Lalala

I miss singing! I remember as a kid half-enjoying being sick because it meant I didn't have to do ANYTHING except eat jello and watch TV. NOW, being sick means no singing, and no singing means very very sad times. And when I don't sing, I tend to not play guitar, and when I tend to not play guitar, all the calluses on my fingers decide to fall off. :( I know, there are worse things. But still.

Today is another CD party. I hope to get through another chunk of orders.

Ok, no more dilly-dallying. There is rest to be had.

p.s. last minute addition-- Emcee Miko just posted the "Unofficial Vote for Kina Rap Song". haha, awesome! you should check it out:

@jen
yes, the advantage to my being ill is that everyone gets early blog posts! haha.
@jim

the evil wiki-deleters are no longer threatening deletion :) situation handled!
@tim
ooh! the blackness told the future. creepy. as for the camera they filmed with... it was something crazy, called a "Red 31". not sure if it's HD or not, but it's pretty top of the line. i'll let you look into that if you want to :)
@chrischun
hello north virginia! thanks for writing!
@gene parmesan
asking fans for "get well" videos while i'm recuperating isn't a bad idea... but I have some fears. 1) no one would make one (SAD!) 2) that the youtubers that watch and don't read the blog won't be as understanding and will be like "grr! stupid kina is copping out! i'm never coming here again!" i shall think about it :)
@emceemiko
you rock! that is so cool. not cheesy. it's excellent :)

hey I got first comment.

That was pretty good for being a throw away. We all our own worst credits though I guess.

Hope you get well soon!

I really need to get on ordering your CDs. Maybe I will do that tomorrow if I think about it while I am online.

I hope you start feeling better soon. Being Sick sucks.

I've got it! The blackness symbolizes your feelings on not being able to play music. Maybe figuring that out will stop the nightmares of being back in school taking tests in English class (although I did used to get A's).

I did check out what the internet had to say about the Red 31. Not much, but given that people renting it hook it up to HD monitors, I'd guess it's at least HD-capable.

One last thing. Building on what Miko said earlier in the week, with the Patriots winning today, and going for an undefeated season in the Super Bowl, which hasn't happened in 35 years, there's a pretty decent chance that this year's Super Bowl could be the highest rated TV show of all time. In case you're not excited enough. :]

When you get better, I want some "Walk On" I LOVE that song. And also, I noticed you like James Taylor and he is my favorite musician (and you are slowly working your way up next to him!!) SO please play some JT!

You are simply amazing. Get some rest! :)

nice article, great pics too!
he does bring up the coffee-shop a bit, though.
I never got to see you working there when I stopped by [I never made it during the morning shifts :( ]

but what a way to end that article....

brings me to the verge of tears myself :')

Hey Kina, hope you're feeling better. So my Giants made it into the Superbowl, now I hope and pray to see you there too!
Good Luck, I'm pullin' for ya!

P.S. I still can't get over your song "Together" it's my all time favorite; even better than Gotta Digg! lol

Good Luck!

hey!
you totally plugged my video. i am honored, flattered, etc.

thats awesome. thank you.

if ur ever down, i would love to do those collabs with you on a song, you could pick..

it seems to be a trend, (e.g. airto and lisa lavie, bridget and fozo, happy slip and kevjumba, etc) the list is long on this new trend taking over youtube, seems people are doing these split screen collabs where one plays piano and sings, and the other sings too or something like that..

but i dont know if u think this would be a good idea, but i think if u sang, and i spit a hot verse on a well known song, like "no one" by alicia keys, THAT WOULD BE SO *()&^)*) HOT hahaha

i promise u. oh man, that would be wonderful. im not even just saying that just to say it, i think alot of what people are doing is pretty redundant, u gotta throw the youtube community a curveball and it will totally stand out... oh man. hahahaha

it will totally stand out. let me know if ur down, and if not! all gravy! =)

but yeah! i got a bunch of my friends to vote for u daily!!

ROCK ON KINA
miko
"vote for the female" hahaha
