Nobody puts Baby in the corner

I would like to take some time to talk about a timeless classic, Dirty Dancing.  Now where to begin? No seriously, where to begin?! This could potentially go on forever. My love of this movie, the music, the actors and every last detail goes way beyond words. For years as a child, my best friend and I would watch this movie everyday after school. No joke, every single day. excessive? absolutely not!. We would go to her house, play a couple rounds of Mario cart and then sit down to watch the best movie ever made. Sigh:)

Let me just start by saying, Patrick, where did you get your moves? Honestly you are just the epitome of masculinity, grace, sex appeal (dont get me started) and strength all balled up into one.
From the moment Patrick's character Johnny walks into the resort with his sunglasses on (at night) and a leather jacket slung over his shoulder, I developed at a very young age, what my idea of cool was. So far I have unfortunately never met anyone that cool but hey, look who you have to compete with.

I still to this very day wonder if there is a secret, shack style hideout where people go to just straight up dirty dance to Otis Redding and the likes. Where not one person is just standing around awkwardly with a drink in hand, trying to look cool. I wanna find this place asap. I'd carry a watermelon there anyday.


I don't know about you but I couldnt help but feel a little disappointed when I found out that sex isn't like Johnny and Baby portrayed it. Turns out there ISN'T always a romantic record conveniently playing in the background before you even enter the room and foreplay isnt always a sexy partner dance consisting of dips and backbends but Im slowing getting over it.

Now I dont want to put Baby down because I love her and she really pulled off the whole dancing thing like a pro even though she had never danced in her life before she met Johnny and I also don't want to brag but Im pretty sure I could nail that overhead lift in 3, maybe 4 tries in the studio. But I'd pretend that I was really struggling so Johnny and I could practice in the lake just for fun. There is something so romantic about playing in the water!

Ok now things are getting serious. I've heard that a NEW dirty dancing is coming out. And Im not talking about a sequel. Im talking about a full on REMAKE! What are these people thinking!?!? This movie is perfect, it doesn't need to be REMADE! That's just the thing about timeless classics, they are "timeless!" Good luck finding actors that will do Patrick and Jennifer justice. GOOD LUCK!! Whoah, "someones" blood is boiling. I'm just saying, "if it aint broke, don't fix it."

I'll conclude this entry by stating again that I love Dirty Dancing and I am so thankful for it's existence. I leave you with this quote:

-"I'm afraid of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life, the way I feel when I'm with you!" -Francis Houseman AKA Baby 

RIP Patrick Swayze. Nobody can replace you:)
