I told you I ran into Britt Duke on the road heading home on Thanksgiving. What I didn't tell you was that I think he caught me singing out loud to some country song on the radio. I know I was bobbing my head to the rhythm when he pulled alongside me, but hopefully I was between vocal phrases at the moment he came up.
I do this. I sing out loud.
There is a question on a friend of mine's Myspace that asks "What makes you laugh out loud?" Her answer was listening to me sing the theme song to Diff'rent Strokes. Back when I lived in Hewitt with Tracey and Kris, Wesley stayed for a few days in Tracey's room. I'm not quite sure I knew this, though, so I went about my morning on a day off as I did most days when I knew my roommates weren't around-- I sat in front of the television and found old shows I watched as a kid and, if I knew the words, sang along to the theme song.
And so there I was, believing I was alone, belting out "NOW THE WORLD DON'T MOVE, TO THE BEAT OF JUST ONE DRUM..." Imagine my embarrassment when I found out she heard.
But most of the time I don't care. Most conversations remind me of some song and I am free with my musical ability (and lack, thereof.)
So there's something about me.

haha that's awesome...I sing out loud too...to embarassing music..ahem, Celine Dion...wait what?
Remember my friend Tim Buechsel, from Germany? We had a funny Tommy Boy experience in the car one time. I was scanning through the stations asking "What do you want to listen to?" Tim was saying "I don't care." We landed on some Celine Dion song from the early 90's and I jokingly asked, "I bet you want to listen to this don't you?" He said, "Whatever." So we stayed on that station and before the end of it we were both singing at the top of our lungs to Celine Dion... I'm sorry, what?
you DO sing out loud indeed.
*poetry alert*
This will be a little random but... Will you go to www.barn.org and look at the latest report on "Major Christian Leaders Are Widely Unknown,
Even Among Christians"... I am really interested in your particular thoughts on the report and specifically the second to last paragraph...
Also, check Blake’s blog soon, if you haven’t already... Pretty moving and powerful...
Mark,
Thanks for the link. (It's barna.org, by the way-- for anyone else looking at a barn company.)Very interesting stuff. I was just wondering what my next post will be about, and you have helped me. Look for something (hopefully) tomorrow.
Craig.
