HOLY BIBLE,Purpose Driven Life(anything Oprah says to read lol!)i'M READING NOW... SOME CHRISTIAN BOOKS ON DATING,SEX AND BEING SINGLE BY JACK HAYFORD AND JOSHUA HARRIS. IT'S INTERESTING. "bOY MEETS GIRL", SEX AND THE SINGLE SOUL","fATAL ATTRACTIONS-WHY SEX SINS ARE WORSE THAN OTHERS", "THE BEAUTY OF SPIRITUAL LANGUAGE"HERE ARE SOME REVIEWS ABOUT MY DANCE COMPANY LUX AETERNA: Here's what the critics have to say about Lux Aeterna:"...Combined flamboyant gymnastics with surging modern or jazz dance - components juxtaposed with ultimate flash in Jacob "Kujo" Lyons' large-scale show piece 'Navaras'...." - Lewis Segal, LA Times"L.A.'s Lux Aeterna Dance Company was something else altogether, a septet of capoeira-trained daredevils who strut like Cirque du Soleil characters before launching into flips or holding Gumby-like handstands that make yoga look like child's play. Jaw-dropping? Yes." - Rachel Howard, San Francisco Chronicle"One real misfit was Lux Aeterna Dance Company from Los Angeles, a septet of sleekly buffed and painted. Theirs was an athletically showy but emotionally hard-edged physicality...." - Rita Felciano, Dance View Times"Los Angeles-based Lux Aeterna (a great name for a company) bowed at the festival with Jacob "Kujo" Lyons' Navaras, a seven dancer opus involving sculptural tableaux, body painting, sudden dives to the floor, infusions of Brazilian capoeira and extremely effective lighting." - Allan Ulrich, Voice of Dance"The brawny Lux Aeterna had a slightly different take, merging capoeira with hip hop beats in a more fully-realized work titled 'Navaras.' Colored in twining silver body paint against a blood red screen, the five dancers seemed tinged with the slime of urban dystopia. Less refined than gymnastic, nevertheless, the dancers made good use of their charismatic physicality, and Jacob "Kujo" Lyons' fearless tumbles across the floor, planches and gymnastic flares, while seemingly out of context, were impressive nonetheless." - Mary Ellen Hunt, Contra Costa Times"...Jacob "Kujo" Lyons and Hokuto "Hawk" Konishi exuded nightmare chic as they flipped their way to glory in Lyons' hypergymnastic "One-Winged Angel," with everyone in the five-member Lux Aeterna cast looking menacing in matching his-'n'-her full-body tattoos." - Lewis Segal, Los Angeles Times
