It's Just The End Of The Road

*hums the song to herself*

Well guys, I think you may have guessed that this was on the way... It's certainly a long time coming (And even longer in that I was supposed to post this over a week ago... Whoopsies). And thus marks the end of our beautiful little blog.

That is not to say that we have any intention of deleting it - This has been far too important and meaningful an epoch in Taylor's and my lives for us to bring our selves to take it down entirely. But we do intend to disable the comments soon, and merely preserve it as it is right now.

Not that anybody really comes here anyway - I'll be surpised, in fact, if anyone ends up reading this post. We've been up here in cyberspace for about a year and a half now, far longer than either of us ever expected to last. We never even thought we'd find one reader, let alone all of you who have come along for the ride with us through this wonderful journey. Some of you may remember just how awestruck we were when we hit 100 posts... And 1000? If someone had told me we'd make it that far, I would have "shrimped" right in their face (*meaningful glance to the readers who have been here long enough to know what that means*).

The spirit of Benjelle... La Benjelle Familia... They live on within us still (As corny as that is). These last two summers have been the best of my life, and I wouldn't trade them for the world. We've made friends who we'll never forget... Friends so different, and yet so much more alike us than virtually anyone we know in our own home states.

And so we bid this blog adieu, but you, my lovelies, we shall never forget.

If you like to get in contact with me, go ahead and mosey on over to the fanfic site, where I still spend plenty of my time. And if you look in my siggy on there, my MySpace and Facebook are linked, as well. And I'm sure Taylor would love to keep in touch if you'd like to talk to her about the best way to do that.

This post can hardly do justice to all I need to say, but for now this will just have to do: Benjelle, La Benjelle Familia, Jes'Von, and Los Jes'Von Junkies (If any of you are reading this)... You made me believe in love. And for that I will always be greatful.

Peace, Love, and that Muppet-Driven KKD Truck!

Last night of the tour

*le sigh*

Hey

(See Above)

HOLY SHRIMP!

Mkay, I have, like, two seconds to post before I have to dart off to work on homework I'll never finish, but hottdamn!

Look at Ivan's MySpace... ARE HE AND JAIMIE A COUPLE!!! *Ivason-loving heart is crushed*

And there are a few semi-shippy Benjison pics on Benji's MySpace, but the Top Friends and such say otherwise.

Whoa.

~ Moosey ~

So today...

I saw Brian Gaynor on Ellen. ^^


The End.

ATTN. ALL SARA AND JESU´S FANS!

[I'm frantically doing homework right now, so I'm just copying and pasting this from my thread of the fanfic boards]

I'm going to see the tour on November 18th (Gha, why so far away?????), and I'm sure you all know by now how much Sara has inspired me, and how much I'd die to meet her, yada yada yada. Buuuuuut... I'm chicken shit . So, as a little incentive for me to actually talk to her (Though I'm convinced I'm gonna faint), and a way to try to include those who can't go, I thought I might compile something to Sara (And Jesús) from all of us. Now, this isn't me trying to beat down the Sasha shippers, by any means. I'd love to be able to have everyone write something to all their favorites, but, as I said, I'm barely gonna be able to walk and talk, and I don't even know yet whether I can stay for the meet and greet. But if I have a legitimate reason to stay (To give this to Sara), and only one person to track down, it's infinitely more likely. You can write it to Sara/Jesús/Jes'Von... Whatever you want. I'd make it just to Sara, but I know that I have plenty to say to Jesús, too, and I bet some of you would love to. So yeah, there's that. I was thinking it would just be a book compiled of everything we want to say to them. And I was thinking that maybe we'd each have our name, picture, and signature by our message? I dunno, let me know you thoughts.

Basically: It will be in a photo album, with all our messages inside, along with our pictures, and signatures... If you want a blend you made to be included, I'll probably have a page for those. And if people want their montages put in, I will either link it on the page where their message is, or, if you guys can give me downloadable versions, I might put them all on a CD. Sorry that it's jsut for Sara and Jesús, but I don't know how long I can stay, and so I don't want to make any promises about getting the message to other contestants who I probably won't get to see. Oh, and I know I said this is to include those who can't go, but I'd love to work in as many fans of Sara and Jesús as I can, whether you'll be seeing them on tour or not.

