My singing career has been halted by living in HK!
Ok. My mom has always told me that i have a beautiful voice. Even wanted me to join the chorus in high school. Jeannine makes fun of me because i am really an awful singer when you turn off the radio that is singing backup. However, I am a masterful songwriter with such cb radio hits as "big sweater girl" and "slurpee". These climbed up the charts and you may be able to hear them covered by Mike. St. Laurence in a bar in new hampshire (he pays me 7cents a rendition). So I don't have the best voice, but ashlee simpson is doing it! Here's why I will never make it. I am too embarrassed to practice. Why you ask? I live in hells kitchen. The mecca of broadway singers and apartments with thin walls. My apartment building is filled with great saxophonists, opera singers and a lead in hairspray right next door. I hear them all day doing scales and warming up for their show. They also just sing while they are hanging out. Sometimes they sing conversations like they are living in an actual musical. What does thin walls have to do with my future singing career? Well, it's simple. I can't practice. The whole building will hear me. I am an avid shower singer, but i can no longer do that. Professional singers may hear me and think that i am going to be competing against them at their next audition. I don't want them to think i am a hack trying to make it. Plus, i like to make up songs and sing them so that wouldn't be appropriate either. So my singing career is on hold right now, plus i am too old for american idol. I will continue to write dope rhymes though. Here is some freestyle i did after watching 8 mile. It's getting me a lot of street credit.
i'm tolerant of a lot of things.. people, places, faces..
but' i'm not tolerant of a certain thing.... lactose...
i'm lactose intolerant..... sharkblog out.......

I have to believe that this passion all started swinging around the pole in the basement singing "Celebration" with Karen, Kati and myself as back-up singers.
