Does anyone else occasionally wake up from a nap and feel a little upset and angry for no particular reason?  It’s the strangest thing.  I came home from work today and was hit by a veritably tsunami of lethargy, and had no choice but to meander around my apartment in various stages of consciousness for the next few hours.  When I finally came to, I was feeling particularly grumpy and annoyed at nothing in particular.

Somehow though, I managed to inspire myself to put on some house music and start dancing.  I love house music, and I’m trying to learn to house (dance style), but it’s rather difficult to not look like an idiot unless you’re pretty good already.  Luckily, my roommate was out, so looking like an idiot was not an issue.  I don’t have dance classes for the next three weeks, so I figured that it’s probably a good thing to dance on my own to keep in shape and keep my skills nice and skillful.  For the next two hours, I switched up the music a bit (old school funk, nothing like it) and managed to practice popping, locking, and some breaking, and felt infinitely better than how I felt before I started dancing.

The joy of motion, the ecstasy of rhythm, there’s nothing like it.

So next time you’re feeling down, throw on some awesome music and just let yourself go.

A quick shower afterwards, and I feel content and happy.
