If you're reading this and do not like listening to my obsession with Korea, stop reading NOW. It will only cause displeasure to you, the reader. Don't get mad and don't make fun; you've been forewarned. What follows is something that makes me smile just thinking about it. :-)
Ack! I so dearly wish I knew how to dance. And I'm not talking about ballet, tap, jazz, swing here - although that would be nice - I'm talking about hip hop. And to be more specific, Korean Hip Hop. I'm not sure why I'm so drawn to it; I don't believe it's just because of my love for the Korean culture. I think it's because as each band tries to out-do one another, their dances get more and more complex, and this just fascinates me. A lot of times, a dance move that looks super cool will be pretty simple, in terms of the individual moves that make up the whole. What makes it so cool and difficult is being able to execute every part so well that it flows together and looks like something ridiculously complicated. I started learning 3 dances recently, and hopefully I will be able to pull them off after A LOT of practicing.
I consider two of these dances to be very cool, and even though the third looks cheesy, I feel compelled to say, "Bring on the cheese!!" Now I know most of you are not on board with me about this, but I could really care less. Different cultures are my passion, and if you dare to make fun of me for it, I will say (as is so common in Korean dramas, "You shouldn't live your life like that". It's not your passion and it's NOT you, so don't worry about it! On the other side of things, if you happen to secretly think I'm the cool one with all of my amazing knowledge, don't worry about 'losing face'. You should get some courage. I think I've gotten my point across, so with that said, I will withdraw. Thank You for indulging the essence that is Kelsey.
