After 8 months of blogging, I've decided to shut down my breakdancing blog, Celebreak.net. It was a tough decision but my life in Japan isn't conducive to regular blogging. So I put it to sleep last night.

I struggled to really define Celebreak because it was hard to categorize my posts. Though everything was related to breaking, there was no distinct, unifying tone. Sometimes I'd blog as a historian and talk about breaking's embarassments and evolution. Othertimes, I'd be a journalist with a burning desire to break a story and inform the masses. And some posts were just me thinking out loud...

I'm really just a guy who loves breaking and wanted to tell the world about it. The Celebreak.net domain name will expire sometime this year but the archives will remain alive at http://celebreak.ebunomoni.com/.

Here are some of my favorites posts:

• How did Junior (Wanted Crew) become the Rick Astley of Breaking?
• Interviews with B-Boy Photographers Carlo Cruz and Peter Tsai
• Breaking on the Big Screen: Flashdance
• Breakdancing around the World series (includes Uganda, Iraq, Kazakhstan and many more)
• The film Detours and how it addressed Biting
• The Breakploitation of the 80's and subsequent breakploitation posts
• Planet B-Boy Movie Review
• Breakdancing on College Campuses
• Campaigning is Battling

It's the end of Celebreak but not the end of me breaking. Despite being in rural Japan, I'm still dancing and have even found a few interested students at my schools. And I also have a few other breaking + internet ideas so I may be back on the web soon.
