I ♥ Silly A$$ Dances!

13 07 2009

You know, I try to act like I can’t get down with everything. And to be fair, there are a lot of things I really can’t get down with. I could name them, but that might be your favorite and I don’t feel like getting into it. But there are some things that I can’t even front about liking, as foolish as they are. One of those is silly dances.

You know exactly what I’m talking about. The Stanky Leg. The Halle Berry. The Ricky Bobby. The Rack Daddy. Stuff you and I are way too old to do in public, but will YouTube, learn and do with wild abandon at home. Why do I like them so much? Cause they’re fun. And I like to have fun. I don’t mind looking a fool at home with my homegirls until we get tired and then fall over in a heap of laughter. That’s a good time. And cheap. And relatively safe, though the older we get, the less and less safe it is to try these ambitious moves. Now will I take it to the streets? Um…no.

Here’s my point: You better try to enjoy yourself now, because you might not have the chance tomorrow. Do something you fun while you have to chance. Dance with your kids. Dance by yourself. But stop looking like the sky is falling all the time. I mean, it might be and I understand that. But if you get to moving, maybe you won’t get hit. And with that…

Stop, pose for the frame!





(Sorta) Wish You Were Here!

I’m still on the solo-dolo vacay. It was fun enough to do again next month, so protect your neck. I may be coming to your town next.
Of course I learned something (I told you everything is a lesson!), but I’ll share that with you on tonight’s stop/blog. For now, from Montgomery, Ala-Ala-Ala-Alabama (That’s a Jacob Miller allusion), some pictures.

Driving and taking pictures. Safe? No. But nothing fun is. It’s not time to judge me, thanks!

Spreading my wings and flying away.

Possibly, the cutest feet ever in Gulfport, MS.

Keep it clean, keep it classy!
Lots of pics from the Georgia Aquarium. I’ll put em on Flickr or something.

I watched this for a long time.

I love signage. I’m framing this and putting it by my desk.


Awesome Art at the Five Spot in Little Five Points.

Not ours, but it worked. The Japanese paperweight.

“How many more songs did she say?” said Mr. Purple Crown.

I didn’t get a picture of the bands and the speaker. I always feel like it’s weird to take people’s picture while they are doing their thing. But shout out to the ones I remember: Randall (the speaker), Peace, Theodore (they had like 15 instruments on stage and 5 dudes. It was awesome.), The Back Pockets, Circle Machine, the Belly Dancer Red Hiding Hood Lady (I can’t remember her name, but she told me she loved my dress.) and Purple Crown and Purple Crown’s Headache. (HaHa! Sorry!)
