Bluetooth Headsets are a Singer's Best Friend
May 30, 2008
The sight of people walking down the street yakking into cellphones via wireless headsets used to unnerve me. If it wasn't bad enough that they were talking loudly and not paying attention to their immediate environment, the fact that they appeared to be talking to themselves owing to the absence of a phone clamped to their ears made their behavior seem all the more freakish.
So many people use wireless headsets these days that the "she's not deranged, she's just talking on her cellphone" phenomenon has become commonplace. And I'm happy to report that ever since I started taking singing lessons, I've found a way to turn the public's gradual acceptance of the wireless racket to my advantage.
Whenever I walk down a street, I take the opportunity to practice my scales, arpeggios and songs. If I sing quietly enough, I just look like someone talking via a Bluetooth headset. A great way to squeeze in a bit of vocal practice without worrying that whether I look like a weirdo, it's an ingenious ruse.
On another note, I'm skipping town for a conference in North Carolina on Sunday and may not have time to blog until I return to the office at the end of next week. Needless to say, I'll be leaving my wireless headset at home.

Hi Queenie,
Read this beautiful speech by Samantha Power:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/samantha-power/message-to-graduates-be-a_b_103886.html
Your blog reminded me of it, albeit a little off subject, and I just wanted to share her words with you.
I look forward to
hearing you and
your scales on the
street some day.
Maybe I already have,
Mr. Stick

Mr. Stick
I read Powers' speech. At first I thought you were taking the piss. "He's having a laugh," I thought to myself. "My silly blogpost about bluetooth headsets has nothing to do with Powers' profound life-lessons and staggering carer." But then I came across the part about the lack of quiet in our lives and things began to click into place. And then, more generally, there's so much in that speech that makes sense. So thank you thank you thank you for sending it my way. It's strange really. I have no idea who you are, but I feel somehow like you're watching my back.

One of my favorite quotes, the origins I've never known...
"Logic can never decide what is possible and what is impossible."

Actually while this might be their lone choice, it is not their best alternative. The property holder has lost the majority of the value that they have in their home and will harm their acknowledge, now and again for whatever length of time that five years or more. www.usacheckcashingstore.com/san-diego
