Feel good Inc.

Dancing is an activity that I thoroughly enjoy, feel completely involved in. Often time the dancing that I do involves a certain amount of lubrication, consumption of alcoholic beverage, usually a few beers, and I'm up and ready to go, but since I've had reason to go to a few shows, seeing people I know play, and not a lot of on hand cash, I'm learning that even a glass of water can get me out on the floor is the music moves me. I've often thought if what I do with my feet as clumsy and unrefined, I let them fall as the will, and just happen to be able to roll, slide with wherever then land. Halloween night I was out with some guys that happen to hang around the apartment complex, one of them Marty, I've had some good conversation with, and he's talked about being a break dancer, but I had never seen it. Wow, what an art, seriously, this is cool shiot. Well, when we stopped at one of the bars downtown he had no problem getting on the floor and spinning on one hand, and other quite fantastic maneuvers. And in turn, I got up and did, as my pal Alex refers to it 'The Zach Shuffle', and it is something that is entirely mine. Well after I slid around the floor a bit, Marty told me 'Hey, man what your doing, that's not far off from being a break move, here let me show you'. So he proceeds instruct me on a move that involves alternating feet back and forth, what would start with to gain momentum in break dancing, I believe he referred to the move as an uprock. Well it didn't take much for me to pick up the moves. So hey, I learned some intro to break dancing....Maybe one of these days, I'm have moves. I danced a bit last night, and realized that I had a better idea of where my feet where going. Yeah it's fun to invoke a look of shock on the face of an unexpected bar patron when I walk up to the dance floor, and just start moving my feet.

mmmmm....I always like the way you dance, however, I WAS raised around a lot of hippies. Just move in a way that feels good to you. After all, wasn't dance one of the very first forms of self-expression?
