A Rant

I have cried, just a bit, but enough to get me angry, because a guy I know has taken up poi. Now having assumed you just looked at the link provided, you will see that it is simultaneously dangerous and sexy (à la driving very fast down Italian country roads at night) and THE MOST RIDICULOUSLY FUCKING STUPID THING I'VE EVER HEARD OF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*ahem* I cried because what if he gets hurt???? He hasn't gotten his fire ones yet, and is on LED ones for practice, which from the photos look very cool, but on one of the most recent occasions, in his words: "the poi fell to the ground cause i nailed myself in the mouth...ouch"

Ouch in-fucking-deed. Who does that as a hobby??? And he was saying I sounded like his mother, but in that case, I agree with his mother, it's dangerous and stupid and he'll get hurt and I can't have that happen!! I mean what if that falling poi the other day had been ON FIRE??? What then?? Ouch. Jesus. I mean. Like. For fucks sake!!!!

He is literally playing with fire. I mean Jesus. Do you need to say any more than that?? He is enacting a metaphor for something you're not supposed to do!!! Stupid boy. I mean honestly. Why is he doing this to me? This is ridiculous childish behaviour and I won't have it!!!

*watches video again*

Ok, it is quite cool..

Still not safe!!!! Bad and dangerous and scary and unsafe and cool-wait what's that word doing there? Shoo! None of your pro-poi madness here!!!

See this is what happens, no blogs for months then many at once.

Sucks to be my homework=/

To be fair flaming poi aren't as dangerous as your driving example.

He's just having some fun. If you really want to start panicking remember that about 5 people a year get electrocuted by their alarm clocks.

As long as he's goes about it in a safe way nothing will go wrong.

Yeah, he got hit. THAT'S WHY YA PRACTICE so you learn not to.

In the last three weeks I've set myself on fire three times and they were all from those little nightlights! If you spend all your life worrying you don't really live.

But think of the cool videos hahaha =P
