Party People

I regularily go to a disco club to dance...
I started this dancing about 5 years ago.
Before that, I never ever had anything to do with dancing...
I thought: "This is weird... Why do people go to a club, listen to loud music and try to dance to it?"
I couldn't really find areason for that...

Now I know...

Dancing is just fun!

At the end of it (when I have danced for over 3 hours), it leaves me sweatty wet, stinkin' like a weazle and,...yesss..., happy.
I do not do it, because I want to hook somebody (which is normally the main reason to go to a club...)...
I just do it to move my body to the music...

Sometimes when I take a little break in between, I start watching the people...
There are so many different people coming to a club and I try to describe a few of them...

1.) The "gimme booze" - people:
Mainly men, but have seen women too...
Just go to the club, to get drunk.
You do not see the reason why,...they just do it.
Some sit in the dark corners, some drink together with their mates, but the target of the evening is: Severely get drunk! Those guys leave traces of pavement pizza on the floor and are just disgusting. Sometimes I wonder how these people manage to repeat that on and on...
At 2:00 a.m. the "gimme booze" - men start diggin' on the most beatiful ladies.. I always wonder what alcohol is able to do... I mean... how could you honestly think, that one of these classy women would positively respond to a drunken nerd, that is hardly able to stand on his two feet... Alcohol severly cheats on your sense of reality...

2.) The "no-watch-no-touch" chicks
Dressed sharp like a razorblade. Looking extraordinary good. They really have the playmate atmo around them, but they have proud eyes. If you look at them, they look at you like just had groped one of their buttcheeks. They just do not enter the club, they "appear". They do not walk, they stalk. They do not dance, their dance is a show (when they dare to dance...). But wait until they open their mouth... horribble! They are the target of wishes for the average tween boy, but they won't allow them to touch... What is the point? Girls... wait until you get older... and.. also.. With you behavior, you just attract the casanovas whose sport it seems to be to conquer you with their cheap tricks... this is poor...

3.) The "one night standers"
Here they come! Mainly the boyz. When they are in the zone, it starts to get funny:
Muscleshirts, their head is all hair gel, expensive sporting shoes, golden accessories, expensive watches, pimped cars and an IQ of 78. Most of their brains is between their legs. They are magnetically attracted to the "no-watch-no-touch" girls. They have to prove themselves that they are able to make it to the bedsheets with them girls... If on of them the "no-watch-no-touch" girls gets too drunk, they might end up in a together spended night... But when these couples leave the place, they are a sad spectacle to look at: He looks as a winner, she is so boozed, you can see she is even not realizing what is happening to her...

4.) The "bitches"
Those are real hookers, who try to get a man home with them.
Might be the ideal match for the "one night stander", but they aren't...
Because thiose guys wantto pick their prey, not want to be picked.
But those girls always get somebody home...Pheromones are strong!

5.) The "pairs"
A club is a place to go to meet people. Many of these people truly seem to believe, that within this atmo of drinkin', dancin', hustlin' and yelled conversations of minor content, they might fiond a partner.
Those who find one, keep coming to the place. But it is strange. these couple linger at the bar or in dark corners. Boy is jealously watching girl not to be dug on by other guys. Girl has eyes telling you, that she really likes to enjoy a good dance on the floor, but she cannot because of her jealously watching boy. So she stands in front of him, discreetly wiggling her tail toward her stressed watching boy, who is presentng her as his "own"...It is only for the show up, those two are here. They have a clique, in which they are not really integrated anymore and just celebrate their loneliness nt the crowd...

6.) The lonely people
There are a lot of this species in the club. They sit in corners or dark spots. They like to stay away from the boiling kettle. They are observers of the things going on... but they are never part of it all.
Very seldomly they are women. These people are mainly men, trying to find something, maybe hoping to get to know somebody, but too shy to ever dare to talk to somebody...Alcohol is one of their friends, but they do not get really drunk during the evening...They just keep the flame a little burning inside... when the effect of the booze goes away, this little flame fades away by the cold wind of the everyday life...

