Actually I guess he’s the star and some professional dancer (Kym Johnson) will be dancing with him. It’s a little surprising I suppose. Kym Johnson was put with Jerry Springer and Joey Fatone in the past seasons, so I don’t know what that means. I don’t watch the show consistently, only maybe once or twice a season. The last time I watched it was only because Apollo Ono was on it…and he actually won.

I wonder if Mark Cuban knows that they kinda wear funky tight clothing! Our grandma (a great grandma) said “He’s done well in the past with everything else…he’s such a nut, he just might do ok!” I guess we’ll see…

Dancing With the Stars will premier on Monday, September 24th 8/7 c on ABC.

UPDATE: You can read about Mark Cuban’s experience on Dancing With the Stars and vote for him.

So I was checking the stats and the thing that people click on the most in terms of external sites is the Dallas Metropolis Forum. Which make me think of a couple of reasons for this.

One is that we are living more an more in a virtual way, most things we do is online. For me, almost everything is online. This is a advantage and disadvantage with technology. Being online more mean less face to face interaction with people. At times my husband and I joke around since we email or instant message each other for something even if we are in the same house. Anyway, because of this decrease in interaction, more and more people are looking for some kind of interaction online. Forums offer this constant feedback and ways to be connected with others and it can make you feel like you are involved or somehow in a “community”. It’s great that they exists, but it’s sad that we have to look to virtual friends instead of the interaction we use to have with friends back in the days. It’s better than nothing of course and some regional forums are useful since you “might” actually find real face to face interaction with people you meet in these forums.

The other reason for the popularity of forums, at least for Dallas Forums, is that more and more people are interested in knowing more about Dallas. After visiting one of the Dallas related forums, I realized how many people are asking about Dallas because they are relocating here or are thinking or moving here. To my surprise (or maybe not too surprising) is the amount of people from California in these forums. So my hope is that more and more people will move here from California and bring all the good food, culture and weather (or lack of). Then I can convince my family and friends to move here and I’ll be all set and happy.
