THE BOOM BOX DAYS.. INSPIRED BY SAL..

THE BOOM BOX DAYS.. INSPIRED BY SAL..
  Back in the day. way back.. jr high days.. I and many Mayans and south San diegans.. used to walk around with our cassette tape boom boxes ... alot just to listen.. But my click.. like to set up the cardboard for spinning and we would break - pop lock back in the day.. In fact.. I was the school stopper or break stopper.. back in the day,,, Believe it or not I was painfully shy... I mean.. when I danced or performed martial arts moves I was alive.. But other than that , I was quiet guy who like to keep to myself , and stay focused on school.. 
 Now to the dancing,. back then,, I just hooked up with a pretty girl,, no names.. but she was Sweet looking quiet girl,, and she thought the same for me.. until the music came on.. once the music came on, I would light up and dance .. between break along the hallways at Monty Jr.. I would dance or pop lock to zapp band,... Gap band, u name it.. If it had that hook.. i would dance.. I learned from Ken,., a black brother who actually gave me too many props.. he had the moves down. I was a imitator , copy cat. etc.. but I also a actor.. too.. You see alot of times,, a performer , if they act confident in what you do,, people believe you are good.. I was such a ego maniac when i dance or performed martial arts moves.. I was amazing .. so to speak.. I recall one time.. I dance so long My girl and I were late to french class.. Mfr. Kourda . i think was his name... I recall why are you always late..? I would say.. I'm coming from all the way from the locker room.. I think he never believed me.. or he just loved watching me say silly things.. but like i said,,, I would dance to dance , and back then we would battle. or make suggestive even obscene moves to embarrass the other guy,  its funny how i used to pop lock.. it was very aggressive and at times.. confrontational.. Maybe that's why we studied boxing and martial arts too,. My secret to alot of moves was incorporating karate , and boxing moves and made them look like dance moves.. Oh by the way I'm proficient at Filipino stick fighting. so I used everything in my pop lock moves,, in fact I still do,,, Its the secret to the pop locker , if your good at basketball, incorporate basketball moves.. etc.. so.. My style was like kung fu fighting stye. you guys remember that song.. But the fondest memory was wearing the loose khaki pants , with the bandannas rags,, we used to call them and pop lock away.. I know gthe girls love it.. but some of the guys would say mean things,, but it was a outlet for alot of young bucks.. like myself.. the music, the vibe , the attention was more thrilling than anything else,, Too see Young girls smile , flirt and what not is why I disrupted school as one counselor told me.. You cant keep doing this , and delaying class starts,, everyone,, watches your group before getting to class,, Yes.. I was told may times., knock it off,, They would plead with me.. What i did back then who knows,, that was so many years ago, I guess , I eventually calm down.. but during that time, I was the center of attention.. that many of the classmates back in the day,, can recall or not.. But it is a fond recollection ,, dancing and showing off my moves ,, and of course,, at that age, we all wanted to be accepted and liked.. It worked for awhile,, but eventually we all grew up,, and stopped bring radios to school and dancing in the hallways,. but during that span in Jr, high,, I showcased what I have posted on fb.. the past few years.. the moves that held Montgomery Mayans from being on time for class.. It was and still the most fun time I ever had. and If  could ,, go back and re do it,, big time,. Over the top and post it on fbook,, you tube.,., man,, if only we had the social media that we have today, My moves would be forever.. posted for all to see.. oh well.. The memories and the old school tunes are still being played and when prompted ,, I break out ans show the moves of the past.. Throw back Thursday and the boom box days,, we all had memories,,, and we all Cherish them..
