Bored? Try Karaoke!

I went to a karaoke bar last night...by myself. I decided that I wasn't going to sit home and be bored when there was a perfectly good Saturday night awaiting me. I went in, sat at the bar and ordered a drink. The music was pretty sucky for the first hour or so. So I pulled out my trusty laptop and did some writing. They were singing stuff like Frank Sinatra and Johnny Cash which is not normally a problem unless it is being sung by way off pitched senior citizens. After an hour or so and a drink or two, the music miraculously improved tenfold. It really doesn't matter if it was the music or the alcohol, the point is that I started to have fun! A woman kept stopping by my table asking me various questions about stuff in general and nothing in particular. After talking to her half a dozen times, or so, we were, of course, best friends. I proceeded to join her and her friends for the remainder of the evening. We had a blast dancing and...you guessed it...singing. In my case very badly, but whatever, I thought the music was good, so maybe everyone else was as tone deaf as I was by then I sounded like the best singer on the planet! It's possible. I wasn't booed off the stage or anything so traumatic. That's the nice thing about karaoke bars, everyone there is just trying to have fun. I'm sure there's other things going on, but, all in all, I think people are there to enjoy themselves and aren't expecting much more than a good time. Yeah, I know, my name is next to the word "naive" in the dictionary. The point being that I had a blast and I think I might just have to meet up with my new "friends" and make a fool of myself again...soon! What...I'm good at it!
