BREAK UPS

Only think of the happy times get it?

ABD's Breakup

        Well, we've had a few people leave us since our existence. We had a girl breaker at first named Jennifer (B-Gyrl), but she had too much other stuff to do and didn't have enough time to learn how to break, so she only breakdanced with us once and is no longer a part of ABD. Then the biggest upset came when Wilson (Bizzy Legs) said he didn't want to be affiliated with ABD anymore. At first everyone was like, "What the hell. Why?" It seems like everyone except me saw the reason why. I wasn't being a good friend to him and I guess he couldn't be in a breaking group where trust and respect is not properly represented, so he bounced. Later on like a few weeks later, his brother David (Psycho) left the group for his own personal issues, maybe also dealing with the fact that his brother just left the group. And I was contemplating leaving too. But leaving something I truly believe in, yet which I also brought it down. That confused the fudge out of me.
        I just heard that Cheng is leaving to start off a new group with Wilson. Best of luck to them. Good thing about us is that there is no initiation or one to get out. If you feel like leaving, you may do so. We're not going to force you to stay, we're going to really try to persuade you to stay, but if you feel that you don't feel the ABD magic anymore, then you have to do what you need to do.
        So like Tupac said, " My homies might squabble, but we won't fall down ". We have our incredible highs and humbling lows as a group and I wouldn't have it any other way. We're sad to see them go, but we know that they left for an important reason and we respect their decisions even though we might not understand those reasons completely.

I needed a cheerful image to get rid of the sadness.

LD'S Breakup
        I was going over my old word files and I noticed I wrote something about the group LD's demise, but I never finished it. Much like real life, it was just forgotten. Everyone stopped hanging with each other because certain people didn't like other people and dragged people onto their side causing a rift in the group.
        ***This is what I originally wrote a year ago, (12/00 ish)*** " I thought I'd have something worthwhile to say about this subject, but I really don't. LD was just a name for a dance group for a one time only event for aypal at Oacc. Without the aypal connection and the preference to not perform at Oacc, it's better to start up anew with a new name instead of LD, that would only bring back memories of something that has long passed. Sorry Lupe, but even if it is saved, would it still be worth? Like when you say we should really do this again, but don't mean it and the other person knows that you're not gonna do it again, that you're just being nice. LD sounds like an extention of ABD also."
        If your memories are already perfect, why would you want to go back and change it? Life is about going forward, not looking back because the hardest part of growing up is letting go of things. No one has talked about LD for about two years, so it's only now ok to bring up this subject.
