Last night I went out to my folks place after work, had supper then mosyed downstairs to see what my dad and nephew were upto. Turns out they were playing Rock Band on the Nephew's new Wii. I was recruited to play the drums. I managed to stay in the middle with the drums.. not failing, but not excelling.
MJ decided he wanted a turn at the drums since I was doing alright - he figured he would be able to exceed my ability. I took on the guitar from him and he took on the drums. We both failed big time! Meanwhile dad seemed to be a singing genius, even though he sounded like a mono-tone Bob Dylan.
Finally Dad left and I took on the singing duties and MJ went back to Guitar. Here I excelled. I was brilliant. 92% was my lowest score. I rock. We decided to go on the tour, and we made it to the 4th act. 17 of 63 songs we played before I had to quit. MJ told me I sounded like a donkey at times, but I had the enthusiasm and I made it sound like a rock song instead of a country song like dad did. =D
I came into work today and announced I'm leaving the company to start my career as a Lead Singer for a Rock Band.
ROCK ON!
