So You Think You Can Dance; My Reality TV Guilty Pleasure

I consider myself a pretty manly guy.  I hunt. I fish. I lift weights. I can work on cars. I use to ride a motorcycle. But… I actually have a huge secret in my life and I’m a bit embarrassed to admit what it is.

I LOVE SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE!!!! (and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA)

Oh my God, it feels amazing to say that… I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. Now if the weight off my belly would go away, I’d be all set.

I’ve never been a fan of reality TV. I’ve never wanted to be a dancer. I’ve never been on stage. I’ve never had the urge to dance for my life. But for some reason, I love this show.

Or Maybe I did...

What these kids on this show can do, what they put in to it and the physical shape they’re in, blows my mind!  The training and dedication is something beyond anything I’ve ever done and it’s very impressive.

When I watch professional sports from the couch (yup, from the couch) I’m the guy who says out loud, “I could do that” or “that could’ve been me” but when it comes to what these dancers are doing on that stage, I sit on the couch and say “there’s no effin’ way I could ever pull that off” and I know it’s true!

I really don’t have any other reason for writing this post than to say that these kids inspire me and that what they do every week is mind blowing.  I could do without all of the crying, but what they prove and show us every week is that if you are determined to do something and you set your mind to it, there isn’t much you can’t do.
