Marvelous Music: Feel So Close by Calvin Harris

Do you ever have those moments when you think to yourself  "I can do anything right now. The world is full of possibilities, and I can have them all." The type of moments when every limb in your body starts tingling with anticipation of what is to come, because you know it is going to epic. That is exactly how I feel every single time Feels So Close by Calvin Harris reaches my ears: Epicness is on the horizon. To make matters even better, the music video perfectly sums up this feeling. The feeling of love, possibility, and accomplishment. Plus, the little dancing girl in the video eerily mirrors my own life at her age: barefoot, headphones, and all.

New Year, New Nonsense

I brought in the new year by participating in one of my favorite activities...DANCING!  In case you didn't know, I live for dressing up in heels and going out to get my boogie on; see above for a picture of my snazzy New Years outfit (can you believe I bought that dress from the DI for only 5 bucks!). Anyways, between Salt Lake, Orem, and Provo, my friends and I really had our pick of dance parties. So being the poor college students that we are, we made the logical choice and went to the cheapest of our choices. Fortunately for us, we were not disappointed! Turns out, the kids turning the tunes happen to be my favorite DJs in town, and I won't deny the fact that I totally have eyes for one of them (I'm a sucker for a boy who knows his music). Alas, as per usual, I again went without a New Years kiss. Truthfully, I've never even had a real New Years kiss, but that sort of thing does tend to happen when you break up with your boyfriend earlier that day. From that  very same night, which took place roughly 5 years ago, all of mine have been from my guy friends who were just being silly. Which is okay I guess, since it made for some pretty epic times. In the end, I am pleased to say that this New Years Eve was a success. There was dancing, reacquainting, laughing, flirting, injuries(oops), and moments that should have been embarrassing. If those aren't the makings of a great and memorable time, then I really don't know what is. 

Dear Blogosphere...July 10

  
Please find me one of him.  Thanks!

And as a completely off topic side note, my calves are absolutely burning from a field trip I had to do for my Biology class.  Being a dancer and all, I think I am in pretty good shape, but I guess walking down hill a mile, then turning around and walking up that same hill can really make a girl sore (or at least this one).  Hey, at least I had a fun time, that is all that really matters.

So I Stared a YouTube Channel...

Yup, it is true, I finally did it.  I have been threatening to make a channel for who knows how long, but now it is official.  Thus far I only have various videos of dances I have made up for my little dancers.  Don't you worry though, I will be adding more stuff about...I'm not sure, yet I am sure it will be about something (I think).  Any who, check it out and let me know what you think.  What dance is your favorite, or whatever you feel like saying would be alright too.

Marvelous Music: April 4

I have recently fallen in love with the musical stylings of Jenny O.  Maybe it is my love for indie folk, or perhaps it is my current draw to medium jams (songs that aren't slow, but aren't really fast either), but one this is for sure, I have had my iPod on a constant loop playing Jenny O.'s EP Home.  One song in particular has really moved me... literally.  The dancer in me stared swaying as soon as the first notes of Won't Let You Leave trickled through my speakers.  Who knows, maybe on of these days I will choreograph a dance to one Jenny O.'s amazing songs.  For now just check out her site by clicking on her name, and enjoy a listen of Won't Let You Leave by Jenny O.
