iSing

First of all, I am up way later than I usually should be on a school night (11:00!!), so. Let's get this thing done.

Recently, I acquired my Class 5 Driver's Permit. Which means I can now legally drive an ATV across a highway! Oh, and drive a vehicle by myself. So, now that I have all this alone driving time, I finally have time to listen to music. I like music plenty, but I'm a person who can't listen to music while doing other tasks -my head gets too cluttered. But now I have a nice excuse to listen to my music for a good half hour, which is the amount of time it takes me to get anywhere. This has led to me to find out something about myself. I enjoy singing!

Not well, I might add. I can only sing at least one octave above the accepted notes of any popular song. Mainly because they are all 'sung' by computers these days. However, I still try, and since I'm alone, who really cares? So, now I get to enjoy singing along (terribly) to all my favourite music!

But what about... the radio?

The van I occasionally drive is equipped to play an iPod... but does not have an adapter for my iPod touch, so it frequently falls out, causing loud, startling static, which causes me to fix it, which causes my eyes to not be on the road, which causes accidents [potentially]. So I prefer to listen to the radio, which never falls out of its adapter. However, the two old men who do the morning show on the local radio station fail to play many of my favourites, and instead enjoy broadcasting songs I don't know the words to. Does this stop me? NO. I have discovered a new joy in singing to songs I don't know! You would be surprised how incredibly easy it is to completely block on the lyrics of a song and sing over them. And you feel awesome too, because hey, guess what? You just wrote a song! Sure, you're not getting paid, but maybe it's for the best, since the words probably don't make sense, don't always rhyme, and follow a wandering train of thought rather than a real topic worthy of singing about.

So that's my new hobby. You don't have to be a good singer to let slightly melodic words come out of your pharynx.
