The weather today is amazing. When i look outside my window i see a tree that is budding, coupled birds tweeting away. The grass is green and the sun is high. On my way to class i look at the beautiful landscape. Ball state has made put the red mulch and the butter cup flowers in the ground. Spring has begun. the temperature was cool throughout the morning. The day was beautiful as soon as noon was struck by the Ball Bell Tower. People are happy and smiling. The day was one that i would not give up for the world.

Facebook

So how many people have been broken up with on facebook. Well I am one of them. My girlfriend at the time had thought about breaking up with me. so instead of making any closure broke up with me on facebook. Her and I had a discussion about the idea of breaking up because we have not seen each other recently before the facebook thing. i had told her that i am willing to work on this with her and we can get through this little rough patch. The real question is why did  i not remember that if she does not have something perfect the first time she gives up. The greatest part is that i had to hear sorry from at least 5 of my friends about the relationship being broken up. Wow!!! This is the worse thing ever. Then i message her and say are we  complicated or actually broken up.  She replies with, " i'm Sorry, were not dating." So i as the good person as i am, i write her and tell her how i feel about the situation. I was not mean or the least bit rude. The whole point of me writing was to make her feel like she did something wrong, which she did.  well we are now at a lower level of friendship. almost to the acquaintance level.  Even though, the whole relationship ended badly. So my advice to you is not to put your relationships on facebook.

Jonny Carinos

            I am going to do a review over Jonny Carinos. This is a restaurant located in Muncie Indiana.  This place is an Italian restaurant. I enjoyed the atmosphere the food and the employees. Everything that the place did was awesome.

When you first enter the building you get this cool and relaxed vibes. The interior has an old Italian feeling.  You here a lively and yet relaxed Jazz music playing of music. The interior has warm colors of yellows and reds. the room feels welcoming.  When you are at your table your waiter/waitress will meet with you he will get you your drinks. Then bring out this oil and vinegar mix and a loaf of fresh bread. This is delicious. The bread and the oil vinegar mix is a good seasoning for the bread. You look through the menu and you just think to yourself there are to many good things in this menu to choose from. “What do I choose?” I will then look for something new that I have not had. I chose a chicken Alfredo with mushrooms and peppers. Unfortunately I can not remember the food. That does not mean it was not good just meant that I can not spell the name.

The food comes and you are just looking at this in wow. How amazing is this going to be? I took a bite of this dish and I was amazed. The food was succulent and juicy. I was impressed the flavors were well blended. The people that were with were all impressed with the food they all enjoyed their dishes extremely.

Teaching (funny)

I was at a salsa night for the Ball State Latino Club. At this meeting I learned Salsa, Meringue, and Bachata that night. At the end of the night I decided to start swing dancing. (you can swing dance to anything) lucky for me there were some people from the Ball State Swing Society. We were swinging and having fun. The people that were at the dance decided they wanted to learn what this dance is. We offered to teach them some simple moves that would take no time to learn. They got through with no broken bones. until they wanted to learn some dips. This guy dropped this girl 3 times that night. OMG Why? he could not figure out how to dip this chick. now i tried it with her once to see why he could not get it. To my surprise she freaks out and curls up in a ball and he has to support all of her weight. so I take her by the hand spin her twice and put her into a dip. she is fine for the moment then starts to panic as she is getting closer to the floor  i warned her, " if you freak out i will drop you on purpose. RELAX!!" she did. So I informed the guy that it was her fault every time and that she just needs to relax and both of them will do fine. So life goes on and for the rest of the night they swing.

ME

I feel as if I need to talk about me now since you know that i am a dancer. (obvious) Right now I am currently a student at Ball State University. I started a blog so that I could share my interesting stories about my life. I think I have been leaning to much to the dance and not my self so i am going to start to right about my self. 
I am currently a working towards a double major in Spanish and Education. the Discipline is in Spanish for the education major. I am currently a Freshmen and loving it. I have had the best experience possible with the college experience. I have a wonderful RA and amazing friends. i also have this bodacious Girlfriend. She is fine. Her name is Haley. Any way I do Swing dancing with my girlfriend. She only wants to do the Swing so I do not force her to do other things. For the other dances i dance with a good friend, her name is Kari. She is good if you ever want some good dance parters look them up.  WOW that was a tangent on what this was about. I am a good hearted and warm individual that sees the good in others most of the time before any one else. I think that any one can dance and that when you want to relieve stress or just have fun DANCE. ( the real question is are we humans? or are we dancers?) LOL

Lost in Indianapolis



When a group of friends and I wanted to go to the dinner in Fountain Square coincidently the name of the restaraunt is the Fountain Square Dinner. The group decided to leave for Indy early to go to dinner with friends. i get onto 465 south. i am now looking for fletcher and at fletcher i go to fountain square i then could not find fletcher. i thought i missed it because i got all the way to the south side of Indy. So we turned around and went north from there we told each other that we will look really hard for fletcher going to get to Fountain Square. We get to the very north of Indianapolis with out finding Fletcher. so we gave up on the idea of eating at the Fountain Square Dinner. We ate at a McDonalds. While we were there i decided to ask someone where might fountain Square be he said that our directions were right except we missed a step we need to get on I-70 west. This was my mistake, not getting on I-70. I then new what needed to be done. After dinner we went on 465 south. then went to I-70 west. Got off on fletcher. But the main part is even though you are lost it is better to be lost with friends. 



The Fox Trot is so much different to swing that i am used too. The teacher is so funny when he teaches. His name is Jachov. He is hilarious he has a very sarcastic questions. that he wants sarcastinc answers. For example, he would ask "what did you just do?" everyone would be in a blank but the answer that he is looking for is dancing. I am excited just going to see him.  In the Fox trot there is still 6 counts in the Fox Trot. This is similar to the swing. The main differences is you start every move you go forward or backward not particularly to the side the sides like in the swing. In Foxtrot i found out, you can not raise your feet. glide your feet. by gliding your feet it looks so much better and you look like a better dancer. the dance looks more elegant when you glide your feet too. my partner for this is Kari she is a good dancer and at times she might be a better dancer than I. (i know my ego is huge now). i am glad that i have the cool teacher with a great partner that does not lead me.
