parkour, and how it relates to me

parkour (pronounced par-KOOR):

in the strictest sense, as defined by david belle, "parkour" is the art of moving through your environment as swiftly and effectively as possible using only the human body. more broadly, it might be defined as the discipline of developing the physical and mental capacity of the human being while training to overcome obstacles.

as some of you may know, i consider my greatest skill to be city-walking. city-walking is all about efficiency, awareness of your surroundings, and purpose-of-task. as this video demonstrates, movement is much more of an art form than many non-expert city-walkers (such as my girlfriend) would have you believe.