7.) The "floating" people
They are wandering around the club all the time. Maybe they try to get a touch of somebody in the crowded place. If they find the atmo boring, they quickly check with their mates via sms to leave the place and go somewhere else. Club hoppers...

9.) The "oldies"
OK, this is my category. People who like to dance or club in their 40s...
Always looked at with a little scorn. When dancing the yong girls like to mock about them.
Maybe these people are trying to conservate their youth. Maybe they have their midlife crisis.
But maybe, some of them just wanna have some fun.

10.) The "lonely rich businessmen"
Only few of those are to be seen in the club.
He comes late at night. Is to be recognised by the expensive clothing he wears and the hungry eyes he has... Always keeps a good disctance to everybody. Is not conversating. Is just tanking the feeling of the place. You can see, that he is longing for to join the party, but he is torn between his businessman attitude and letting everything loose. Spends the whole night for the decision...And goes back to his business world... lonely...

11.) The "group-girls"
A group of at least 4 up to 10 sharp dressed, giggling party-chicks, that is whirling arond the place. Consists of exaggerated and introvert girls. There are always leaders and followers. Decision makers and just shy girls. Sometmes attacked by the "one night standers" ...But the group sticks together. It always locates together or floates in the club, only thinned out sometimes by the exaggerated girls who like to dance and mix ínto the party vortex...

12.) The "pair-girls"
No,...no...they are not lesbian, but they stick like glue.
Mainly a combination of a very good looking girl and a "normal" chick or two very good lookin' ones.
They do everything together. It is hard for a guy to split this pair in order to get a conversation to one of the two. Ittakes a little more guts to for the boys to approach them...
They especially like to go to the toilet only as a pair of two...
They go to the club together and they leave it again...

13.) The "party animals"
Male or female species of extreme party ability. They dance, hustle, drink, are having a feast.
It is "their" world. The music is the pulse, the people are the air they breathe. They just want to celebrate the escape from the grey everyday life... It is amazing to watch them.

14.) The "performers"
Extremely skilled dancers, that like to show off. They brake or do their electric dancin' mainly, when the dancefloor is not very full, so that they have enough space and attention for their performance. Then, once started, they "battle" in smal groups or just "go off" alone. In any case a cirle of spectators gather around them and watch...enjoyng their perfomance... It is an amazing sight.

15.) The "body guards"
You pass trhe phalanx of those when you enter the club. If they won't let you in, you do not get in...They are Gym-steeled wardrobe sized alert looking guys who are there to protect the partying masses from the few guys that try to express themselves in extreme violence in combination with too much alcohol. The reasons can be jealousy or even only a different city you come from. Some people ged bad and mad because of minor resons... The "guards" are able to take and give some heavy shots. Their advantage in action is, that they are sober. They are quick, couragous and effective. It is a dangerous job...and they seem to like it.

16.) The DJs
Just the motor to the party. Some are good. Some are just mediocre. You realize it when the dancefloor is full. Some think, whe they try to sing along with the tunes by the use of a too loud amplified microphone, that this would raise the party atmo. Oh boy! What an error! I mean... boys,... let the music do the job and stop yelling at us... If you would do a nice set, we won't loose our fun... get your butt cheeks together, shut up and put a kickin' beat on the turntables...got it?!

17.) The club workers behind the bars, at the cashier, at the wardrobe and the light mixing consoles... a small army of nightshift workers who have hard time to get the whole thing running. Especially to be honored here is the toilet lady form Africa, that cleans up all the pee and pavement pizza the drunk male human beings spilled on the lavatory floor. When I gave her a tip worth a few dollars the smiled at me and said: "Thank you! God bless! God bless!" I left the club... blessed...

And there are a lot more...

You shouldl go just once into a club and watch...

It is better than TV...
