Throwback Video: Breakin’ (There’s No Stopping Us)

Gotta love this throwback video (opening theme song) from the movie “Breakin’.” Some of y’all are too young to memba this.  LOL, I sound all old, huh?

I ain’t dat old, darn it.  Anyway, true bloggers/writers never run outta ideas.  Bloggers gotta keep it movin’, and with 5 to 10 posts a day, it’s my job to keep the blog interesting too.

I go with the flow.  Sometimes I marvel at how I come up with an idea for a blog post.  That’s one of the things I love about blogging.  It’s not just the writing or the stories or the articles or whatever…

…sometimes it’s just the creative process and/or the way you come up with a blog post that makes it exciting and I love that; the spontaneity I mean.

So…would you like for me to share with you the sequence of events that led to this post?  LOL.  And why I’m up writing this at 3:24am? LOL.

Well, let’s just say I’m excited about all 100 of you who now subscribe to my daily feed to this blog.  Thank you.  I’m also excited about the hundreds of new people that visit my blog every day and the thousands of posts that are read here each day.  I hope you’re enjoying my blog.  As you can see by now, I’m a very eclectic type of guy, lol.

Anyway, the blog still continues to grow every day and I thank God for that.  Believe it or not, this blog is filled with nearly 2000 articles and posts!

But I’m now interested in taking this blog to new heights, got some surprises for ya so stick with me.

1. Aiight, so earlier this evening I did this little blurb on my old friend Ricky Schroder.  He’s in this new movie called “Blood Done Sign My Name.”
2. I love to read peoples’ biographies and most of the time, if I stumble upon someone famous, I’ll also Wikipedia them, lol.
3. So I was up in the wee hours (as usual) checkin’ my email, checking blog stats, readin’ up on technology, Internet marketing, blogging, social networking–all that good stuff.
4. I decided to check Google Trends (which I rarely do) for some reason and noticed actress Lela Rochon was in the top 20.  Probably all the new talk about “Waiting to Exhale” I thought.
5. Curious about Lela, I did my research and found out she’s in the new movie “Blood Done Sign My Name.” Ah, that’s familiar, the new movie I knew Ricky was in.  So Lela’s working again. “Good,” I thought.
6. But of course, I had to do my usual “wikipedia search” and found out that before her present marriage (currently married over 10 years to director Antoine Fuqua) she was married to Shabba-Doo.  Shabba-Who? Shabba-Doo, lol.
7. Then I’m like, “OMG what has Shabba-Doo been up to? LOL.  Well, seems, he served as choreographer for Jamie Kennedy’s new MTV sitcom, Blowin’ Up and choreographed Three Six Mafia’s performance on the 78th Academy Awards.
8. But for me, Shabba-Doo (I keep thinkin’ about The Flintstones for some reason) brought back memories of the movie “Breakin’!”  And that song…(singing) There’s No Stopping Us..No Stoppin’…lol.
9. And surprisingly, I just so happened to spot Lela while watching the movie’s opener (see .51 mark and 1:52).  According to IMDB.com, Lela is credited as being an “Extra in first scene (uncredited)” of “Breakin’.”
10. Ah, it all comes together now.

So now you know how this blog post came about.  Interesting, eh?
