tribal dancing.

i always saw myself as a very free spirit, someone who doesnt really care about other peoples opinions, but today i realized im not as free as i think i am.

im staying with a friend at puerto vallarta, one of the best towns ive ever been to. the people, the music, the culture, the food, everything is so colorfull.

right next to where we live there are tribal dancers. they dance every day at sunrise and sunset. i have been here for three days already and i was dying t dance with them. but a little voice inside kept telling me to sit down, people are watching, you’ll look like an idiot, you cant even dance to that music and so on.

so every night i would go there, and every night i would go home dissapointed for not dancing with them.

you can see some of the people that were dancing, some were so drunk, some were on drugs and the rest just having a good time. i dont smoke or drink and i never felt i needed anything to loosen up. i always did what i wanted. so what happened? have i changed? is it a part of the growing old process?? why do we care so much about what other people think??

i went today again, there were more people cause its a sunday and the music was amazing. this guy came to me and started talking, we talked for maybe 15 minutes, then he asked me if i wanna go for a walk on the beach with him. thats it. thats all i needed. at that moment i said no thanks and started dancing with the band. i had such a good time!!!!! they played tribal music, and african music and even brazilian music!!! i had such a wonderful time. i told them i will be back tomorrow morning i hope i will wake up, i got the bad habbit of waking up late….. i blame david for that.

i actually have plans for tomorrow. rare thing for me to do. wish me luck!!

  1. seiously though, I get the urge to do the robot dance or the moonwalk in public places alot..so I know what you mean about feeling weird that people are watching,…but at least you have other people dancing the same dance with you…nobody does the robot dance or moonwalk in my neck of the woods anymore :o (

    heheee :o )

  2. oh just so you know, because I dont want to leave you traumatized or anything (wink wink) its really OK Lihi!!! You see, I am able to do the robot dance and moonwalk in my kitchen when I home alone and nobody is watching, so then I dont have to feel like an idiot you know. So you dont have to worry for me really, its ok! I really enjoy dancing with myself!! LOL,, I’m just messing with you because you deserve this! hahaaa

    and you better be laughing, because this is too funny! for me anyway! hahaaa

  3. OK, I am going to try and be normal (whatever that means) from this point on now :o )
