We love reality T.V. in our house. We watch most of the big reality shows. Survivor, Big Brother, Top Chef, all of the Real Estate flipping shows and Fox’s So you think you can dance. Go ahead, stop laughing and pick yourself up off the floor.

Can I continue?

I know. I don’t know what the hell got into me on this one. But I must confess, I didn’t just start watching it this season. I was glued to the television last season as well. I blame my wife for this. She started watching it and I was walking by the television when a couple of the contestants were doing this amazing swing routine. I was hooked.

I confess, I can’t dance. I can’t actually even pretend I can dance. You see, I can pretend to do most sports. I am naturally gifted at the ability to do most sports pretty well right from the get go. I am one of those people who does many things well and nothing very well.

I also must confess, I have always had a fascination with swing dancing. I had friends who did it in competition and I went to see them perform one time and I thought it was pretty amazing. I also like the music and love most things from the 1930’s and 40’s.

Back to the show. Even you haven’t seen it, they do all kinds of dances. Hip Hop, Swing, Ballroom, Paso Doble (I know, I know. Can you believe I know what Paso Doble is.) But my point is, that before I started watching this show, I would have never, ever thought you would catch me dead watching anything to do with dance that didn’t involve me being a good friend who comes out to watch you dance. But now I am hooked.

I need to make sure I balance all of my dance watching with so real kick-ass, manly BBQ shows on the food network. I also must ratch up my sports watching. I mean we do need balance in life.

Besides, Last time I checked, I couldn’t go to a sports bar and catch the latest episode of “So you think you can dance”. Besides, if I asked them to change the channel, I would just get my ass kicked. And my kids wouldn’t like a Daddy who comes home all beaten and bruised. But hey, when my girls start dancing, I will know what a Paso Doble is. Will you?

Now I need to go upstairs and find my testosterone.
