Walking and Dancing

On Tuesday I spent a lot time downloading some podcasts. Podcasts are some what like a radio talk program except they are mp3s. Nowadays you can find all sorts of podcasts online for free. The good thing about podcasts is that you can things that your interested in and download them. They ranging in all sorts of categories you can think of; anything from self improvement to learning a new language.

That evening there was a little party at a friends house. He lives way too far away so everyone just wound up staying there. It was pretty chill, a laid back gathering of people. And apparently I have perhaps a minor talent in giving messages, who knew.

Yesterday I spent most of the day either walking or dancing. This was pretty exhausting day so I woke up about an hour ago, its 3pm now. I walked everywhere from the super marche, to the sorting goods store, to the bank. Afterwards I just walked right out of the city and found a random and awesome hike that went over the hill and trough the woods and even to a grandfather's house. I met a a friendly man from the region and we exchanged a few words.

Basically after hiking forever I realized what he told me was indeed true. That I would hike and come back on the same trail that I was on. I thought that this hiking trail actually had a destination. Silly me, It actually turned out to be endless, at least as far as I could tell. By the time I got back home it was already dark out.

I had some dinner, took a shower, attempted a meditation and woke up 10 minutes past the time I was supposed to meet up down town. I rushed out of the house and finally made it, a little groggy.

We eventually went to the dance place in town. I danced so hard that I ruined my shirt with sweat. This left my shirt in a nasty and unappealing to my appearance. I decided to pop a mentos, figuratively, (if you have no idea what I'm talking about then you need to watch a mentos commercial) and I soaked the entire shirt in the bathroom sink, voila! the shirt was uniform again albeit a little wet.

I then continued some dancing and eventually we change locations to the actual club, club. Which I like to think as a cross between a swamp of drunken idiots and and a place where one can dance to their full potential or any range of that combination.

Anyway it was a lot of fun. I still have a lot to work on with my dancing. Right now mostly the ability to boost the groups energy. I can out dance most people, the only limiting factor is maintaining that balance between getting too sweaty and not. It is actually a big challenge, yesterday seemed to be exceptionally hot.

Eventually the music stopped and my friends were in dire need to finally get home so we left. I got home at 4:30 or so and finally got some well needed sleep.

Another fascinating tale. I've decided to start living vicariously through you. Starting in 13 minutes from now.

Why wait when you can start instantly?

I think the proper solution to this situation would have just been to dance topless, preferably in a cage. Am i not right?

It wasn't the topless in a cage kind of place.
