusion, it's fake, impossible to find.
But the day I met you, I began to see,
that love is real, and exists in me.

- Chris Farmer -

So going along with the love poem, I found a couple of them, I thought of Benjelle when I read these, I saw love...

hehe! Did you guys see me using those amazingly cool block quotes?!? Heckyeah, you know you love them. :D <3

and omgah.

But there’s no need to leave
From the ball tonight
I’ll be with you my prince
For the rest of our life

that stanza was soo squee-worthy! ♥ ♥

i found this beautiful poem by langston hughes & i got reminded by the benjelle upon reading it. imagine benji reading this to dony. ohhh myyyy...

Reason Why by Langston Hughes

Just because I loves you -
That's de reason why
Ma soul is full of color
Like de wings of a butterfly

Just because I loves you
That's de reason why
Ma heart's a fluttering aspen leaf
When you pass by.




YAAY!!

New Benji Blog!

Sorry if I don't credit anyone for this blog. (Besides b-man hee.) I haven't checked any of the recent comments yet. :P

NEW TOP 10 ON-THE-GO!!!!
Current mood: dorky

Hey Yall...Im too busy for life.....but i have my new top ten for the week....ill slow down in a week or two...for like a day...im just constantly booking myself...grateful for the amazing work!!!

here they go...


top 10 cool benji things of the week:


10. starting the GREY SWEAT PANTS CLUB...the fabric in grey sweatpants...nd im talking the cheap-os btw...has a different consistancy than the rest of the colors...and in grey i mean dark grey...not light eighties grey. all sweatpants are GREAT!!! but grey sweatpants are different....Rita calls them sweatPANTS!

9. Saying the Phrase: "Oh sweet sunshine!" but you have to say it like so "OHHHH
Sweet SunCHINE!!!!" its just cooler like that.

8. as people on cell phones walk past you while you're walking past them....speak very boldly to them as you swiftly walk by and say " I was on TV!!!!" its fun

7. its cool to understand that sometimes we need "me time" and we're not being selfish for it. im planing my ery first real...by myself...knowone knows where im at vacation.....it might be next year...but its gonna happen...i might just lock myself in my apartment and not tell anyone. hide my car and turn off all lights!

6. real estate investing...OH YEAHA!

5. when you're envious of someone for wearing something cool or for having something you don't remember this one thing " THEY POOP...AND THEY'RE POOP SMELLS LIKE POOP...AND THAT"S GROSS!!!"

4. the song " I like the rain the most" by Joe purdy..and basically all his music.

3. knowing that a music video with west coast swing in it is number in almost all corners of the world....pretty darn cool....

2. SWAZZ...its my own style of dance that im starting to teach...i smell a DVD for my solo dance crown a brewing....

1. Farting...you know sometimes...when you're all tense and stressed..and maybe you didnt like your food...and you know that everyone does it...so why not let it out loud and proud every once and a while eh? i admit it...there...id like to see if any of you are also proud of your passing heritage....that its okay to break wind. just as long as you're not putting people down wind from it.....lol man im nuts...

love yalll a reall blog is coming asap...also new coolio pictures coming very soon!!! they are tiiiiight!!!

goodnight...
benji

I Have An Announcment To Make

Hey guys, I've been putting this off for a while now, but I suppose it really should be said.

By now, I'm sure you've noticed that the bulk of the posts over the last month or two have all been Taylor's. In fact, due to my riggorous study schedule, some of you more recent readers only know her, and not me. However, to those of you who remember the Golden Days of Tayoose, when our hearts still believed that our Beloved Benjelle were having a torrid affair, when none of the original Benjelle Familia had jumped ship, when we spent all our free time searching all the sites we came across for videos, pictures, and gossip... I owe it to you to make this official.

