Rock Band

My weekend adventures have further demonstrated to me that I have zero coordination.  I played Rock Band with my friend Elg on the weekend, which we somehow managed to do for 5 straight hours, only stopping when I basically was like, I should go home, it's 1am!

I used to be really good on DDR (that's Dance Dance Revolution to you gaming ignants) so I thought that on a similar rhythm game I'd be decent. I was ok on the guitar, and that was tons of fun (especially Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer and [artist forgotten]'s Smoke On the Water). But in the last hour I thought I'd have a go on the drums and I was DISMAL. particularly, I just could NOT get the hang of alternating between hand and foot. the foot petal might as well have been on another planet. I even tried AFTER the song with zero pressure to alternate Right hand, Foot, Left Hand, Foot, and somehow I kept on trying to do my left hand at the foot petal at the same time. It's almost as if my left hand was like - em, I usually go after the right hand, why isn't it my turn yet? What's going on? Which just goes to show me that I do absolutely nothing that requires coordination of my arms and legs. It makes sense because I play no sport, and even when I drag myself off to do some sort of exercise, it's running. It's also making sense to me now that even when sometimes I try the stair climber machines at the gym, I find it hard to get into the rhythm. My arms and legs simply refuse to talk to each other!!!!

I wonder if that is a dormant part of my brain which, from lack of use, is causing me serious mental harm from the cobwebs that seem to cover it?