Peace and Love!

Yeah!

I can't the embed code. I viewed the souce and blah but I still can't find it.

Sara Tap Dancing???

While some guy beat boxes... Amazing



~ Moosey ~

Stuff.

..Excuse any random misspelled words...mispelled..?! Or incorrect marks of punctuation. It's late and I haven't gotten my Kevin Jonas fix yet. =/ That makes for a very delusional Taylor.

I know I haven't posted here in a while....but to tell you the truth I don't think that I can start posting regularly until like the end second marking period. =|


But anyway, my sister and I were watching Disney channel [because we are obsessed with it **Speaking of Disney..poor Vanessa--but that's a whole different post] aaaand we were watching a Corbin Bleu video. And we think that one of the backup dancers was Dominic. Maybe. Maybe not. You see for yourself. :]



Oh, and here is Donyelle's latest bulletin:

Date: Sep 9, 2007 5:06 PM
Subject: I AM TAPING VIDEO BLOG TODAY!!!!!!!!!!
Body: Hey everyone,

I know it's been a long time and I've promised a video blog. Well I am taping it today and it WILL BE UP IN A FEW DAY.

You will be hearing more from me, I promise. I have some things that I'm working on that will make sure of it.

See you soon and thanks for your patience .

Donyelle Jones

But yeah, as I said, please don't be upset that we haven't updated in a while. I've basically vanished from every online site besides pac sun and myspace. And AIM. But...that's not really a site, I guess. But uhrm. Yeahhhh. I'll try to update more instead of like once a year. 0_0 I know that the readers don't want this blog to die, and neither do we...we meaning Hannah and I.

GAH. I'm babbling. So um, comment and shout on the shoutbox and do cool stuff.
I'm off to drool over the Jonas Brothers.

-Taylor :P

Please Help Me Make This Video!!!

Hey guys! Oh my God, has it really been that long since my last post???? And this one's not really going to be that satisfying for you, either...

Well, you know how, a few months ago, I really wanted to make that montage of all of us dancing? Well, it obviously fell through, since VeeVee was the only one who sent me a video, and her's wouldn't even open on my computer... But now I'm going to try to make it happen again, and I'd really love your guys' help.

Now, I DO want to make this just for the heck of it, but it's actually for school, too. I missed a couple days of dance (Yes, I'm taking dance now *spaz*) when I was really sick, so I have to do a little bit of make up work. It can basically be anything I'd like it to be, so long as it involves dance, so I thought of this.

I know there's a good chance it will fall through again, so I do have a back up plan, but I'm posting this on the fanfic site, too, to open it up to all the friends I've made in the Jes'Von Junkies, and I'm HOPING that that will help me gather enough clips, because I REALLY want to make this.

I know I originally said that I'd send it to Benji and Donyelle, and I still can if you want me to, but I really just want to make this for the heck of it, and I'll be ecstatic if you can contribute.

So, for any who didn't see my original proposal, here's the only thing you have to do: Just video tape yourself dancing (ANY kind of dance. You don't even have to be a dancer - Just do something funky for me if you don't think you can do anything else), put it on your computer, and email it to 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 > (If you're going to send me a video, please let me know on here, and tell me about when you can get it to me by, so that I don't make the video before recieving your clip). I can open .avi, .mov, and now .wmv on my computer, so any of those forms will work.

Thank you SO much to anyone who decides to help me out!

~ Moosey ~

Whoa...

Okay, I just found this old interview with Jesús... Apparently he worked with Dorianna Sanchez (Seriously??? Botox disco lady??) in the Circus?? COME AGAIN?? Whoa...


JESUS SOLORIO

JESUS SOLORIO, like so many other dancers in L.A., was a home town studio star who is now learning the hard realities of L.A. Correspondent Suzi Miller Fuentes first met him several years ago at Class Act Studios in Central Clifornia. Jesus settled in Hollywood two months ago.

Suzi: Tell us how you came to LA.

Jesus: I first came out here a year ago and while taking classes, I went to Janet Jackson�s audition just for the experience, and I made it to the second cut. But from that audition, I got called by an agency.

SMF: They saw you at the audition?

