Houston, we have a problem

Ok, so for those who know me - I tend to have no "off" switch when it comes to being silly and making jokes. For example, just today I was at a friend's birthday luncheon at Yum Cha and heard news about Whitney Houston dying. I immediately thought to say "Houston, we have a problem" but my social conscience kept me in check. However, it only kept me in check for about 10 seconds because afterwards I said "Did you guys see the pics of Michael Jackson on his death bed? He was so WHITE!". Then I proceeded to laugh...thats right, I laughed out loud...

...at my own joke.

...I think I also clapped at one stage?

I tend to clap alot when im laughing or enjoying something....Or applauding for that matter.

Thankfully people did laugh, but then shortly after someone said "Dude you should be a comedian" and then made a reference to Russell Peters.

ARRGHHH...

I hate it when people do that!! It's the equivalent of going up to an Asian person when they're driving in a hotted up Honda Civic and saying "Dude, you should be in Initial D". The only link is the fact that they drive a stereotypical car and are in fact Asian....thats it!!! There is NO other link!! Except the one here to explain WTF Initial D is.

Still, I was flattered :D

Anyway, this weekend was quite jam packed with music. I spent almost all day yesterday working on guide vocal/backing vocal tracks for my solo EP titled "Horizon On Fire" (Click here for a snippet on what i'm working on) and also managed to fit in a guide track for Griever, which is a rock band I play guitar in.

I have to admit after completing my Masters it feels so good to just be able to devote my time to this kind of thing. But it can be absolutely exhausting! Other than the personal fulfillment, i'm sincerely hoping this music shiz takes off in one way or another. I'm really pushing for it this year since i'm 26 and not getting any younger...

Lets keep at it, shall we?


PS: Whitney's drug problem could've been resolved simply by replacing the cocaine with baby powder.
