...after a 4 year hiatus. And I Miss It.

This dance…all the struggles were worth it. Biting back all the fears was worth it.

If you’ve never danced, really danced from your soul, danced out your heartbreak, your love, your pain, you joy, you just cannot grasp how good it feels. It’s the next wonderful thing to heaven.

There are better languages (Python, Ruby) for serious very-high-level coding. And, of course, C/C++ has abilities that Perl cannot match. But for someone who’s looking to code, and code well, and comes from a C background, Perl’s flexibility, plus the vast array of modules on “CPAN”, makes it a winner in many areas.

Raqs, aka Belly Dancing has introduced me to many wonderful women, a few of whom I’ve had the pleasure of dating. Dancers are amazingly smart, and because of the mainstream view of raqs, we tend to be very focused and strong-willed, two things I like in my friends.
And for me, internally, it’s kept me at a good trim, makes me more light-hearted and fun to be with, and gave me a drive towards life that makes the day-to-day work grind just a little more bearable.

Raqs Rocks!
