"I Love To Dance!"*

As some of you know I started kickboxing in September w/ my neighbor, Beth. It is a lot of fun and we get to take out any of our aggressions/frustrations/etc while getting a good workout which makes it even better. Another thing that makes it extremely tolerable: our kickboxing instructor, Alex. To put it simply, he’s pretty hot. And add onto that hotness that he’s in great physical shape (obviously), a black belt in karate and extremely flexible and you’ve got a great male specimen. However, along with this blessing of physical beauty he has what we think is a side of arrogance that he attempts to hide. I want to say he hides it fairly well, but every now and then we’ll catch a glimpse of him admiring his ripped muscles in the mirror as he does squats, push-ups, kicks, punches, sit-ups, younameit. And he looks pretty dang proud of himself (with good reason I guess).

The other night after kickboxing Beth and I were putting our shoes and jackets on getting ready to head out into the wintery shitty weather and I just happened to glance up through the lobby’s viewing window into the kickboxing room to see Alex jamming out to his iPod. I am thinking this must be how karate people dance. It was a combination of punches and strikes while grooving his feet and hips. Immediately I turn to Beth with a look of wonderment on my face. She is looking at me and with a look of complete humiliation.

“I can’t look up!” she says, “It’s too embarrassing!”

I fortunately did not feel that embarrassment by watching him, only some embarrassment for him, so I flat out stared. He couldn’t have been trying to hide this dancing technique from us b/c he KNEW we were there. There is a HUGE window that we were sitting at and could see him through. So I can only assume this little jig of his was something he WANTED us to see. And that is what makes it even funnier. Dance Alex, dance! Show us what you’re working with!

Living the dream!

We are leaving this morning to head north to Bessemer, MI. I'm sure upon our return I will have some good stories and pictures to share with you all. I can't wait to drink until I can't feel feelings anymore. It's going to be wonderfulastic! I hope you all have a great weekend and I'll see you Monday!

So if I can't dance should I just start kicking and punching?

Or does that only work for washboard abs?

That's hilarious! It's the awkward situation moments that always keep me staring. I can't help it either!
