You know you're a Capoeirista if :
чтобы прочувствовать юмор над быть капоэйристом ))))-You wear your abada to bed.
-You have road rage fantasies that end with a well timed martelo.
-You plan to name your first child Bimba, regardless of what gender it turns out to be.
-You wake up in the middle of the night shouting "Iiieeeee viva meu mestre camara!"
-You not only sing capoeira songs but also practice your ginga in the shower.
-when you start sleeping in queda de rins and negativas.
...you do passa de lado to move through crowds
...you drop something and when you bend over to pick it up you have to finish the role
...if you've ever done a macaco in a public place (i.e. downtown, church, McDonald's)
...you throw kicks over the chairs in your office at work
...every time you pass an open grassy space you tell everyone who'll listen, "that would be a good place for a roda"
...you sing capoeira coros over pop songs on the radio (to the dismay of your friends)
...everytime you pass a mirror, you stand in ginga
...instead of jumping turnstiles, you esquiva and move through them
...you give people vingativas instead of hugs
...you keep a few sets of maculele sticks in your trunk (just in case)
...you have a strip of grass missing from you front lawn from practicing au sem mao
...if you've ever gotten a berimbau for a birthday or Christmas
...you've ever worn abadas under your street clothes (just in case)
...your dog is named "ginga"
...you watch TV in a handstand
...you've used vacation time at work to travel to a batizado
...instead of giving out your phone # you give out class flyers, "It's easier to reach me there anyway."
...you no longer budge when people call you by your real name (I screen calls like this...friends call me Montanha, salesmen call me Mike)
...you got all p*ssed off because Mestre Morais didn't win a Grammy
...you break furniture running to the TV if you hear anything that remotely resembles capoeira (the first time I heard that Mazda commercial or the Pepsi one...zum, zum, zum, capoeira jumps over the couch)
- Every time you open your mouth to speak your friends ask "is this going to be another Capoeira thing?"
- Your friends ask you if you have done anything this weekend (not including Capoeira)
.....if you do a parafuso in your sleep.
...your cell phone ringer plays Parana E каюсь
...if you know (off the top of your head) a website with an extensive list of "you know you're a capoeirista if's..."
-If you've broken a bone attempting mariposa, mortal, folha seca, etc.
-You wear your cordao all the time because you don't own any other belts.
(correction)...when you've broken a bone attempting to learn mariposa/folha seca etc, AND you are still tryin' to learn them
-If you ONLY use the blue, green and yellow push pins in your cubical at work...............
-you stay up til the wee hours of the morning drawing pictures of capoeiristas (im guilty of that, last night in fact..)
-any time your friends see someone do a flip or breakdance they say "hey thats capoeira!" and you go off explaining to them how different capoeira is from breakdancing or gymnastics.
-you sit on your couch watching home videos of you and your friends doing capoeira for hours at a time
-you randomly do aus, macacos, and mortals at the most random of places
...... if you find yourself wondering if Jesus and Ghandi were in the roda wether it would be regional or angola
...... if your thinking of getting a 100% genuine tatto on your feet because they've become some form of leather
...... when security guards look at your funny because they catch you on camera doing movements when no ones looking
..... when you can't give someone a hug without guarding for a banda or cabecada
...you daydream of doing Capoeira on the moons of Mars (and curse the d*mn weather conditions on those moons for not letting you)...
