Another post? so soon? !!! yes! tis true!
Just moving along because I think the last post even to me sounded a bit weird! :D quoting Space Ghost: ("thats when I have to go lie down") ^_^
In the absence of anything meaningful, prepare thyself for a rant and some random thoughts! :D
RANT:
ARGH! (dont all rants start with a good exclamation of anger?) (Argh..arrrrgh..rrr..no no, more guttural. use that phlegm in the back of your throat. one two three.. ARrrgh! there you go! much better!)
My spleen shall be vented! Civic video, the current bane of my existance. it is NOT POSSIBLE, nor is it EVER possible to get your shift taken by someone, even when you absolutely need it. Ive had to go there to close when i have exams at 8 the next day, ive had to work there on both Christmas and New Years, on more than one year. Some weeks Ive worked over 40 hours there.
Tomorrow morning, a scant 6 and a half hours from now I must rise to open the store. This is in spite of having put up, two weeks ago, a message that said: "Sam needs his shifts covered for the next two Friday Mornings As he is at University from 8:30 to 4:30." Doesnt work! No one takes it. frantic ringing around tonight and still no one! So im going to have to miss the first half of the day. this is not good. we have to get a certain number of hours during the course to qualify for the certificate. ARGH! civic video... Why dont I just quit? good question. I think because im stupid. Yep. that explains it. I have another job. i get paid by centrelink. why bother with the extra stress? I dont have a good answer to that aside from 'Im loyal to the place' 'ive been there for over 3 years now'. and that sucks.... argh.. ARGH....ARRRRRGH!
So thats the rant.. now for some random stuff!
Im hopefully buying a car next week. i think i said that yesterday! :P after that money is spent im saving once more. I definately will be travelling at some stage this year. England for sure at end of year is my goal (to visit Nic!) and I really want to get over to NZ! argh! stupid car destroyed man bang crash thing with the bitterness and the gnashing of teeth *mmm-hay*!
Music music music. i have annoying pieces going around in my head non stop. ALL IN SOL-FA! ARGH! do so. mi do. SO si la mi fa fi so! mi do. so mi do la fa re so so, etc. Tomorrow night we have our final concert. Big choir is our item we're doing a whole range of songs from something in Korean to Ave Maria, to Orpheus with his lute, to A Jazzed up mix of "shenendoah" and "The Water is Wide" by Peter Churchill (over from England for the shchool.)
Heh heh. in one of the songs, one line goes: "O Gram-pol-tron" cant help but think of all things Transformer. sounds like another one of those Decepticons! Related to Fraser perhaps?
My next post will be a picture post! so once again be prepared! I have many many interesting pictures to show! and some not so interesting ones too! Man, i feel like this whole last two weeks has been non stop stuff. ive been so busy i havent had time to think about stuff. aside from at lunch times. cant sing while eating. :P
By the way, i promise this is the last random thing!
If you find that your throat is gone-ski before a singing exam or big performance, heres a few tips. Drink lots of Pineapple juice (has an enzyme in it called Bromalene which is good for throat) And steam your voice. By that, I mean take deep breaths in the shower, have a sauna if possible ;) and make sure you drink lots of tea. tea is the best drink. Why? because the steam actually is able to moisten the vocal chords. Other drinks dont reach the chords because they are blocked off when you drink to stop fluid getting in your lungs. with tea, the steam goes down before the fluid, and so isnt blocked by your body! HAH!
Trust me, these things ressurected my voice from nothing! remember! it may save your life one day. And if it does tell me about it. because that would be one weird story.

SAM out!
