When you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do?

Soo... as a reply to request from a suggestion I gave to Gina (yeah, figure that one out), I kinda sorta half-promised that I would learn to play and sing the song Powerless by Nelly Furtado and then facebook it. Yeah, not gonna happen any time soon, Gina.

For one thing, every time I go to record it, I choke up. Just like I do when I have to sing by myself in front of people who aren't blood related. Yeah, I know, I did a few songs for my friends while they were helping me pack up. But that's a little different. I just can't seem to get past that initial nervousness that tells me I will mess up, and then I do.

Secondly, I have nothing that is adequate enough for my liking to produce a good quality sound. Tried my sister's camera, that wasn't very good. Tried a webcam, but those are always iffy. It's just not going very well.

Thirdly, and I know this will be hard to believe, but I'm no Nelly Furtado. She can do stuff that I can't. Like make a good music video. Get a back-up band. Get on the radio...

So here's my apology to Gina, in case I made a promise I can't keep. I don't think it's gonna happen. I'll do it live for you one day. Just don't ever expect me to be on the radio anytime soon. (Like you did in the first place, right?)

By the way Gina, you should be updating our blog soon... If we ever remember how to sign in, hehe.

Hey you the one outside...
