Renewed old love?

There was an interest I had 10 years ago. Or at least something I thought I loved. Sometimes I wonder if it was more an obsession. Her name was Opera. I used to study for four or fove years on and off. I tried out for a couple of schools and found not interest so I gave up. Recently I was singing karaoke in a International Distract bar when a woman questioned me about my voice and trainning. Next thing I know I had a business card with the word "Seattle opera" inscribed on it in my hand. Since then I have had a private audition which went super well and I am signed up gto formerly audtion for the Seattle opera Chorus on March 10th. the Chorusmaster told me my voice was a gift and that I should not waste it. So herein lies my dilemna. I enjoy music in several aspect right now. I play in sevceeral band. I write my own songs. I play accordian and saxophone and trumpet and a host of other instruments as I need to to get one project or another completed. And it is fun. When I get involved in opera, it is different in a good and bad way. I become obsessed with perfect and cannot think of much else. It is the death of my innocent crush and the birth of a long obsessive commitment.

PS: I lost my digital Camera during a brief excusion to the same ID karoke district. i have been pining for it ever since. I am heading out on vacation soon and I have no way of recording it. I hate you stupid durnk karaoke Jeff. you have betrayed me!

Don't you remember you said you loved me baby?

This city amazes me for its cute and adorable people. And it s cute girls who sing the carpenters. So I dedicate this new crsuh to Maggie who sang the most adorable version of That carpenters song with all the "baby, baby, baby baby baby..." in it. I love the Carpenters. they remind me of my mother, but that specific song annoys me. But when she sang it it made me blush a little bit. I actually had the guts, or liquid courage enough to talk to her for a bit. Who knows. Maybe I will see this adorable girl someday again.

Heart,
Jeffrey

confessions...

Don't we love them Zoe asked me abiout the things I have gotten away with in my life. I told here this. I have gotten away with not teeling at aleast three women that I love them. And then I thought about that and I no longer felt like I had gotten away with anything. Damn you truth.

I danced to sould music tonight until my legs gave out. I watched movies about Love and inspiration under the guise of Beethoven. I freaked out about opera auditions.

oi.

I am tied of these persed lips.

Heart,
Jeffrey

I am watching an infomercial about armageddon. Should I be concerned about that? At first I thought I was watching normal news. They are selling a book and CD called "11:59 the Countdown" for some count of money. They are referring to wars that are hapeening and to come. I am usually sarcastic and have a rather dismal feeling about human progress. Then I watch some religious people pushing the end of the world. And I feel the opposite. I love life. I love people. And really The religious fucks preeching and trying to legislate the end of the world can kiss my ass. I see the mess we are all in, but I also know that a certain amount of humanity is fighting it. I have no book to sell. but I know about a greayt soul dance night going on tomorrow in Seattle. And right now I am living for that. Kiss my ass whackos!

My crushes are everywhere as of recently. Mostly I am in love with music again and some other forlks who I have been told not to go for by non-trustworthy folks. Anyways. And that Scottish knitting girl who speaks italian and is 6'1". Dear god. Did I stumble into a briar patch. TOnight my shoulder is soar from a girl named Pickles biting me. It made for good pictures. I sang Opera on the overpass and I freaked out about realizing a dream I had priorly put to rest.
