Intensity
Some people around me are questioning my intensity. I just want to tell people the reasons for my recent “get down to it” attitude.
All of my close family supports SpandyAndy, but they keep telling me to get a real job or a more stable job. They worry about my finances the most. My other friends think I am going too hard core and sound like a nut now. Let me tell you what thought processes are going on in Spandy’s mind.
Performing SpandyAndy is what I love to do. The feeling when dancing around and interacting with everyone gives me a rush. Making people laugh, dance, or even just shocking them and showing them what another human can do is so much fun!
I want to make SpandyAndy my career. I want to be a good enough performer that I can make a stable income and travel around spreading my message. Now, nothing in life comes easy, especially dancing for a living. That is definitely one of tougher job markets. So if I am going to make it I am going to have to give %110 of my mind/energy and effort into it.
It’s January, the new year. The weather is cold and the rain clouds are out. I am not going to be able to perform much SpandyAndy or really make anything from it. What I can do is train. I can work on my dance, strength and flexibility. When February comes and the Olympics arrive I KNOW I am performing everyday for 17 days straight trying to show the world SpandyAndy. If this is my dream and there is nothing else in the world I would rather do and the only way to make it would be to give it my all, why wouldn’t I? If you watch movies like “Planet B-boy” or any other dance shows you can see how much hard work it takes. You have to push your body to the limits and then some.
If you are a friend of mine and you keep calling to hangout or to talk please respect the fact that I am super dedicated to my goals and dreams. If I ever get famous or make it performing as a living I would love to bring you to my shows, but right now you have to respect all the work I am putting into this and try and understand this is my dream and one shot in life. If I don’t give it 110% now, I’ll never know if I could have made it.
Love you guys!

Honestly man i’m going through something similar, it’s not easy when everyone says that you should be doing what the rest of the world is doing.
I say go for it man. Take you passion and make it into something, when you look at advance physics there’s a formula that says matter can be turn into energy and backwards, so take your dedication for dancing (which is amazing btw) and turn it into the life you want.
PS: One more time by Daft Punk better be in your repertoir for the Olympics, cheers

Hi sweetie,
It’s your mom.
I love what you’re doing. I feel proud of your dedication. You know I hope you make it but, in any case, it’s really great that you’re working at it with such enthusiasm and such a positive attitude.
Love you.
