I imagine the world of competitive ice skating to be an emotional roller coaster ride. Filled with tears. Like surfing, skateboarding.. all the trick sports you are destined to fail far more than succeed.
that is for sure; she had her heart broken a number of times besides the odd bones; it’s a tough gig when you’re a teenager and people can be quite nasty —
Thanks so much! Yes I am happy you got the seasonal reference. Have been editing day and night the past 3 days to get this done for leap day. Finished in the nick of timeπ
Indeed I am. I wouldn’t dare guess yours due to lack of skill. However, I can usually spot Cancerians quite easily because I grew up with two. ‘TOUGH’ is definitely the word! ππ
I am elated you are Pisces and watched this movie. It’s for You then!π
Oh Wow – That is a LOT of water for one householdπ I picture an emotional circus, and much negotiation and diplomacy required to survive frequent meltdowns.
In that case, many thank yous, monsieur EF! π€ π₯ Interesting analysis of the 4 water signs household. I don’t know that I have enough time to break it all down for you here. π But let’s just say that things are much better now than they used to be.
I guess you just told me you’re a Libra, right? π€. I wouldn’t have been able to guess that. However, now I suspect that balance and thoughtfulness are keywords. all wins! π₯π
That rink reminds me of the one the fire department used to make in the park at the bottom of the hill I lived on when I was a kid. Just a lot of uneven ice and snowbanks. Best skating rink ever! βΈοΈ I could skate pretty fast, but, dang, skating backwards … I could never get the hang of skating backwards, let alone of jumping and spinning.
That neighborhood rink sounds fun. I have only skated a few times in my life. Lol Once with my first crush (age 6) A girl with 5 sisters who’s father’s name was Norbert. In 5 minutes I must have fallen 50 times. Had to be stripped and blow dried in the girls bathroom at the Cincinnati Zooπ
Apples and Oranges. For my art I steal the music and the cinematography. My contribution is merely in marrying the two in a unique, and yes, personally relevant way. It’s a matter of patience and luck to find a combination that works. And I was satisfied with how well these two joined, lyrically. Thanks again for watching and for the kind words!

Wow! That is good! Love the way you somehow synced the music with Peltonen’s moves as if there was some harmonious dance between the two.
Keep it up!