J: Yes, they gave me a card and asked me to call. But I didn't ....

SMF: Why on earth not?

J: I needed to find out some things first - I wasn't really ready yet. I went back home to Paso to figure it all out, and then I got a call from Doriana Sanchez who was putting together a circus.

SMF: How did you know Dori?

J: She came and taught a dance class at my home studio. This was years and years ago. and my teacher, June Greenwalt, mentioned me to her. So, she was putting together a Latino Cirque du Soleil and she thought I might be good for it because I'm Hispanic....not the circus itself, but a promo for it. That was a two day job, and the next day, I went to the formal audition for the actual circus. There were about 20 people - it was by invitation only. Then I got the call and she said I was in, I got the job!

SMF: How did you feel?

J: Very, very happy! It was called Circo Fantastico. Dori told DDO Agency about me and they came to the circus and signed me. This time, it was right. They started sending me out as soon as the circus ended.

SMF: What auditions did you do?

J: Men In Black, Disney Cruise Lines, Pepsi, Radio City Music Hall ...

SMF: How many auditions do you usually have? J. On a good month, maybe four a week, on a slow month, maybe one every two weeks.

SMF: How do you deal with it when you don't get the gig?

J: I just know it wasn't meant for me. I don�t put myself down or take it personally. I know there�s something out there that will be right for me, and I will shine in that.

SMF: How do you support yoursef in L.A.?

J: I work a regular job ushering at Mann�s Chinese Theater.

SMF: What an historically exciting place to work! How did you get the job?

J: After the circus ended, I moved into an apartment with my friends. I looked in the papers but didn't find anything. So I went out on my own to different theaters and stores asking to fill out applications. I just kept submitting applications for things I knew I could do well. Mann�s called back the same night I turned in the application. It was good timing.

SMF: How do you have time for auditions?

J: Right now, I work nights so it gives me free time in the day for auditions. It's hard though because requesting a schedule doesn't mean I'll get it.

SMF: What do you like about LA?

J: There are a lot of opportunities here. It's also that you're free; it's a big space and I feel free when I go out because I'm on my own. I walk down Hollywood Boulevard all by myself just thinking and feeling free.

SMF: What do you think are your advantages here?

J: Well, I can dance .... some people say I have a good look ... my sense of humor and hyper energy can be an advantage; sometimes people like to be around that. Hmmm. I'm nice, which can give people a good feeling, the feeling that I'll be a good person to work with. I'm very cooperative and I like giving energy out to others.

SMF: Your disadvantages?

J: I'm short. Usually choreographers want taller dancers.

SMF: Do you see any way your height could ever be an advantage for you?

J: Some singers are shorter, and my height could work for me in that situation. Having shorter dancers behind them makes them look taller. Also for commercial purposes I can read younger.

SMF: What are your goals?

J: I'm going for a lot of goals at one time and they all connect. Right now I'm considered a dancer, but I want to become a dancer/choreographer as well as an actor. Since I'm out here, I'm pursuing it all. I'm coming up with choreography ideas to try to put together a reel and I�m writing down all my ideas. I don�t want to sound full of myself, but I have a good feeling about jmy choreography because I�m blessed with a strong imagination. I�m also writing a script and sending it to a director I found in Backstage.

SMF: What advice would you give young readers who are thinking about coming out to L.A.?

J: Know that you have the strength to come out here and make it happen. Know that you�re ready to commit to your dreams. Know that you�re strong enough to be put down and not take it personally. Know you have the confidence and the ability to believe in yourself and what you�re doing. Just be smart. Also, it�s good to have an attitude where you know you�re good, but don�t let it look or feel cocky. Just know it and show it in your dancing. Try to develop an attitude of love. Show love in dance to let who you are shine through.

SMF: Any financial advice?

J: Learn to budget your money VERY well. You might find yourself at some point with a bunch of money because a job just paid, but don�t think, OK, I�ll pay rent and then go shopping...don�t think about the money you have left as spending money; spend it on food and resources you really need.

SMF: What about finding a living situation?

J: It's very expensive. In the paper there are always people looking for roommates, but I think the best thing to do is go to dance studios because there are always signs posted by dancers looking for roommates.