By now, you've probably guessed that, for the time being, I am leaving this humble blog I began, and leaving it in the more-than-capable hands of Co-Owner Taylor, my lovely Pumbaa. I doubt many of you will care all too much (It seems as though nearly all of you would rather Taylor have full charge, anyway), but I will be coming back for those who do. I'm just taking a break for a few months... Most likely until I get out of school in late May. I plan to stop in periodically before that time, as I have been doing, but I probably won't post very often (There isn't really anything of any interest right now other than Benji's blogs and pictures, anyway, and Taylor gets to those before I do because, due to the time difference - We pretty much live across the country from each other - she gets home before I do).

Just to give you a vague reason for this (Other than those two points I have already made): I go to a college prep highschool, so I pretty much have to constantly be doing homework, and I have a whole slew of personal problems that have been progressively building up throughout the year. It's just too much to juggle.

Just know that I love you all (ESPECIALLY my original Benjelle Familia, though many of you have long since departed), and it's been really hard for me to come to this decision.

Love to all as I sign off for a while...

~ Moosey ~

yay tranjelldi!

I don't think that this video got posted before. Or maybe it did......I really don't know. :/ but I do know that alex and billy fought! ahh. And thanks to omcraleigh for the video! =]

CELEBRATE YOUR FLAWS!!!
Current mood: optimistic

Howdy Guys! im Gonna Be Two Busy in the next couple of days to actually blog...so i decided to do my weekly blog about my TOP 10 today at 2 am. I just got back from a photo shoot in Newport Beach for Image magazine...Ill let you know when its out...its models are myself, and a very special someone that you all know VERY WELL.

Life is crazy, but GREAT! Im loving my work and the challenges at hand. I have great people in my life right now that I know God put them there for a reason. Dancing is so much fun and I love training and teaching and performing...my foot is feeling much better. not going full full out...like benji:BRITE crazy on it yet...but i can definatley get by and im hoping to go full out by the end of the week. Ive been doing a lot of choreography lately and its been some of the best stuff i feel that Ive been inspired to do, so thats a good sign that thru all the classes i teach and take and the new art projects im doing are rubbing off! Im a firm believer in leanring and acquiring as much knowledge in ANYTHING to make me a better and more understanding person and dancer.

Okay but today, the Top Ten of the Week might just make some people who fantasize about lil' ol' me think twice.

Today, I'm pointing out TEN PHYSICAL FLAWS that i have that Ive learned to like about myself and laugh at as opposed to hate myself for them!!! We all have em' somewhere or somehow...here's a very select few of the plethora I have!!! ;P



10. My BIG HEAD: its big! i was born sunny side up and the doctors pulled me out. on my newborn pics i had the huge E.T. head thing going so my folks put a hat on me...baseball hats usually never fit...to this day i always wear odd hats...its not because my head is shaped like ET anymore, just stuck to it which caused me to be a lil more creative in what i wear...hense my big head helped me to wear unique stuff...

9. My CROOKED KNEES: my knees are slightly inverted more than normal knees....so to appear that they are normal, Ive always had to dance more turned out then anyone...just to look regular...which has caused my to be able to show turn out, even though i never knew the importance of it in swing dancing...but the there a big importance to it in solo dancing which i have embraced recently...so cool blessing in disguise!

8. my BUBBLE BUTT; yeah yeah...I always hated it that I didnt fit into pants as easliy as some...but the BENJOOTY's cushioning as helped prevent serious injury from the likes of Christina Aguilera and Tyra Banks!!! so yeah big bonus!!!

7. My CHICKEN WINGS: I have extremely flexible shoulders...i can hold a soda can with em when im free of injury and knots. Some say it makes guys look weakly and hunched...I can inflate them out so far that it looks like i have pretty worked out latts..as well as i can puff my chest and extend the wings and it looks like i have a barrel chest...very good for paso doble, and or for freaking out friends with a lil diddy i call "dead bird" hahahahha

6.My Crooked NOSE: yeah so from looking at me straight on...you cant really tell my nose is crooked...but if you look from under me...my nose goes completely in a 20 degree angle to the right...its kinda funny! i think its cool. i dont think if i was to have a perfect face and be proportionate in perfection that i wouldn't feel the need to be real and like me in the inside and be a good man to a good lady and/or try to dance so much and just get chicks, and also by it sticking out more than normal i have more room to smile...lol im down with that!

