Just a thought...

WYSIWYG

- What You See Is What You Get.

Won't it make life much simpler if we were to interact with people based on this principle rather than worrying about their hidden agendas, thoughts, intentions, opinions?

My therapeutic hobbies include staying up till 3am and creating some random calligraphy stuffs with the thoughts that pop up in my head...

#sentimentsofsankofa / #standingontheshouldersofgiants Repost @scribesandvibes ・・・ We'd like to take a moment to pay homage to Fayard Nicholas and Harold Nicholas... The Nicholas Brothers! Enveloped in show business since birth, Fayard taught himself how to sing, act, and dance by watching his parents and the great black entertainers of the Harlem Renaissance. He then taught his sister and brother; Fayard, Dorothy, and Harold performed as The Nicholas Kids. After Dorothy opted out, The Nicholas Kids became known as The Nicholas Brothers. Fayard and Harold grew up in an era of Tap Dance Legends, however, they redefined Tap with their spectacular showmanship and signature choreography. The Nicholas Brothers were jazz in motion, they traded syncopated notes with Duke Ellington and Cab Callaway. They did the Lindy Hop with tap rhythms. They emulated Mr. Bojangles, Sandman, and the early tap legends with the grace of ballet. They would leapfrog down staircases and arise from splits without using their hands. The Nicholas Brothers redefined tap dancing with their fusion of acrobatics, tap, and ballet. However; we salute Fayard Nicholas and Harold Nicholas for exemplifying excellence throughout their careers. Fayard was 18 and Harold was 11 when they received their big break; yet, they broke beyond the stereotypes of the time by performing in ties and tails. The Nicholas Brothers were the epitome of "young, gifted, and black." Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly credit Fayard and Harold Nicholas as the best dancers they've ever seen. -#scribesandvibes • #therebirthofcool • #TheNicholasBrothers • #TapDance • #BlackHistoryMonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CpAdHTpAOMW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
