Friday dance

For years now I've been trying to spread "The Friday Dance" – I have already done one this morning. Some would argue that you must wait until the end of the day is in sight, but I say whenever you're happy that it's friday, do a dance. The vigorousness of this dance varies, of course, depending on how crappy or long your week has been. It shouldn't be a good dance or even one you're particularly proud of, actually, the dorkier you feel as you jut your thumbs out to the side and wiggle your butt the better. Throw in some bent knees and duck walking if it's a Friday AND a payday.

When I left my job in the DC area my colleagues even made a video send off that included all of their respective Friday dances. I have even shown this tape to people unfamiliar with these former colleagues, and you can't help but laugh until you cry. I really should digitize it. Man, we should get it onto youtube! If you need inspiration for your own personal Friday DanceTM go to this demo by ZeFrank.

And remember, you get extra points for getting a coworker to join you! I shall start and then you can join in. You can stay seated if you wish. I shall throw my arms in the air thusly, wait, there, now i have to type some more but don't worry I'll recommence shortly. pucker up those lips mick jagger style or go for the white man's over bite, now waggle your head and your hips and SHIMMY SHIMMY SHIMMY!!!!

ah, i feel better already!

1 - Ah, the Friday dance tape! God, that was so much fun to make! I think I still have my copy, though I can't bring myself to watch it anymore. The contrast between how I felt then, and how I feel now about some of the people in it keeps me from plugging into the old VCR... maybe one day...

As for digitizing it, I'm pretty sure Dan did it in iMovie, so maybe if you find him...

And of course, I have to share this and this which, to me, will always be the Official Friday Dance Music. (Comment this)

3 - Ha ha! I don't have an official Friday dance, but I do like to practice my 'moves' in the kitchen a lot. I like lyrical dance the best....very expressive... (Comment this)
