Will you dance with me tonight?

Dear Reader,

I have no been dancing in awhile. I realized this today while sitting in my American Heritage Class. There was absolutely no provocation for this realization, considering our topic of the day was the Great Depression. Anyway, the point is I miss dancing. It is a good time.

I miss ballroom dancing is the real idea. That must be clarified because I dance all the time by myself and with my acapella group. We actually have done a lot of dancing getting ready for the Acapella Jam, where we performed on Saturday. It was a good time.

                                                         
                                                          Richelle and Alan


                                                                             Rhett

                                                           
                                                              Hyrum and Mikaela

We danced our hearts out at the Jam and we have become fast friends. We will definitely have more fun as we continue singing and dancing together.

Like I said, though, I miss ballroom dancing. Especially the Tango. I used to have an amazing time dancing the tango. I attribute my liking to the fact that it is an Argentine dance and I have some kind of connection with South America. Ok...that is a little stretch. It may be because I have only danced the Tango with a small number of partners and I enjoyed dancing with each one of them. One because she was an amazing dancer and she practically led me on the dance floor. My favorite partner unfortunately has not danced very much with me, despite her natural dancing tendencies.

I miss the tango. As the old adage states, "It takes two to tango."

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

Dear Reader, Brad Paisley sings a song about how creating a totally different person when one is on the internet. It is a funny take on how people change themselves to look better on websites like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, or whatever other sites you can think of. It is a song geared mostly toward meeting people for dating. I'll share a couple of my favorite parts. I work down at the pizza pit And I drive an old Hyundai I still live with my mom and dad I'm 5'3" and overweight ... But there's a whole 'nother me  That you need to see Go check out Myspace 'cause online I'm out in Hollywood I'm 6'5" and I look [darn] good I drive a Maserati I'm a black belt in karate and I love a good glass of wine ...
