DCDanceBlog

wow, who would’ve thought i’d sort of fall in love with writing a blog? i used to put down the idea, thinking it was kinda pointless, a little like masturbating really. but now i see how addictive it can be. now i don’t just want to write about dance–i want to write about life! my thoughts on being alive, on meeting people and thinking about people, riding buses, living in dc, trying to find personal clarity, growing, learning, all that stuff. but maybe i should keep this blog to dance. if i want to write more, maybe i’ll start a new one.

what’s great about a blog is that it’s a chance to be creative, to stretch and exercise those creative skills, without high stakes, without needing to make money off of the act or having to get somewhere. it allows me to be totally free to do whatever i want, yet still try to craft it into something that might resemble art.

here’s a blog, gwadzilla, that i just came across this morning. i’ve run into the guy who does it several times–in fact he took my photo, so maybe it’ll appear somewhere. he seems extremely cool in person, and even cooler on his blog! i love how it’s about biking and life. like how this blog is about dancing and life–except that his is much more personal.
