Five Iron Frenzy:Where Zero Meets 15

Five Iron Frenzy
This song is performed by Five Iron Frenzy and appears on the album Upbeats And Beatdowns (1996), on the album Proof That The Youth Are Revolting (1999) and on the album The End Is Here (2004).
My car broke down in Arizona, have to
ride the bus again, at ten-o-clock on
Tuesday night, with thirteen cents and a
broken pen. I put my backpack on the
bench, tell two people I don't smoke,
see the cop across the street, he thinks
that I am selling dope, I could have
walked another block, to get away from
the scene. Why does it always come to
this, where zero meets fifteen?
And so I gave my thirteen cents, to the
man who peed his pants. He passes out
and falls on me, I watch my change fall
from his hand. I see the lady next to
me, holds her baby black blue.
The junkie gutter-punks keeps asking,
where I got my new tattoo. What does
it matter anyway, thirteen cents or all I
own? How can I ever save the world,
on cup-o-soup and student loans?
I want to try and save the world, but it
never goes that way.
God I don't know what to do, down at
Colfax and Broadway.
Now the man with no shoes on, says I
don't know how to play. He says I
fumble all the time. He thinks that I am
John Elway. I put my face down in my
hands, water wells inside my eyes.
What do I have to give them? Does it
matter if I try? I can't stand to see you
suffer, I try to intellectualize, a formula
to end you pain, it doesn't work, God
knows I've tried.
Sometimes my cup is overfilled.
Sometimes I'm too afraid that I'm going to spill.

practiced the weave in waltz with DP (again for the millionths time) and had another breakthrough - just by taking my step diag centre rather than along line of dance I can create a big shaping opportunity. now I have to see if its legit or not...

Go for it, they never said I could not. Well let me change that. The head of the Pro / Judges organization came up to us and said we had been a hot topic at some of the meetings over our unorthodox, shall we say, way of doing some of the moves. We had learned to tweak some of the moves and timing from a guy that ha...
Like I said, go for it and develop a style that will separate you from the others. Since you are tall manipulating some of the moves in this manner will show you off much better.

hi there R! I'm starting to review all our steps for more interest. Lets face it, Gold is rather boring. We are debating about trying out in prechamp just for the hell of it - even if we only do gold steps. Did you ever dabble before deciding to move up?

in samba (hm, in all latin dances) use more inside edge of the foot. it will force you to make small steps which will than improve your balance. ;)
it is hard to tell like this because i have never seen you dancing. but if you have a video just send me.

Which weave e? Methinks the direction in which you take your step might have more to do with where you begin and where you want to end...?

Good thought. weve from PP diag centre. I just looked it up and I think I 'discovered' the way its written in the book. Isn't that amazing? Apparently it works... :oops:
[I seem to be doing rather a lot of :oops:s of late...

Got some good work done on tango today. Both my regular bronze stuff, and my showcase. One of pros from studio saw me practicing and pointed out a couple issues he had seen. Both were things I'd already written down (just this week actually), as needing fixing, but he gave me some good tips towards fixing them.

I am very excited to get to practice tomorrow to apply some of the things from my coaching sessions the last couple of days. So much good work to focus on!!

solo practise of slip pivots. They've gotten sloppy and I had not realized how many there are - all over the place.... Also fall-away oversway - there are all sorts of intricaciesd but hard to practise by yourself ;)

As I continue to learn, I come more to the realization that practicing by self is quite a different feeling altogether. Even as the man, which theoretically is more upright and less shaped (in ballroom). Ladies, you probably feel more so, given that a lot of the shaping is led by the man. I must wonder how you can ...
Can't defeat the laws of physics. :)
Time to get one of them dance partner robots that Japan invented. :)

I used to think the same thing - obviously one can practise a leg action or a swivel etc - but I though it not possible to do larger segements of routine. However, what I discovered is that I was relying too much on the lead for ballance and basically downloading my own responsibilities to him. The more I get into ...
