I love Ichiro Suzuki so much. Comments after last night's debacle of a game:
“Playing on this team and seeing what is happening around me, I feel that something is beginning to fall apart,” Ichiro said, through a translator. “But, if I was not in this situation, and I was objectively watching what just happened this week, I would probably be drinking a lot of beers and booing.” When asked what kind of beer, he added, “Usually I enjoy Japanese beer, but given the situation, if I was objectively watching the game, I wouldn’t care if it was Japanese beer, American beer or beer from Papua New Guinea."
Heh. I'm sure I COULD, after watching your link, Laga, but...the CHICKEN? The TRAVOLTA??? YOu can also West Coast Swing to a heck of a lot of current pop and hip hop...and it's a hell of a lot sexier.
(though I will give a little bit of benefit of the doubt and hope the hustle dance style is better than the line dance laga linked to)
Ok, much more fun hustle [link]
The white outfits near the end worth the wait
Here you go, Meara: [link]
You're all set!
Ichiro = cute AND funny. Damn him!
that james brown video has led me to many videos of Pavarotti signing with various rock stars.
Ichiro = cute AND funny. Damn him!
Oh, he's damned already. He has a long-term contract with the M's...
Unexpected moments in Fay's Life, Number 392:
Failing to adequately lock the door on the loo, and thus finding it opened by the bloke you have a crush on, while you're sitting with your knickers round your ankles. Having to dash onstage seconds later, to go through Act 2 of your performance, without cracking up every time you look at said bloke on the other side of the stage.
...
...
...this is SO my life.

But the good thing is that I think that THIS has finally cured me of feeling self-conscious around the guy. I mean, fuck. I'm in throw-hands-up-in-the-air and acknowledge that the universe is screwing with me mode now.
(...still with the fancying, incidentally.)
Ask him out!
At least you didn't throw up on him. Did know someone who puked on a guy on the first date.
I love to hustle, the dance that's like swing not the line dancing. When I was taking ballroom lessons it was one of my favorites. There are a lot of turns and spins and it's easy to improvise and add West Coast moves to it or swing moves or something else. The basic footwork is identical to swing, rock step back, step, step. Except the timing is different. Swing has a pause between the step step and hustle is more fluid between the step step.
That probably made no sense to anyone.
Do the Hustle! Hustle is : rock step (1-2), Step (3), step (4) (unless it's synchopated but I never learned that. Swing is more 1-2 3 PAUSE 4 , but not a huge pause. I kinda sucked at Swing becuase I'd apply hustle timing to it.
When dancing it's more the beats and timing of hte music than what type it is.
Some of Billy Idol's music works prefect for swing. You can Cha cha to B 52's Love Shack. Santana's Smooth can be Cha cha or West Coast Swing (if I remember right, sometimes a rhythm can be applied to different dances).
