More footage from Tennessee! We spent less than a week there but had an awesome time and I made a bunch of new friends ❤ I filmed a little bit of the hoop action that was going down on Friday at the MTSU campus, here's the video!
.
Courtney runs the hoop club that gets together every Tuesday and Friday. If you're ever in the area, do go dance with them! I was positively surprised to see so many guy hoopers there too. It's about time! Well Murfreesboro is clearly pioneering in overall radness and chillness. I've never seen SO MANY hoopers, skateboarders, dreadlocks, trick bikers (I'm sure there's a more accurate name to call them) and various hanger outers playing all types of musical instruments at a university campus in the USA before. That must tell you something :D

PS. I couldn't upload anything on YouTube today, it was working way slow, so let's see how this works (embedded from Facebook, never done this before). Maybe click on the 'HQ' for better quality.

Top 3 Cancer Causing Things FYI & Junk Food MP3 Download

I talked to a stranger again. This 50-something gentleman in the library, Mark, sits opposite to me working on his laptop. A pretty wide screened laptop, looks expensive. It turns out he's an old hippie but has "reformed on the outside". He's visiting from northern California where he lives and grows vegetables. And pot, if I heard correctly. He kind of whispered that one. He told me of a study made by the American Academy of Scientists. The top three cancer causing things in America are:

1. Tobacco products.
2. Non-organic food. (!!!!!!!)
3. Living in a new house, apartment or mobile home because of toxic gases from the chemical formaldehyde which is used in glues (in plywood for example), the foam in chairs, and in many other places.

(These are of course physical things, I think there could be a lot said about psychological causes of dis-ease as well.)

He showed me a few tricks on how to download stuff quicker. He was downloading Pride and Prejudice. Aren't those, by the way, the exact two things that sometimes stop me from talking to strangers although I feel like it? He liked the stickers on my laptop. He became inspired to put a sticker on his that says 'No GMO'. A great idea!

Wookiefoot stage show. They always have hoopers too.

There's a SUPER AWESOME song called Junk Food by Wookiefoot that touches on these topics. Download it here. My gift to you. Merry Christmas. Hope Wookiefoot won't mind. But it's too good for not everyone on the planet to hear it. "OMG it's the GMO!"

Unexpected Turn While Hooping

I made a little video of what happened just the other day. I've been busy with getting us all the way down from Boston, Massachusetts, to North Carolina. I have to go to a US Citizenship & Immigration Services office in Charlotte for giving them my fingerprints (yet again) and for taking a picture of my face (yet again), for extending my greencard for 10 years. Yeah it looks like I'm not going anywhere :)

Ok friends, enjoy the video - it was a lovely hoopy day! The song is "What You Mean" by Wookiefoot.
