Just Dance ok?

I have to come to realize something......or may have come to realize something......and all because of Just Dance 2.
Yup, Just Dance 2, the game.

I Can't Dance.

The sad thing is that.....I thought I could. Now because of this, I have now begun to doubt myself in other areas. Let me explain.

The girls and I went to Phoenix to visit my SIL and niece. My SIL requested I bring up Just Dance 2 because we had a blast playing it the last time they were down. It is a fun game ( I highly recommend "Rasputin".....what a workout!!! {coming from the girl who doesn't workout}) SO.....we start playing it one night and I could not win. The same thing happened when I played with my sisters in California. It always seemed to happen when I was using a controller that wasn't player ONE. So I blamed it on the Wii. Thought that maybe it just doesn't register the movements from other controllers as well as the First one. So after being schooled over and over and I asked my SIL if we could switch and do the song one more time because I wanted to test my theory. We did.....and I lost.....miserably....again. I was shocked.......and humbled. I can feel myself moving and I felt like I was doing to moves just right......in perfect timing. At the time.....we laughed and laughed, but I have been very bothered by this since then. Stupid I know.
But all I could think is that.....
"This is how it is. This is how people feel when they think they sing really good, but they really don't......like on American Idol auditions."
We watch these poor people go on the show who sing horribly, but they are SO SURE that they are the best singers in America. And I always think....."why doesn't someone tell them that they really can't sing before they go and humiliate themselves?" So this it. This is how it is.....I thought I was a really good dancer......but I'm not! So what does that mean about everything else? Maybe I can't sing? Maybe my great ideas...aren't? Pretty sad that a video game has made me second guess myself. I have pretty much gotten over it though.....besides why do I need to be a good dancer on a video game? Still.....I think life was a little sweeter prior to Just Dance 2.
