I am writing this blog on the train, and I notice that more than half of the people riding have headphones in their ears. I understand the affect that music can have on a person. Its one of those things in life that can make your day so much better, and all you have to do is press play on your ipod. Though this is true, I believe the expression "dance like nobody is watching" should not be applicable while riding the subway.
I was once on the A train on my way to school when I noticed a young man utilizing this expression. He wore jeans that revealed half of his boxers, a white beater, and a black du-rag. He stood by the door at the far end, with his headphones in ear and his t-shirt resting on his shoulder. He stared at his reflection of the windows of the door, singing to Usher's "I wanna make love in this club", while dancing as if he was performing it in concert. He would lift his arms, opening and closing his hands just as an R&B singer would. Though his singing ability was not up to par as the average singer, I found it extremely entertaining and was actually disappointed when he exited on the 125th street station.
