Had so many thoughts last night and I don't know where to begin. Caught the last few minutes of Buffy but was really more excited with catching Charmed. I wasn't disappointed.

I loved the whole plot of the ability to change one's present by asking the future. It's something I have constantly thought of. Me wondering where I'd be in X no. of years. What to do in case I end up being poor and lonely or something like that. Back to Charmed, it's good to see Paige is getting the hang of her orbing thing. I can't wait till these girls get really uber powerful. :)

Then it was off to chatting with my honey. We had a mini discussion on how we are different when it comes to dealing with people for the first time. He said that he would want to get to know a person through "prying". (of course I'm sure he didn't mean for it to sound so negative) I, on the other hand, would listen to people converse (if I'm in a group). I want to get to know how people think, how their minds work. I get to know about that by listening to them speak. What words they use. What gestures they make (if they even make gestures... usually they'd be gay if they do hehehehe).

We proceeded to him asking me why I sing. At first I thought it was a simple question with a simple answer. But when I thought about it later on, it was so much more than that... it was as if I was asked why I breathe. I sing because it is in my nature. I was born with it. It is me. It's not just a talent I was fortunate enough to have, it is me. I derive pleasure from hearing my voice when I hit long lines from a Mendelssohn piece or doing runs from Handel's Messiah. I am enthralled at how people gain much satisfaction from hearing me sing. I like it when I entertain people.

I got to watch Oprah last night and was surprised that Cher was the guest. I was struck with the words she uttered. She said something about what she feels and what she likes about her job... her life. She said something like, she enjoys performing in front of people because she feels like she's a minister in front of her audience, her flock. She gets to be in that moment where she can feel every emotion from each audience member. She's able to impart feelings of comfort through her songs to her audience. And then I thought, that's exactly what it is. It's the ability to be in the moment and know that you have touched someone's life or a group of lives. You have shown the audience emotions through song/s.
