May 25, 2004: Karaoke All Stars

Butterflies dancing in your stomach, palms feeling clammy, and endlessly looking for the lever to be crushed by a save. Why you might say that could be on anyone’s mind? Only one answer remains, Karaoke. Some of you might already know that I have put karaoke on my work resume. What fun it is to sing your favorite songs in front of drunken strangers and amused friends. I’ve tasted blood and I want more.

I love karaoke and what I love more about it is luring everyone I know to the affair. Last night at Shark’s bar, a couple of friends and I were brave enough to play in the games. I was dressed nice, slacks and an off-the-shoulder long sleeve shirt that my friends, Nathan and Joe, said grabbed the attention of the karaoke DJ. “He is crushing on you!” I beg to differ; I swear I did not see such thing but I could be wrong. I am pretty damn sexy.

The night when on with its usual routine, we crack jokes about Nathan in Boots, howling at the Wolf, and hearing plans about Nathan’s ‘Boot Soup’ dinner party. (don’t ask) I sang No Doubt’s I just a girl with flying colors, Nathan was threating to sing the Police’s Roxanne and changing the name of the song to Shawna but poor Joe was feeling a bit not with it. My poor little Chitta Pet, I think he had a bad day. Well the night was fun but next time the boys need to bring the lobster costume for thoses who are not willing to come out on karaoke night.
