i sing. its 5 am im alone, getting stoned, playing belle and sebastian covers. recording them. dreaming of singing its 11 am. i got stood up, so im singing along to smiths and morrsssey songs in my underwear for 2 hours, and totally forget about being stood up. its 10:30 pm, im at kick butt coffee. i play 2 songs, and im dissapointed with my performance, tho i get several complements. i stand there wishing i knew a guitarist i could teach my songs to so i could focus on singing. becuase when i do both at the same time they both suffer. and you never see morrissey with a guitar in his hand. its nightime. im at austinist indieroke at mowhak. i get up and sing "there there" by radiohead. the harder part kicks in and there is no singing. i cant just stand there. who cares if people think im trying to dance like thom yorke or something. i have to move. so i freak out, flailing and jumping around, not giving a shit. its last friday. im at the animal collective show. i listen to panda bear sing and i know exactly how he's feeling. i know that cathartic feeling of wailing away. and i am so jealous. its 2 weeks later. i get a reply from a message i sent about starting a project. i get a jaded reply about how hard it is, and how you have to do everything yourself nowadays. i agree and wish i was good enough and had the equipment/money to do it all myself. but then i think. im an awesome singer, and even if im not good at much else, thats enough, and i cant wait another second to sing. its 6 in the afternoon, and im putting up yet another ad on craigslist, hoping to find like minded musicians for collaboration. part of me is hopeful, part of me thinks its kinda pointless. myspace.com/boredomfetish
