Rocking Times !!

It’s been fun. Pure fun. How else can I describe spending exactly two days (an hour each day, to be precise) to learn two new songs (one each day) and perform them in front of a crazy crowd on the third day ??

I wanted to sing and I did right after exactly two jamming sessions before the gig (well, three if you want to count the final practice before the show). Paranoid by Black Sabbath and For Whom The Bells Toll by Metallica !! Nice don’t you think ?? That I ended up practicing Enter Sandman with no knowledge of it having been dropped from the playlist doesn’t matter, because we ROCKED !! Really !! We had this awesome group, the guitarists (lead – brilliant, bass – superb and rhythm – great) and the drummer and me, the lead vocalist . True I barely practiced with them and I really cannot do the growl type singing that shows the aggression and all but I can sing and I did and with the rest of the band it came out awesomely !! It was really something to go there on stage, look around with a smile and start to sing. The crowd’s reaction was good and that’s all the encouragement you need. The horns, head banging, foot tapping, jumping, screaming, howling…WOAH !! I could feel the heat rising !! Literally !! I had not expected that much of enthusiasm from our college crowd so when it actually came, yeah I was impressed !! I didn’t feel like a fool singing rock songs on stage with the whole band (for the first time), considering how I was in the school choir and though we had a seperate music group all we sang were A cappella’s of all the classics… Never anything that even came close to being rock much less metal or gothic !! Well imagine that !!

Anyway, I had a great time and so did everyone else. There was the dance competition which went off really well even though there were soooooo many performances. Watching my best friends dance with those smiles on their faces… it was heart warming really.

Well in other news, I HAVE FINALLY GOT MY LAPTOP !! It’s not yet with me but it has been delivered and I should be laying my hands on it within a month And I ended up getting into some trouble and found some ways to get out of it and deal with it as well. Really didn’t think I’d be able to handle such a situation should it have risen, but I did and I’ve gotten it out of my system. Took a drive by myself with the music playing and then silence washing over me to purge myself and it felt so good after that. There was a sense of normalcy and satisfaction of having dealt with the matter in a close to calm and sane manner. It makes you grow up. Emotionally, intellectually, and even spiritually. And I naturally found solace in the metal music that I’ve become quite insanely addicted to. Never mind the gore or the gothic themes involved, ultimately for me it’s music and I love it. It helps me cope with things by myself so it’s become a growing and learning process and I’m enjoying myself. I promise you, these are the times I shall never regret any decision I’ve made even with the close brush with ultimate trouble. I’m beginning to love living this life more and more and that’s what really matters !!
