Yep you read it right. I was out at my local spot (Face to face) yesterday and me and this dude who had lost both legs from the knee down OWNED and when i mean OWNED i mean RICKY ROSSED the dance floor. He had no crutches no prosthetic legs...just knee pads to reduce the friction as he rocked it till 6 o'clock in morrrrnin!
It was kind of amazing...i keep thinking of all friends, acquaintances and random mofos that refuse to let their party animal out unless they were hammered or unless the lights are sooo dark they think shadows or impaired vision enhance their perceived lack of rhythm. So please mis amigos take a page out of this guys book....its all in your head so let loose. He danced with no legs...how freaking cool is THAT!!!
In other news I was also hanging out with my regular crew and their new friend for the night... some Greek Triathlon champ that seriously looked like he could have been born in Sparta..we called him Leonidas for a good chunk of the night. Anyway Leonidas no longer does the Triathlons but works for the international Olympic triathlon committee and travels the world (260 days out of the yr) scoping countries and locations to host them. Yep that is a pretty sweeeeet job.... there is no major or masters for this program just a passion for the sport. On the other hand his fiance works as a travel writer/NGO publicist of sorts and travels the world writing stories about her traveling and social development programs tourists should take a time out of their resorts and visit...yep another Sweeeet out of the box job. They travel together most of the time b/c thats the relationship-work balance that would only work in their lives...and it works.
Anyway the point of the blog post is...that all three of my newly found acquaintances from last night from the amputee, to Leonidas, to his travel writer Fiance seemed to confirm the fact that you shouldn't give a flying F about what ppl see on the outside or what traditions confirm...just do your thaaaaaaaaang and rock the proverbial dance floor that is the world!
"THIS IS SPARTA!!!" sorry i just had to say that.
I am out like Iron Man 2!!!
