And watch like no one’s dancing.

For some reason this cracked me up.

That’s a nice aphorism. But in a world with phones and YouTube, it’s simply not believable that “no one is watching”.

I tried to dance like no one is watching – but it wasn’t easy and kinda painful to dance the cha-cha while picking my nose

i’ll be posting this one to facebook.2 of my nieces loves to dance.they are also really good at acting and singing.in the past 20 years,i’ve been to a lot of dance recitals,plays and ballets.now they are working,driving and going to college.they grow up fast!

They have textualized the concept of dance!

In that town, I knew no one, and that made me very self-conscious about dancing.

Someone should a been watching!

As soon as you get your degree in modern dance you can become a sign spinner at Great Cuts. Remember your brother, the over achiever, is a barista.

To me, their collision doesn’t look as painful as their skinniness.

I’m fond of the Kathy Mattea song, but my wife and I have a couple of small throw pillows with those sentiments, and I think they’re ugly. Haven’t been able to talk her into getting rid of them yet.
