Term Life Insurance Digest

Well, I told you I’d tell you how the studio went tonight. Let’s just say I’m here right now and I’m ready to break something. Lots of somethings would be nice.

I just don’t know how much more I can take of this. I am so frustrated that my voice isn’t working. I can’t sing on pitch, and I can’t focus on putting in emotion cause I’m so focused on singing the right notes. I really don’t know what to do. I seriously wanna hurt something, or yell really loud. Maybe even scream. But, I probably won’t. Instead I’ll just tell you about how I’d like to do those things. Hopefully that will take some of the stress away. I think I might go see a movie now. Talk to you later.

So, this may sound weird, but today I took a forty-five minute shower bath. It’s my latest thing to get rid of the phlegm in my throat. I have to get rid of it so that I can sing in the studio. I’m actually supposed to be going there later today. So, as suggested by my voice teacher (sorta-I modified it slightly), I took a nice long bath with the bathroom door shut. I didn’t turn on the fan because I wanted the room to get as steamy as possible. Then I got in the water, and turned on the shower (it was very refreshing). I tried to breathe in the air and use it as a way to moisten my vocal chords. This is really weird telling you all about this. If we ever run into each other we can have a long discussion about how well it actually went (and I can give you more details that I’m sure most readers won’t want to know). Anyway, I’m feeling a little better now. I didn’t get rid of all of the phlegm, but I think I got rid of some of it. I will most likely be trying this again later today or tomorrow, because I have to get my voice into singing condition and pronto.

After I was done I went to work and checked to see how the website is doing. People are still getting term life insurance quotes online. Which is good, cause that’s what my real job (the one where I make the money) is all about. Right now I’m actually at the life insurance office working. My employer loves it when I show up. He actually told me so as he was leaving right after I got here. Hopefully we will continue to raise in the search results and I can continue to make more money. Anyway, I’ll tell you all later how the studio went.

So today I was scheduled to be in the studio all day long (well from noon to 8 pm, pretty much all of the real day for me. After that the night begins). I’m at the point now with my album that all we really have left before mixing are the vocal tracks: lead and backups. I’ve sung all of the lead vocals for all of the songs, but after editing them all, I’ve just been really unhappy with them. I got sick about a month ago and it’s just kicking my butt still. I’m not sick anymore, but now I’m coughing, and having to deal with an unpleasant coat of muck on my vocal chords. It does not make it easier to sing. It makes it harder to sing.

So, instead of being in the studio and finishing the album, I am instead sitting in my office working my real job (I know, I really shouldn’t be complaining). It’s just frustrating more than anything, cause I want the album to be done. And I want to have the CD ready for the CD release show in June. You know, deadlines.

Anyway, I should probably mention that I am starting a new project dealing with term life insurance products for the various life insurance companies we represent. It should be fun. And if you haven’t already, be sure to check out our website for the best life insurance quotes available today. If you haven’t checked rates recently, you could be missing out. The prices are at an all time low.

Well, here I am.  In case you don’t know me, my name is Jon Pinney.  I am an aspiring singer-songwriter.  My day job, however, is a little different.  My current work includes search engine optimization for a life insurance website.  If you’re here reading this right now, you can probably guess that that website is Wholesale Insurance (www.wholesaleinsurance.net).  While this is my day job, it is not my life’s aspiration to make it as a life insurance agent (however, if the music doesn’t work out, then maybe that’s where I’ll turn).  Instead, my goal is to be a popstar.  I want to be a singer.  I want to write and sing music that people will want to listen to.  From here on out, you’ll be able to live through my heartaches and frustrations, triumphs and trials.  You’ll be able to go along with my on my journey to the top.  Hope I enjoy the ride!
