Dancing
Wednesday, October 1st, 2003 by joelI hate dancing.? And not just because I can’t do
it.? It just seems so popular and yet so pointless.? I really don’t get
it.? Dancing has been part of every culture since time began.? There
must be something ingrained into the human psyche that signifies the
dance as the ultimate celebration of humanity and life.? But apparently
I didn’t inherit this idea.
If you’re going to learn to move your body in a
rhythmic way with skill and finesse, why not learn something useful like
sword fighting or martial arts?? Sure, if some girl asked me to dance
with her, I would have to pass.? But as she’s dancing with that other
guy and twenty ninja warriors bust into the room ready to humiliate the
guy and steal the girl, suddenly I would step forward, strike a pose,
and take the ninja warriors down, defending the girl’s honor.? And THEN
who is she going to fall for?? The pathetic loser who could dance with
her, who is now huddled in a corner with urine-soaked pants, or me, the
guy who could defend her from ninja warriors?? I think the answer is
clear.
