Ill Maestro


Not fun at all to run the show when you are kind of under the weather. None of the notes sound good and all the melodies fall flat. You're supposed to be hitting the high notes and you can barely hum along. When the music does play though, it's amazing. I think song is a great way to communicate what you are feeling. Kristen Chenoweth does such a great job of proving my point for me. The trick is to act out a song and just happen to be singing while you do it, you have to use your whole body to really convey what emotions you are letting out. But we can't all belt it out like the cheno, so some of us just stick with singing to our steering wheels. Tonight, while I was driving home from class and singing my stress out with Nelly Furtado, I happened to remember the last boy who sang to me. The whole thing hit me so hard I had to check and make sure my airbags weren't deployed. It happened nearly a year ago and still the whole memory came back so vividly I could hear his voice. The drive home just got a helluva lot longer. But instead of playing out the events of what would happen if my car slipped over the white lines, I sang even louder and harder. I could have put Catherine Zeta to shame, her Velma Kelly don't have nothin' on me. It's funny what invokes emotion and what doesn't. I almost got run down by a car today while crossing the street to get to my two o'clock class. Some stupid bitch tried to run the light and instead almost ran me down. Her license plate nudged my bookbag. No joke. But I wasn't even phased. I didn't even flip her the bird. I could have gone all "Im walkin here!" on her, but I just barely looked over my shoulder and kept on walking. I had a class to get to. Obviously I would have been pissed if I had gotten hit. And had lived to complain about it. But it didn't happen, it was just another melody that ended up not being a hit. I seem to have encountered a lot of those lately. But I think it was because I was trying to conduct so much at once. Now I'm working with a more acoustic lifestyle, so I think it should be better. Easier to make a song worth singing. Easier to find someone to sing with, someone worth singing to. I may not always be a good conductor, but at least I'm singing for myself now and not just lip syncing. It's good to know I have a voice of my own. The cheesier the post, the more tired I am. HAhahahah
