Life is such a sweet insanity.
I love life and people. This is a place where I can write down what's happening, what I'm thinking, what I'm seeing and what I'm feeling. After all, life is just one blog entry after another.Monday, April 11, 2005
Gonna Make You Sweat.
During lunch today I decided to head home and play around with the music studio a little bit. I'm still getting to know my way around the equipment and over the next week or so I'm going to have a lot of reading to do, familiarizing myself with Garage Band and the various settings on my vocal processing equipment. It's all very fun and exciting and a challenge that I'm eager to tackle.
So today I thought I'd break up the day and sing a little bit during my lunch break. I popped in an instrumental version of "Could It Be Magic" by Barry Manilow. I cranked up the mic, passed the vocals to my headphones, turned up the speakers and for the first time in a very long time, I sang in full voice, completely uninhibited. And in doing so, I broke a sweat while singing.
It's been a very, very long time since I've been able to expend so much energy singing that I was able to get all hot and bothered doing so. The last time I sang on a mic was in 2000 when I sang the National Anthem for the local minor league hockey team. While I did sing full voice and with lots of conviction, I didn't really break a sweat doing so. Not that I'm a calm, cool and collected performer. Quite the contrary. I get lots of butterflies in my stomach when I'm performing in front of others. But I usually have a very small touch of "timid" on the performance that keeps me from singing really hard.
Being in the comfort of our home and our studio, I was able to sing like I haven't sung since my days at SUNY Fredonia.
So while I may being a bit more stinky at work this afternoon, at least I was able to break out of my shell and share a little music. Now if I could just get this stuff into the Mac Mini so I could share it! :)
