Soulja Boy

Tonight Sarah and I went to Bentley College where our BTA Step Team (R.E.A.L) performed. Aside from hearing the song "Soulja Boy" far too many times (I really don't like that song), it was really fun. I learned a few things. 1. Step is hard... those kids have rhythm. 2. Hip hop dancing is dirty... there's really no way around that. 3. I love my students. The performance was at a college, as I said, and aside from one other group that was made up of jr. high and high schoolers on an all-star step team, every other group that performed was made up of college students. That being said, BTA represented well... there were about 25 BTA fans there, not counting the girls that performed.

Attending extra-curriculars is one of my favorite parts of being a teacher. Good thing, too, because it's basketball season.

Soulja Boy's Crank Dat might be the most incredible song ever created. It's terrible - we all know it's terrible - yet, it seems to be on the radio constantly. And when I hear it on the radio, I can't seem to change the station because I have to hear it and think about how awful it is. And then I end up singing it. So what Soulja Boy has done here is really quite amazing - he's created a bad song that we can't help but listen to.

The mind boggles.
