another waltz

every year around this time, america enjoys one of its greatest and most famous dance recitals. last night was no exception. millions upon millions of amercians gathered to revel in this ritual once again, making a festival of it, and creating pomp and circumstance of all the activities surrounding it as well. there was laughter, there were tears, there were screams of joy, and there were bellows of discontent.

and when the curtain fell, some felt accomplishment while others found the sting of disappointment. it is a ritual. it is revelry. it is pomp. it is circumstance. it is activity. it is sport. it is religion. it helps us smile and it leaves us in tears. it pumps us up and it drains our reserves. it is a dance and it helps define who we are.

my recommendation here (sorry i haven't done this for you) is to watch the top vid with the sound off and play the bottom vid at the same time....
