I know, the title sounds like a possible sociological study paper.
In a sense, that's what it was...a sociological study.
Last night, I headed out of the house around midnight to Whiskey Dicks, one of the country dance halls in El Paso. I had been wanting to go for a while but I never did because I had no one to go with me...so last night, I pulled out my courage and dusted it off, got all gussied up and headed out.
Two hours was what I spent at the country dance hall...of course, the word country isn't the best way to describe the music selection...there was some hip-hop, R&B and other such popular club music mixed in with the country. Definitely not Couplands.
Did I dance, you wonder?
No, no one asked me. But I did my next favorite thing...watched people while they danced.
Several interesting things that I observed during the two hour watching people dance session...less than 70% of the people on the dance floor actually knew how to properly two-step. That made me miss Lee Kothmann and Karl Winkler.
Another thing was that apparently in El Paso, people are crazy about the big group dancing stuff...you know, like the electric slide and such.
The other observation was that at some point (usually during the hip-hop sessions), the dance floor almost became X-Rated.
That was what got me thinking...
Is dance a form of expressing oneself or simply a mating ritual to show off vertical moves that can easily be translated into horizontal moves?
I myself have always thought of dance as a form of expression...that's why I love to dance. Because I can express the rhythm and music that I feel in my soul. Besides, I can dance.
Anyway, that's my social update.
As for work update...I was placed on a three-three schedule...which means I had yesterday off, as well as today and tomorrow...what punks.
On the upside, there's the news of a pay raise floating around the work place...a whole 25 cents!
Man, gotta get a new job.
That's my work update.
I am currently on chapter five of my study book, right on schedule. The thing is...I have to teach myself to read all over again. Yikes!
That's my educational update.
No boyfriend.
That's my love life update.
I got to see my Jaden last night, along with sharing cheesecake and good conversation with Stephen and Krysia. I am also sending messages and wall posts back and forth with Becca at this moment because chat doesn't work on her sister's computer. Oh! I got to chat a while with Stephanie, whose just an acquaintance that happens to be a life long friend of my Becca's.
So that's my friend interaction update.
Family update?
Mom's been diagnosed with a mild case of sleep apnea and her CPAC machine was delievered yesterday afternoon. I didn't see her this morning when I left so I didn't get to ask her how she slept.
My dad....not much.
My brother...still in Iraq, looking for another avenue concerning the Compassionate Reassignment.
My sister and nephews....in Alburquerque.
My brother-in-law...still alive.
There, the family update.
Well, everyone, adios!
