p.s: I love Tango

What would you do if Tango wouldn't existed tomorrow?

Would you go for salsa? rumba? zumba? or you would be in mourning forever?

I don't really know what I would do...and plus, I am the easiest case since I am dancing for a year an a half...How about maestros? how about performers and teachers...?

Lately I didn't really dance but I always had Tango in my mind...The idea of "I can always dance tomorrow" makes me to focus on other things that I have to take care of in my life....

What would I do if I wouldn't have Tango tomorrow...Still thinking....

One of the reasons why I love tango is that It makes me think...or I want to believe that Tango makes me think...I think Tango is more then steps, a life style...

I love Tango, I am moving out of my apartment at this moment, carrying stuff hating my life at this moment, but when I think of Tango, I start smiling and forget about the negative things in my life...It is that simple as that for me...

but What would I do if there is no OXYGEN or DIVO

if your LAST TANDA was really your Last Tanda.............................

LAST TANDA

I started writing a movie called Last Tanda... It is about Tango but from psychological perspective...Hopefully I will finish it...

A middle aged gentleman who lost everything in his life and how he found himself in Tango and how LAST TANDAS are taking everything from him...A deep analysis...How many women he loved, how many women ditched him... and how he can't live without Tango...A true love drama...

A movie that people start changing their ideas of Tango in their head... A movie that will make Tango dancers happy to be understood by other people...

Have a wonderful week....

p.s: I love Tango

but again...what would you do if there would be no Biagi, Di Sarli or D'Agustino's Tres Esquinas....

eat...pray...tango

Another night that I didn't dance and watched a movie (it is not more than 10 in the last year)...

Eat Pray Love...

The movie was absolutely bad and I didn't like the way it was directed and written..Most people told me that the book was really good and the movie was average anyway...

I didn't like how she decided to divorce in 10 minutes at the beginning of the movie or how she met another guy right away...

However, I think the movie had great moments and that was a result of the book...

The movie made me realize that I have absolutely no idea what to do with my life...I seriously don't want to think because it causes me to have headaches....

I decided to have TANGO as my guru (KETUT in the movie, so funny without teeth) and ARGENTINA (Buenos Aires) my India...

I think if people think what is good for them rather than believing something because everybody believes in it, it is better...

Everybody is different and people have other ways to focus on things...

I never wrote anything in my life, but tango makes me

I was never patient with my self, but tango makes me

I was never social, but tango makes me social

I was never open -minded, but tango makes m
e

I can go on...

It is obvious that Tango makes me to be more productive... So if I go to India, probably it won't help me...

Tango is good, however, it is not perfect...

There are also things that are not matching with Tango

Balance is not matching with Tango...

But now I am trying to have a balance with my life and tango.. so I can enjoy more dancing Tango...

I start realizing that I don't have to dance Tango every night, but if I think of Tango every day, I feel better than dancing every night....

As a result, Tango -which is totally unbalanced activity (you start changing your life style)- is teaching me how to be balanced with my life...

I am kind of lost with my life right now, and hopefully, Tango will teach me how to live my life...Again, I don't have to dance Tango but I think Tango...

I will EAT PRAY AND TANGO

TANGO & NON-TANGO...

I went to Santa Barbara this weekend with my non-tango friends... to get some fresh air and change my depressive mood...

There was even a milonga on saturday, but I didn't go in order to experience a night out with friends and to see If I missed the night life scene (since I feel that I lost my dedication to tango...again)

My night started with the whole explanation of how we dance tango to my friends.....

My friends are little bit frustrated because they don't see me often, and they hate tango because of that and make fun of it....

Then, they want to learn what social dancing is but unfortunately they have no idea and they are clearly underestimating the power of Tango....

and the catch up night started with their dozen questions...

I couldn't even explained my friends the difference between milonga(the song one) and the event one...I gave up to explain after 15 minutes...They don't get it...

and then they jumped to "dancing with the stars" which I have clearly no idea what it is...( a little)

and then, we got couple shots and my favorite question came up...

SHOW US SOME MOVES......TEACH ME...

THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON...

We went to two different bars and drank etc...

I enjoyed it however...

I kinda realized that I should keep tango to myself and try to balance things out...Because this way, I don't want to hang out my friends... and the distance keeps growing

the worst part was that,

all women seemed not attractive because most of them were waisted...I think Tango makes women powerful and I like that a lot...

rather than

can I get your number?

where do you live?

which car do you have?...

at some point, I was thinking about the creepiest guy or woman in tango, and they even seemed to be pleasant...ahahahahaha....

Not Really...

At the end of the night, I was really happy that

I have Tango in my life

But I think that Tango should be remarked...Most of the people have no idea what is going on and many people are missing this incredible way of living...Most importantly, they have the wrong picture of Tango...

I don't like that...

Getting Excited for BsAs


I am getting excited for Buenos Aires...

Unfortunately, I can't have a hobby. I have to be good whatever I do, and that makes me to suffer rather than enjoying myself...
I have been suffering for awhile...

Last month, I decided to live in Buenos Aires for a year, and then I reduced it to 6 months and now, I am down to 2 months...I think I will really decide over there how long I will stay...
But I am going for sure...My feelings are changing hourly like a woman would change her decisions...

My plan is to leave LA at the end of September when I get my green card and visit my family in Istanbul for a month...I missed my family so much and I am constantly missing my grandma...




and I will hopefully arrive to Buenos Aires in November 15 ish...

I don't think I will fall in love with Buenos Aires because many people told me it is like Istanbul...SO I think I know what I am getting into...So I am pretty sure I will be comfortable over there...

I am also excited that many friends will be there and we will have an amazing time and unforgettable experience...

I will be back in LA in 2011...
