I’ve been listening to KDWB lately. Maybe its because it is the station of music played in clubs, and I like clubs. I’m kind of dissapointed I didn’t have the foresight to realize the KDWB PJ party was going to be mostly girls in Lingere, and I should have made a more proactive effort to get tickets, which I guess were selling on Craigslist for $15 or so.

All that aside, the Dave Ryan Morning Show asks the question today “What have you recently learned you never realized before”. For example, a guy said that he never realized the sun’s direction relative to the moon is what casts the moon’s shadow, he always thought it was the earth covering up that part of the moon.

I’d say the most interesting thing I’ve learned is it isn’t just you that can’t dance, nobody can dance. Everyone sucks at it. The more you pay attention to yourself trying to not suck at it, the worse you actually are, because you are making deliberate movements, and that is not how you dance. Just go with the music, and try to act stupid, and you’ve got the dance down. Whatever, screw these people, if you suck, it’s not like you’ll ever see them again anyway.

I learned this from Patrick, which is a totally awesome friend I met in downtown. I’ve been meeting all kinds of interesting people in the city lately, notibly Anna Hooker, a girl who works at Barnes and Noble at the MOA who is into the punk rock scene. I went to a show with her at the Triple Rock, and it was pretty fresh. But the whole audience is emo. This happened before at the Electric Six concert – when the band called for dancing, or the audience you know, moving muscles, everyone just stood there doing their best to not be noticed by anybody. Except me, and the girls in the very front row.

You know, if I lost 30 pounds, I bet I could pick up any girl from emo concerts. Confidence is key, lack of shame is key, and I have both. I simply lack the physique. I can’t wait till it is spring and I resume my biking to work plan.
