When I Grow Up...

So, today was the worst day ever. Really..EVER! I was praying for a tsunami, earthquake, or maybe, say a smaller-scale-lower-death-toll-scenario, a power outage to strike my work, so I could retain any sort of sanity I had left. But no such luck. So when I hit that "Clock Out" button and flew out to Gidget (the automobile) I couldn't believe I had actually survived. Starving, stinky, and a teeny bit snippy, I was in no mood for friends. So I declined on the invites to "hang" and posted up on the couch for a date with myself. First order of business being, So You Think You Can Dance.

I'm sure you have watched, or heard me ramble on about the show. But seriously, to say its amazing... well, that wouldn't even scratch the surface to its greatness. Let's be honest here, I'm a TV nut. I record like one million shows, but the only shows that have been saved permanently on my DVR are episodes of this little jewel. (Okay, okay.. and "Out of Sight" starring my one and only George Clooney... Seriously.. IN. LOVE.) But every once in a good while, I watch those old episodes, and I get chills every stinkin' time. The audition episodes are never my fave. Too many crazy people trying to get their 15 minutes.. But wow, when I plopped down on my couch and pressed play tonight, I had no idea what I would see.

I attached the clip because I think this is something worth seeing. I watched this and bawled like a baby. And then I watched it again. And again. And again.. I think you catch my drift here. For a black soul like mine, I couldn't believe how much this little number did a number on me. But then again, who am I kidding. This show has made me cry before. Dancing is one thing near and dear to my heart. It has the ability to send a powerful message and cause such strong feelings and emotion, all without saying a single word. And this guy, well, he was no exception. After watching him dance, I felt awesome, and happy.. and completely forgot about my terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Maybe it won't have the same effect on you, but I still think he's cool.. so just watch it.. Geeeez. Haha, I kid. ;)

Enjoy my friends.. and don't stop dancing.



I so wanna be him when I grow up... Here's hoping! :)
