In the past few weeks, I have noticed that the things happening in my life are both to jump-start me with something I have yet to discover. I remember one time when I was frustrated with my job in the museum, my good friend told me that at least I was sure I wanted to be singing.
Truly, it does seem that the world is pushing me in that direction. Last week was perhaps my busiest in terms of using my voice. I received a call from the studio for a follow-up commercial. The next day, I had a wedding to sing at. I always have fun at weddings. I get to belt out and get paid for it.
As for the dancing monkey, he met with the ladies that he was to coach in singing last Thursday. I must say, in all fairness, these rich children were well mannered. They treated me well. Maybe because they know that I was not going to be paid for all of this. Perhaps they know how much of an inconvenience it was for me to spend time with them instead of resting at home.
At any rate, last night we were scheduled to rehearse and the dreaded annoying thing took place, the other two kids who were to perform did not show-up. As for the two that came, only one of them was in the mood for practice. Needless to say, the practice did not go as planned.
The scary part of it all is that the coordinator is asking me to accompany the girls tonight (9:00pm onwards) to coach them during recording. Poor dancing monkey.
I often ask myself: "What sin have I committed to deserve such punnishment as this?" I mean, sure it might prove to be some funny anecdote in the future if and when I decide to become a stand-up comic but what use are these events to the advancement of my carreer?
The sad part is that in all of life’s situations, the answer to any profound question concerning something inexplicable is: "We’ll have to wait and see."