5. my POOFY STOMACH: sure I have an eight pack at times...but the funny thing is...that i breathe in and for most the air is locked in the chest...mine goes down to my stomach...so i can stick my stomach out like a 9 month old mother with triplets...its kinda cool to do it once again for friends, belly dancing hehe, and shakira imitations!!!

4. HERBIE and KIRBY: My GIANT BIG TOES: Yes...my two big toes are absolutely bigger than my other toes by a long shot. they are twins except KIRBY has bad luck and has two scars on him and was rcently sprained...but hEALS FAST...my buds still make fun of my HERBIE and KIRBY, but hey...the wider the better...they help my spin my butt off and balance a lot better...plus they are so long and big i can fold them over and walk on the knuckle of them..even jump...once again cool for scaring friends and such.

3. My TEETH: I had the most horendous time having my braces as a teen. I had them on for 5 years, and they were never done...my ortho never finished the job and did a rotten half way point to add to the fire. I had them taken off in protest...I just didnt care anymore. But oddly enough...they had slid kinda together in a organized fashion during my mission. The jawline is messed up. When i take a bite out of a hamburger the lettuce stays half way between being eaten and not...my top and bottom rows of teeth dont touch till you get to my molars. its hilarious...but its helped my bust out the "apple bite" smile when performing...hense adding a lil uniqeness to my facial expressions...lol!!!

2. part 2: MY SMILE: you know...i dont know if i have "A SMILE" ...more like 20 of them...so yeah they vary all the time but its cool. I used to hate my smile. I thought it made me look ugly..now its my prefered weapon of choice! I now like and welcome that I have a gummy smile...most teeth bleaching commercials use HUGE smiles...so thats cool...unique is good! Also, one side of my smile goes down at the dimple, the other goes up...coolness because my dad's smile goes up, and my mom's curves down...and i have both...i take after both i guess!!!

1. MY PAWS: okay...Ive always hated my hands...I could never be a hand model...i have stubby fingers and big palms...which my mom since birth has called my PAWS...and when i was younger, if i tried to hold them into a cup shape to hold MandMs or water or something...i had so much pudge there that they rolled off em!!! that was like till i was 12!!! lol...and although i hated it then...telling that story to someone when i dating while were holding hands, always makes their hearts melt...oh yeah...i pimp it hardcore!!! hehehehhe





So yeah, in closing I believe there's always a WHY and reason to ones imperfections or flaws...they make us hman and beautiful and human and unique. Dimples are concidered awesome by so many people...angel kisses they call them...but in reality they are a birth defect in the formation of the face...coolness!

Well that pretty much sums it up....CELEBRATE an imperfection or two here...or ten whatevs!!! cant wait to read them!!! Also I encourage people who may be having issues with how they look...find the reason behind the why.

Much Love, God Bless,

Benji

thnx nonerz!

Hi it's Nony!

Here's some stuff from twop.com.

I was at the Entyce workshop this weekend with Tyce, Donyelle, Heidi, Benji, Natalie and also Chris Jones (a hip-hop dancer from You Got Served). Allison and Ivan were supposed to be there, but they said Alli is doing High School Musical 2 and Ivan also had some other commitment.

Anyway, they had a Q & A with the dancers and they were asked who their favorite judge was. They pretty much all had nice things to say about Nigel. They said even though his comments could seem harsh, they knew that Nigel was trying to give them constructive advice. Also, they said he was much sweeter off camera.

