Stop being a programmer then, what a terrible thing to reduce oneself to
only being.

I close my eyes when I dance.
I swear I nearly orgasm at times.
An hour of yoga? or dance and get much of the same benefits. . . it's all
about approach.

To create repetetive beats to dance to [afterall I'm sure there are lots of
clever people who have talked about what the nature of music is outside of
itself - the unity of the manifold] is most certainly not a neanderthal
thing to do - simple? possibly - but I think that that's limiting something
powerful to a mindless task of spacing out 'beats'. A truer relationship
with dancing has, well not been forgotten, but rather has not been made
available to most people. . . a matter of educating. . or of giving people
the tools to find it for themselves?

I cannot think of a better challenge for someone - to try and do something
well that they detest. . .  if you don't like 4/4 tracks then maybe creating
one you would like would be more of a challenge than scraping your contact
mike over a carpet!
