Just To Show It's Not All Bad in meh...

I will say the “On This Day/Memories” option on Facebook is pretty cool especially when it’s a good memory.

The one I shared today was from many moons ago. A friend was in town and she was celebrating her birthday. We went to a spot and realized it was karaoke night. Great. So we were all heavily drinking and I sang a song and that made the KJ ask me to do a song with him. So when it came to us doing the song, he sang to me and backed me up against a wall. I blushed and he said, “We grown! Ain’t no blushing.” So I was giggling and I sang my part of the song and backed myself off the wall and sang to him.

That, my friends, is stage presence. I usually lack this because I’m stupid. I focus on the song, on me, trying to make sure the words are right, the notes and tones are right, that I am mechanical, but emotional. I want to be perfect. This is why I don’t have fun at karaoke. LOL I’m weird like that.

HOWEVER…

If I’m with someone, I feel free to perform because I’m not acting by myself. I literally need a partner in crime to do something spectacular. I realize this about me. I’m not ever willing to be in the spotlight. I will share the spotlight and even then I will give more credit to the other person. I don’t know why I do that. My humility and humbleness is flawed like that. I just don’t feel that comfortable in the spotlight. Never have been. Usually because spotlights on me usually generate a lot of me not being worthy of it from some folks. It’s not perceived, it’s real.

Back to it…Okay so me and RJ sang a duet of a New Edition song, “Can You Stand The Rain” and when I say we acted a damn fool. It was off the charts. We were sitting on stools. I had my back turned while she sang the first verse. When the lead into the chorus came, I turned around slowly, “But I need somebody who will stand by me…” And we clowned through the entire song. The KJ said, “Now how the hell am I suppose to follow that?” LMAO I swear if I do a song by myself, I’m standing there with my drink or my beer and I sip between times for me to sing. TOTALLY unremarkable other than I sound really good.

And when people try to show me off and say I really sing good to other people, I always say no I don’t. Then I get up and sing and then prove that I lied through my teeth. LOL

Dah well…such is life.

And on that note, I’m gonna listen to some podcasts.

Take care and if I don’t make it back here, have a great weekend.

Kindest regards,
Sister