SMF: What did you do at your hometown studio to prepare for LA?

J: I thought a lot about how I would budget my money, and how I could prepare myself for this other world. I made a list for myself, it was Be Confident, Always Smile so your inside can shine through your outside, Budget your money, Get a job right away, Be prepared for put downs and rudeness, and just think and don't worry.

SYTYCD or High School Musical

Mmaky, so my sister and I are huge fans of High School Musical... And by that I mean we mock it mercelessly and have had an amaaaaaaaaaazing parody planned for months (If we ever really make the video, I'll post it here). But yeah, so the second one premiered tonight, as you may or may not know, but she was going out, so we taped it, and just watched it now... And let me say... Loooooots of laughing... It's seriously like a two hour Old Navy commercial. With people dancing in the desert. And infinitely more cornyness than the first one. But my sister and I officially have a gajillion new inside jokes (i.e. "His pants are there to keep his legs from...fusing.") And ooh, ooh! Okay, so, because it was on tape, we were messing around with the speakers, and it started playing the sound for a design show on the channel the TV was set to, so it was, like, two southern voices speaking rather perfectly to the mouths of Sharpay and Ryan, and my sister fell off the couch... And then it was talking about superb countertops, and how she just loves him so much... And, literally, we were dying here. And we spent the entire time hoping for SOMETHING to make it not so Disney-friendly. I was so desperate that I swear to Buddha I heard her say, "But what about the drugs?" in the song where she's dumping him for being a bastard (The people in these movies are too damn forgiving).

But, yeah, so the point behind this story of our mocking is this:

Jaymz was in it! First Allison, then Sabra, now Jaymz?

Jesús!

teehee

Peace and Love!

~ Moosey ~

CONGRATULATIONS SABRA!!!

Okay, so I don't have time to type up an actual review *fcuking homework*, so I'm just copying and pasting what I said in Ora's thread on the fanfic board.

OH MY GOD, WHO WOULDA THUNK IT THAT AMERICA WOULD ACTUALLY GET IT RIGHT (Of who was left)??? Though, I've got to say, when Sabra and Danny were standing up there, I was like, "Oh shit, I don't know who I want to win!" I would have been ecstatic for either, but I didn't want either one to *not* win.

Anywho, um, LE JES'VON ON THE TOUR - AND I'LL BE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, so when Sara came on for the Disco, I was noooooooot happy (Though I was pleased to see that they gave her a more sturdy dress this time - phew). In fact, I believe my exact words were, "WTF??? That is sooooooooo not the best Sara dance!!!" I mean, I love that dance, but I wanted some goddamn Jes'Von, or at least WCS/Jazz/Argentine Tango... And then when she came on again for WCS, I was freekin' happy to see her again, and to see that dance, but my hopes of getting a Jes'Von were ever diminishing... And I fcuking screamed when the Vagabond Cabaret was picked!!!!! GHA!! *ahmazzing*

And I am awefully glad to see that the judges seemed to be able to *actually* choose their favorites this year. Other than the Dancey and Sabreil (Which also may have been their favs, but I suspect they encouraged somebody to pick those), they didn't spread them out to include everybody. In fact, Sara got three of her dances chosen as favorites, which leads me to believe that the judges love her (Want to screw her) as much as we do (Though only Jesús... And Moosey... Fine, and the other Semi-Bi Skanks... Are permitted to).

God, that was amazing.

*le sigh*

Though the Catigel dance is gonna give me nightmares for years to come.

*shudder*

Peace and Love!

~ Moosey ~

Vids

Thanks nighttiming for these vids!

Sabra and Lacey's fox dance. I loooved this dance. I think it was really good...I dunno what Nigel was talking about. >[ Sabra was OBVIOUSLY a little fuzzy animal of some sort. Gah.



Neil and Danny contemp. My sister basically killed herself over this dance and the annoying clapping because it was too great. haa. loser. XD Almost as much as "AWW. YUHMMEE?." haha. *hip twisting* XD --insidejokes-- But this was a really really good dance. GO MIA!! ...and I think that Neil should consider wearing eyeliner all the time. *drool*



Top 4-Broadway. Uh. Sexyback was better. =| But Neil and Lacey...O_O whoa.


