karaoke and the joys of public humiliation

for sure, i'll do it!

get up there and sing my heart out

or at least my guts

show them that i am just as willing as the next guy to

blow it

in front of utter strangers

and love it

because this is what living is about.

not being the best

prettiest

most talented or adored

but truly living in the moments you have.

"be here now" my friend rohni says, she says it a lot

to remind me

that if i am not here

i am there

and everywhere

gone

into the distance

that is my daydreams and not with

by 

for

into

the people and life i have now.

show up, never let anyone shut you up, but listen: be here now.

oh, and belt "goodbye earl" with your friend dearing on stage.  lo/li/ve it!
