I Believe I Can Fly

Today I spent most of the afternoon on the social networking loop: Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Formspring, etc. etc......  the internet can suck me in sometimes, and I loop around to the same sites, and it needs to stop! AAAAH...but it was good to just waste some time and be unproductive, gotta be honest.

Tonight I played at a private party for this guy Sanyale. He was throwing a dinner party in Columbus Circle for his co-workers, and the theme was setting goals and accomplishing them, so he wanted some inspirational songs. I sang "Something," one of my originals (I'm gonna be something...I'm gonna go somewhere, etc.) and then I sang "I Believe I Can Fly," or rather, we all sang it. Haha, they knew it better than me, all the words, and inflections, and they were even harmonizing! It was awesome, actually. GREAT energy....They took CD's, and signed my mailing list, and I even got a delicious to-go plate of rice, pasta, lasagna, chicken wings.... It was definitely a good showing for me! Posting a clip below of me rehearsing "I Believe I Can Fly."

I discovered a band called "Little Dragon," thanks to a post on facebook from my friend Lucas Madrazo. So I looked them up and downloaded a bunch of their songs. They're from Sweden, and the lead singer is Japanese-Swedish, and has a really cool voice. They have a bunch of artsy videos on youtube, and I am posting one below.

ALSO, LAST NIGHT MY NEW NEPHEW WAS BORN! I welcome to the world Calum Jonas Shenk Colvin, born at 1:26 am yesterday morning! So now my nephew GUS has a little baby brother!!
