The Story of Oshimbo

| 2 Comments
RossDianeDopplegangers.JPGI have been watching a lot of movies lately that make me feel emotional about love: Finding love, messing up love, growing old with the one you love, losing love, losing loved ones, etc.  Because of this, I thought I'd tell the story of how I became an Oshimbo.

(If you were wondering, Oshimbo is a combination of both our last names.  We jokingly said we'd be like Mayor Villaraigosa of Los Angeles who made a new last name when he and his wife married; however, ours was a silly name and not one I wanted officially on documents.  I do like it for websites though)

OK, here's how my recap/reviews work:
  1. I always DVR the show so I can start/stop as many times as necessary
  2. I watch the performance and pause so I can write my own critique and prediction for what will happen without being influenced by the judges (Jidges if you're Cat)
  3. I watch and recap the Judges' responses and decisions (compare against mine)
  4. In the end, I will decide who are my favorites and predict the bottom 3 (once we get to Top 20 competition).
My favorite dancers from Los Angeles & Seattle:
Jason Glover (I think that's his name...he danced after Devin Oshiro)
Phillip Chbeeb

Sammy Ramirez
Kuponohi'ipi Aweau

WOW - I only liked guys tonight...weird.

I also loved Nathan Trasorio, but because he doesn't qualify for this season, I didn't add him to my list.


Here's how I chose these dancers...

twitter-logo.jpgI am sure other people wonder the same thing because some days I wonder, "How in the world did that person find my twitter account and what made them hit the FOLLOW button?"

I'm not a celebrity, I'm not a "genre" twitter account, I'm not an expert at anything, nor am I super funny, perverse, or witty.  Yet, I have almost 200 people who are currently following me.  There have been more, but obviously they figured out I am a fraud and stopped following, but for the ones that stay...why?

The other day a friend sent me a Direct Message in Twitter asking for recommendations for new music.  She sited The Swell Season and Lily Allen as her preferences. I actually get excited when someone asks for my opinion, but also get a little fearful that they'll hate everything I suggest.  However, the positives to be able to share something new with someone are always more rewarding than any trepidation.  Who cares if they hate it; we don't all have to like the same stuff.  But, if they fall in love with at least one thing, I am happy.

www.mrs.oshimbo.com...can we talk?

I realize that when I created you, you actually expected that we'd have some kind of meaningful relationship filled with hours upon hours of heartfelt conversations.  However, I believe I duped you into believing that was my MO.  You see, while I have every intention of meeting you half way in this relationship, for some reason, I just get too distracted to remember you. 

I know, don't cry, it's not you, it's me.
