So here's a little secret I'll share with you guys.  No one knows this about me, not even my wife.

I love to sing.  Holy shit, do I ever.  Not only that; I have this suspicion that I might be good at it.  I can't really say for sure because I've only ever heard myself from inside my own head (you know how when you hear yourself on an answering machine and say, Ewwwwww I sound like that?!).  All I can be sure of is that I can hold a tune and hit the notes that I want to.

One of my favorite things to do when I get out of work is to belt out music at the top of my lungs in my car on the way home.  I mean some serious, raspy voiced, Zeppelin tunes, rock n roll, all that.

All day long I'm usually singing.  The thing is, it's different when people are around.  If there's someone around me, I intentionally try not to sound good, or rather, I'm not doing my best.  I hold everything back a bit.  I figure that way, if someone makes a snide remark, i can put it down to the fact that I'm not bothering to sing well and wouldn't have to confront the fact that there's a real possibility that I sound like a diseased yak.  Plus, I really hate musicals and have this thing about people breaking out into full song for no apparent reason.  They look like jerks.

That's really about all I have to say on that.  Is it possible that I'm a fantastic singer?  I guess it is but I have no clue.  Would I ever work up enough courage to give it a go for real in front of others?  Most likely not.  At least, not until I could record myself banging one out in private and then listening to the playback to see if it's even worth it.

Not much likelihood of that one happening either, though.
