Yo quiero bailar

I woke up this morning and realized that it has been ages since I last danced. I never really thought of myself as much of a 'dancer', but I think it is one of those things that you don't think you'll miss until it's gone. And, I miss it. I can't even remember the last time I danced. Although we've gone out a lot to pubs and bars, we have yet to hit up a dance club. I figure since this is the summer of doing what I want - when I want, I think I'm going to make it my mission to get my groove on tonight.

There's something special about dance music here. It's not that it's different from the music back home, I think its just easier to tolerate when you're in a European country. Back home, it would be the machismos wearing their sunglasses in the club with their Ed Hardy t-shirts and designer shoes getting their groove on to some techno song while drinking their 14$ vodka Redbull; but in France there's just something way less cheesy about it. It's completely acceptable. These people aren't pretentious, they're not getting down to a song because it's the 'cool' thing to do. It's all they listen to here. House, Techno, electronica and Dance are the only thing you'll here around these parts. Well, that and Michael Jackson.

Here's one of the most popular songs in France right now... thoughts?


So that is my goal for the day. I'm going to go out tonight, and dance the night away...to techno music. And what's more important, is that I'm gonna like it.

You go girl, dance the night away! ;)

BTW, that's a sick track! Kelly Rowland should really consider hooking up with Armin Van Buuren and Tiesto and sticking with trance & progressive, forget R&B...
