I Am Ready

HUUUMMMMMMMM... After months of intense, painful workouts, today I finally realized that I am truly ready.

As you all know (cause I've told you), in my upcoming one-act play, entitled Alias, I will be playing the role of a secret agent-turned stripper (Oh yeah!), and I need to look perfect. I didn't need a whole lot of work on my toning (biceps, quads) 'cause I've worked hard for that over the years, but my abs are steadily getting more cut and more defined thanks to my military-style sit-ups (Hoo-Ra!) and pelvic thrusts.

Anyway, I was absolutely thrilled this afternoon when I was grooving to some old Jock Jams like "Boom Boom Boom" and "I Like To Move It," and I attempted a standing back-bend (something I have NEVER been able to do) for the hell-of-it and next thing I knew, my head was touching the floor and I was staring under the couch. AHHHHHH!! I couldn't stop smiling for hours 'cause I seriously thought I'd never be able to bend like that. I'm limber and it feels good.

What did I learn? Practice makes perfect, of course. As with everything I've done (Clarinet, Basketball, Spanish, etc), Dancing is no different. When I hear music, I get into it and do crazy things that I'm not even aware of. I just hope I can stay in this condition and add this move to my arsenal 'cause I really want to portray an exotic dancer realistically. JiMBO in a low-cut tuxedo shirt and leather pants... HOT!
