House

Eugene is perhaps one of my most influential friends, and thanks to him I've explored and wandered into experiences I always dreamt of. One of those dreams was to become a proficient dancer, particularly with house music. I recall that about a year and a half ago, we engaged in a really short and simple conversation on our way back home from the airport in DC. While driving, I was playing a few new house tunes I thought he would enjoy, and naturally he did.

After jamming out for a few minutes, I made the following statement, "man, I really wish I knew how to dance to house music." Without any hesitation, he turned off my car's stereo and turned his body towards me while I continued driving and said, "Jay, there is no such thing as wishing, only doing. If there is something completely obtainable such as wanting to dance to something, don't WISH to do it, just DO it." I think many of you could relate that when you're talking to a good friend, they often advise you in certain ways that just make you go, "uh huh" but the message never registers. In this instance, it did, and ever since I've been learning to make this simple wish of mine a realization.

Isn't it funny how sometimes the simplest of phrases can motivate you so much? It surely amazes me. Anyways, I felt like sharing my thoughts right now as I've been listening to this song non-stop, and it has been giving me SO many ideas. Some of which I'll share with you all in the not-so-distant future so keep an eye out. For now, just enjoy. As they say in the house community, "House is a feeling." Right now, I'm SERIOUSLY feeling this track.
