Hmmm.  Seems I can't upload just an .mp3.
 
So I'll have to play it into the phone.  Which means I'm not doing it until after 9:00pm hello?  So, check back and I'll sing you a nice little song about the love of my life, written by a dude almost half my freaking age.

Unless someone replies me back and tells me how to upload it.

Now That I've Done The First Audioblog....
 
...I'd better run out and get a 2nd and 3rd job to pay for the cellphone bills that are coming.  But since I did, I'm also ready to put my song on.  It was one that I was too ambious for last time and decided to scrap, but then this weekend I sang it in my lil' "recording studio" and found it wasn't so bad.  Goes without saying though that I hate the sound of my speaking voice and I think my singing voice is somewhat better, but not by much, and that I'm unreasonably and utterly FREAKED OUT by the idea that I'm really going to do this, but I'm going to because I said I would and if I become the next 'Star Wars Kid' with all my embarassing junk out on the web to be ridiculed and lampooned across the planet on which I live then so be it, okay, shoot, because a kid's gotta dream, right?

Riiiight.

Now, how do you upload just an .mp3, instead of a phonecall?

This Weekend

I believe I produced a tape worthy of posting.  For some crazy reason (literally), I accepted what I heard without spine chills.  There is a reverb on my voice, so I seem a little more polished.  Plus, in the "studio" playback, the voice was low and not obnoxious, so that helped.  Yet, I haven't listened to it after I brought it back.  Why?  Because I'm worried that the "studio" playback's machine is different than mine boombox, and that it will be different and awful.  And that's why I blog.  In typing this, I am now motivated to play it to solve this little mystery.

But before I do, I just want to say, being back on contract status is awesome.  I slept like a baby last night, and even last Sunday night too, because I knew I was going to go on contract again.  My supervisor really wants me to stay in the job so she's making great concessions for me.  And last week, I had attended a team meeting at one of my client's house (run by the organization who contracted my company to send me in as a therapist) and they all said I had all these qualities that made me think they were talking about somebody else!  It was awesome, even when my inner crazy-voice told me that they couldn't possibly know what they were talking about because they weren't IN my sessions.  Yet I'm going to have to take their motivations to heart--they value me as a worker on their cases.  That's not so bad, right?  It seems the biggest source of stress was trying to fill an eight-hour day with conscentious work for the compnay.  I couldn't do it.  When I had no supervision to perform, I played City of Heroes!  When my client cancelled, I went downtown and read books for free at Barnes and Nobles!  Reschedule?  What??  So it was probably guilt that made me feel so anxious.  Ahhhhh, yes.  You can take the boy out of church, but thank God that you can't take the church out of the boy.  :-D  Now, I only get paid for the work that I do.  When I don't want to work, I get to have guilt-free ME time.  And we all love our ME time, don't we?  Yes we DO!