Gah. Neil is so amazing. He has so much chemistry...he's like Criss Angel...or Corbin Bleu. There is no way you can't like him and his slightly dorky ways. =] -COOLKID-


WOW. This was insane. Made me smile. :) Danny is a champion. =D ♥


The beginning reminded me of Heidi...the ending was so Benji-esque. uh. but I really like the middle. =P
At least her dress was longer this time. =D And her song was cool.


SABRA FTW!!!!



[I'll post the rest when they're uploaded]

Moosey's Top Four Review

Okay, so to say I'm done with my homework would be the biggest lie EVER, but my dad's working on the Calculus problems that I couldn't get no matter how many times I did them, and I fell asleep reading my text for APUSH, so I'm having my dad print out the shorter version (I can't open Word documents on my computer) for me to read during lunch. The point is, I've hit a, like, 5 minute lull, and I have to do something to keep from falling asleep before I'm done with Calc. Plus, I highly doubt I'll have any more time to write this tomorrow. ANYWAY, here's my review =).

Sabra/Neil Hip Hop: Oy, I hate it when the judges tear the dancers apart over what is likely precisely what the choreographer demanded of them. Shane was shaking his head in the audience, so I doubt that much if any of the criticisms really had anything to do with them. They did what he choreographed.

Sabra/Lacey Jazz: I don't know what the Hell the jidges were talking about, because I thought that was amazing. And, um, quoi? You couldn't understand the story, Nigel? If anything, it was almost too straightforward for me. Even without the explanation, I would have gotten it. And beyond that, it was some damn hard choreography. There was so much skill involved in it, and so much control required... God, I never thought Dan would seem like the most sane on the pannel.

Lacey/Neil Lindy Hop: Obviously, that dance was damn hard, and I commend them tremendously for what they did. But the judges shouldn't have praised them as though it had been perfect. There were several moments where I noticed a move not pulled off all too gracefully, and that should be acknowledged. Yes, you can point out how difficult those lifts and flips were, and how well they did considering, but don't pretend it was better than it was, just to sway the votes. I've seen Lindy Hopping (My sister has done some), and that just wasn't the best.

Danny/Neil Contemporary: Quoi? A Mia Michaels', you say? I would never had guessed if they hadn't told us, but I loved it just the same. This is when Danny's technique and Neil's tricks really shine, not to mention the brilliant performances they both put on. Every little detail was immensely entertaining for me.

Danny/Lacey Viennese Waltz: Nothing can ever beat out an original VFW for me, but this was pretty damn amazing. I loved it, and I loved all the adorable Dancey interactions.

Sabra/Danny Cha Cha: Pretty damn sexy. Loved the interactions here, too, especially since they're my two tops of who's left. I'm exhausted, so I can't remember the specifics of what I thought watching it, but I remember liking it, lol.


My Ranking:
1) Danny
2) Sabra
3) Lacey
4) Neil


Who I want to win: SARA! Haha, but of who actually *can* win, I'd go for Sabra, 'cause that girl's amazing, and it's about time a girl win it. But I would also be quite happy to have Danny take it (Those two are tied for me, except for the fact that a girl should get it, lol). And I could accept it if Lacey or even Neil got it. I don't think they should win, but they're all four phenominal, so it wouldn't be the most devastating of inustices (Like, oh, say... Sara going home) for one of those two to get it, instead.

Random comment: I loved to see that Danny and Neil were there *snaps for emphasis* instantly in the clip of Dominic dropping Sabra on her head during Hairspray. *hugs them*

Another random comment: WTF DAN??? Sabra was indisputably (Though I'm sure a ton of you will dispute it) carrying Dominic, not the other way around. *hides from Taylor*

Anywho, there's my far shorter than usual review.

Time for more Calculus.

*stabs self*

Le Lamest Post Of Everdumb

Okay, guys, I'd love to post a review (Unlike last week, I actually have some inspiration to do so), but it's 9:00, and I have at least 4 or 5 more hours of Calculus and APUSH homework to do, so... I'll try to type one up tomorrow when I get home from school? Sound good? Good.

Peace and Love (JES'VON COMES BACK TOMORROW!!!)!
