Hey guys, if you want me to stop posting in here...speak up, but it could pertain to everyone...technically.

Actually, singing really is okay, but so much harder when I'm just singing to one person. In front of an audience--it's okay. I love doing studio work, except for that one person who is behind that window, probably watching my face get all contorted and crap.
It's the writing and recording stuff that keeps me at bay. I know I need to do something with it or I'll feel like I've wasted my life--and somehow, the gift that someone gave to me in the womb. Others may have more of that gift, but I must be able to sing for a reason, is what I feel. The thing is, I do have something inside of me, and I could spend my whole life singing something that someone else created, or I could try to do it myself...seems logical, and very therapeutic? So, why do we sometimes run from the most logical path? Probably because logic and comfort don't necessarily go together.
I am generally competent at whatever I am presently doing, but I really only even remotely feel attached to the music idea. I just spent $30,000 (can't wait to start paying that back) on a degree in advertising, and I'll probably never step foot in an agency. I've never thought of anything else I'd ultimately like to do, other than something involving music. The strange thing is, I keep doing things like go to school to learn how to do something ELSE. Not a bad plan I suppose, just in case.
I've always wished I wasn't so conservative as a person, cause it seems that the real good performers don't tend to have that as a personal quality. And I'm not talking about politics...I'm talking about comfort zones! Don't even talk to me about politics--unless you want to talk to a brick wall. No, not really.
Anyway, sorry for taking the stage...seriously, kick me the hell off the board if you are sick of me...and prozgrl--sent you an email!
