Da Club
On occasion, the wife and I enjoy going out to
one of Atlanta's numerous clubs and dancing it up. Now while you,
loyal weblog readers (all what, 2 of you? I need to put up a
counter to really see) would likely not find that to be objectionable
behavior, this is the bible belt, and the notion that m'lady and I
would do such a thing has brought odd looks and/or comments from some
of our closer friends. Not that I am unaccustomed to odd looks
and comments from my friends, but these looks and comments were on the
basis of us doing something immoral or wrong, not that we were doing
something goofy (much more common).
More background on me: I was raised
in a Prebyterian church (actually, I was raised in a house, and just
when I went to church when it was time to go to church), moved down to
Georgia for school, and joined a Southern Baptist church. I
consider myself an evangelical, I plan on going into the mission field
in roughly 1.5 to 2 years once my wife's car and school loans are paid
off. I maintain a conversative stance on most issues, with a
notable exception being that my stance on whether gay marriage should
be legal goes back and forth. So there you have it.
Now don't get
me wrong, the club isn't exactly the shining beacon of holiness, people
basically have sex on the dance floor, there's rampant drinking and all
other sorts of meaningless debauchery. The fact that this is true
is what makes people equate anyone who goes to such places with that
behavior, in my opinion. But shawty and I go to dance with each
other, and only with each other, cause its a blast. Anyway, it
always amazes me more of my married friends don't go. Its a cheap
form of entertainment, its great exercise, and you get to dance with a
hot chick (assuming you find your significant other hot)!