As for the workshops - Benji and Heidi taught a 'swing jazz' workshop. It was a dizzingly fast combo to a My Chemical Romance song. By they way, props to Benji for being a real trouper. His foot was in a cast, he had fallen and injured it while teaching a class a couple days ago. He could have easily dropped out of teaching the workshop, but he forged ahead - plus he even performed in the teachers' recital at the end of the day, with a swing routine that he carefully choreographed around his injury. And during the Q & A, he said he was trying to live up to his title of America's Favorite Dancer. Benji said he was taking even more classes now than he did before the show, to get even better and more versatile. That's why I voted for him - that kind of attitude, dedication and caring about the audience really impressed me and still does.

Natalie taught a contemp routine to a slow song and it was pretty. Chris Jones did hip-hop (and he's a fantastic dancer, by the way). Donyelle taught 'street jazz', it was hip-hop but with some jazz moves. She was absolutely the best teacher there. She broke down every move carefully and the class did very well keeping up. Tyce taught a Broadway routine to Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman'. Benji is dancing with Christina in the vid of that, as we know. But that vid was very retro 40's swing stuff - jive/lindy hop. Tyce's routine had a couple of jive kicks in it, but otherwise was more of a jazz/pop thing with a little urban feel, more like the kind of stuff you see in a typical music video. Donyelle took Tyce's class and he had her dance solo to it, she was great.

I found a bunch of videos of Travis, Ivan, Allison and the oh so pimped Jamie teaching and dancing at NYCDA this year. They're really good, so I thought I'd share.
Travis's Combo with Jamie assisting. Done to Sinking Feeling by Roisin Murphy and I'm obsessed with it.
Travis's Solo
Allison's Solo Amazing.
Travis, Allison and Jamie doing Travis's combo.
Allison and Ivan Hip Hop I can;t find them in the video, it's the combo they taught, with everyone on the floor.

MY BOTTOM 10 THINGS of the WEEK...lol
Current mood: creative

Okay so i thought I'd switch it up a bit...but b4 you go reading on...make sure you check out my new photography label "CLK'DbyBNJI" you might see a few of them floating around on mine or lacey's myspaces....okay
today i am doing the top ten things that are my pet peeves...




10. sore feet! (im dancing again, no more crutches! just my foot is friggin' sore!!!)

9. okay...another thing...(this is so much fun playing the negative role!) when you receive ;P a comment or a letter or a text....and someone writes "your cute" or "your adorable" or "your amazing" ......YOUR WHAT's AMAZING?!?!?!?!?! hahaha guys its
YOU'RE=you are... you're this, you're that....there ya go...this is MARTHA's most abominable pet peeve!!! lol(but if you made that mistake...its totally cool im a horrible speller!)


8. misleading foods that say they're healthy but really are loaded with bad stuff!!! those are bad....restaurants as well.


7. when Golden Spoon(my favorite place) runs out of cake batter-flavored frozen yogurt!!! thats the worst!


6. when you're doing a performance and your music skips!!!


5. "the in between" stage when you are trying to grow out your hair and its not quite there....i end up looking like a cross between Buckweat and Justin Timberlake when i start dancing.


4. wanting to put a song on my myspace but the clean edited versions are usually never available here....bums me out a bit.


3. being too busy for people i really care about...thats a big one lately.


2. health care....nuff said


1. okay im at airports all the time...occasionally visiting the bathrooms to take care of business....here's a gross one...you know guys, when you're in a public restroom...you're washing your hands....then you see a guy just flush and leave without even putting some water on his hands? I really dislike that...and its even weirder to think that most of them look like clean cut business men types....thats just nasty....PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS PEOPLE!!!! lol whats even weirder is when you're boarding your plane and you walk in and he's sitting right there...and he knows you know that he didn't wash and he knows you know that he knows.....thats very uncomfortable!!!!



lol that was my tantrum...hopefully i didnt hurt anyone's feelings...this was really all in fun...new pics coming soon from CLK'DbyBNJI


peace love and SAS
benji
