Just one of those nights

Don’t you ever get those nights that there is something inside you that is screaming like hell, and unless there was a way for you to “get it out there”, you are going to stay awake for some time? Tonight is just one of those nights.

Despite the fact that I came from a very tiring overnight but no sleeping party at my best friend’s home the night before, from my niece / goddaughter’s 7th birthday celebration a few hours ago and therefore almost no sleep at all, I am still in this predicament. I’m almost quite sure I’m the only person involved in all these events who still hasn’t hit the hay. I guess it is quite true that the mind rules over the body. If the former gets no rest, then neither does the latter.

Then, I remembered a moment I shared with an awesome musician friend during the aforementioned overnight party. I had been arguing to him about the stuff I thought about music. The topic is a bit complicated, and thus I will just try to do justice to the point of what he said: that music that comes from the heart is good music.

And indeed as I pour my heart out into this post, I thought of a little something different to try. Basically, I am gonna use self-therapy on myself by making some music “that comes from my heart” even if I am NOWHERE near being a musician. So I decided to sing my heart out on a recording song from Karaokeplay.com (LOLOLOLOLOL!!! try the site it is very addicting.)

It wasn’t hard to pick a song – basically I didn’t want it to be too hard and that the lyrics should be saying pretty much what I’m feeling. So I chose a song from a movie I recently watched from the daily download list – Way Back into Love by Hugh Grant & Drew Barrymore. After a few tries of recording, adjusting the lame speakers on my notebook and keeping juuust the right distance from my built in generic microphone, I came up with a recording that seemed ok. SEEMED OK is the right phrase – I don’t know how people will receive it since I’m one of the worst judges of any work I do on my own.

So here’s some courage for ya – the link to my recording!

One last thing, thank you to all the special people that shared their moments with me in the last two days. It was epic – seriously. I feel like I’m about to really live a life now.

Time to go to sleep.
