Speaking of deep, dark

In reply to I figured you'd already been

Speaking of deep, dark secrets, I have a confession to make: I used to teach Samba lessons to little old ladies (and occasionally the not-so-old lady) to help pay my way through college. I suppose there were worse ways to pay the bills. (Actually, I had a lot of fun. Those little old ladies could be quite a riot, and boy did they have some stories to tell.)

So I guess that means a lot.

Hey O, I heard that you think Samba School is cool. Insofar as my sense of self-worth depends on your approval of my leisure activities, that means a lot.

In reply to I should move the dislaimer

I figured you'd already been there. Who would live in Brazil and not go to Carnaval? That would be silly. But performing in the parade with an actual Samba School? That's so cool (but don't tell Genghis I said that because I'll deny it).

There will be pain.

I should move the dislaimer to the top, this is from last year - I've already been there ;)

I fell in love with samba about ten years ago in Chicago when we would go to see the same band every week and dance for hours. At first, I watched the samba in awe, thinking I'd never get it and just dancing however I wanted. Then, one day, it magically clicked. So, my advice to you is keep at it and don't think about it too much. It's awesome that you're going to be in the parade. I've only experienced Carnaval in Salvador, but someday I'll be in Rio too!!
