Are you next?

This article made my day yesterday. Ever heard of karaoke rage? Well now you have. A Malaysian man was just killed for "hogging the microphone" at a karaoke bar. And in Thailand earlier this year, a gunman shot 8 people dead because he was sick of hearing them sing John Denver's "Country Roads." (A personal favorite of mine. I have a great memory of singing it around a campfire with friends.)

Someone has probably wanted to kill me at karaoke. I LOVE karaoke. However, while I was once a semi-decent singer in middle school, my voice has dropped and I now consider myself a bad tenor. I blame Colin for taking ALL of the singing talent allotted to our family. Now, I would really like to rap everytime I go, but it is important to know your audience and sometimes Eminem or even Salt n Peppa don't go over that well. In my experience, you cannot go wrong with Bon Jovi. Journey's a huge hit too. I digress. Moral of the story: don't hog the mic.

So beware karaoke-goers, beware. You could be next.

Yes, it is 8:30 on a Saturday night. Yes, I am at the library. Yes, I should have shut the blog down for finals so it wouldn't distract me.

On a lighter note, I get my life back this Thursday at approximately 11 AM. It can't come soon enough.
