Oh, lordy! I did it. I learned a Zumba dance. It's not pretty, nor perfect (by any stretch of the imagination), but I definitely had fun.

Why Carrie? Why do such a thing?!

@hazem91 made me do it! No really, not only did he tag me in @nikolina's ZUMBACHALLENGE, but he kept hounding me about it. 😆 Apparently, that's all I need... a little push. 😉

So... below you are BLESSED with the FULL 2 minutes and 49 seconds of me looking like a fool. The contest only required it be 30 seconds, but after watching me, I thought you should all see how NOT good at this I am. Maybe it will help your self-esteem a little. 😍

Other requirements:

Link to original Nevana & Goran video that I learned. I chose SUA CARE. Not sure what the song is about, but I liked it nonetheless. Oh. And I'm not embedding so you're forced to leave this page to see the actual dance...😎
I was supposed to tag two people, but alas, the contest is ending in mere moments, so I'm not gonna.
I was also supposed to resteem and upvote, but again, the post is now too old. 😕 This is my fault. I should have gone looking for the links WAY before today...

Thoughts from me...

The first time I watched this through it hurt. I did NOT like seeing myself like this.
Let me explain.... I've gained quite a bit of weight in the last few years and from my perspective it's just not pretty. I look weird and just not like me. It was really hard to see that, but needed.

However! It's not all bad. I also saw how much fun I was having. And it's true, Zumba is REALLY fun- even if you suck. 😆 I used to be okay at dancing, but carrying the extra pounds makes everything move a little differently and awkward. 😕

Luckily, because of @hazem91, I did it anyway. I watched the video twice (no dancing) to get the moves in my brain and then about 6 more times doing it. Then I slept on it (that helps solidify things for me). I got up this morning thinking I wasn't going to do it, but guess who showed up in my dang chat again?! Yup. @hazem91 asking where my video was. 😆

So I did it.

I ran through it once. Spent about 30 minutes figuring out how to film it (SO MANY things were involved). I pushed record and left the rest up to the gods.

And here it is... enjoy. 😍

Did you just LOVE it? Want more?

Possible topics...

Your guess is as good as mine. 😎 Though I DO really like the name and the possibilities of using excessively nerdy space terms and sounds to tie things together, I'm not looking at locking in on something too specific.

And actually, FUN FACT: The color I used for the text in my promo photo is actually the color of the Universe. For real. It's fff8e7, if you were wondering. 🤓

I got ideas. A LOT of 'em. Here's what I'm thinking...Weird news, Steemit news, crypto news, my thoughts on life, plants, unicorns (they are totally real), cats, food (specifically bacon), special guests, Steemian music, my own little ditties, games, giveaways, collaborations. See? It could be anything.)
