A Capital Idea (perhaps?)
OK. So this isn't one of the posts that took me a long time...it's just a post that came to me as I listened to the merry Carollers on Elgin Street. I asked them to sing 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' and they did. I LOVE Carollers because they make me so happy! They're so brave to be out in the weather, and they're so awesome because their only aim is to impart holiday cheer, and I am all about holiday cheer.
Granted, I don't celebrate the birth of Baby Jesus in the same fashion as other Christians, but I love Him and I know He loves me back and so we're all good, the Baby Jesus and I.
Anyway, back to my (perhaps) Capital Idea. I THINK CAROLLERS SHOULD TRAVEL WITH A BEATBOX, and I want to be her.
I almost flew out of my skin just typing that because of the excitement the idea shoots through my body. I've been doing the work and using the How to Beatbox - wikiHow guide. If you scroll through the Wiki, you'll see that as a Beatboxer, I can make my own rhythms. So I've decided that I'm gonna raise the ante and bring home some Eastern beats when the Carollers are singing a little Hallelujah and a little Silent Night....most definitely when they're breaking down the Fa La La La La La La La La. It'll be the wickedest Interfaith Beatboxing, ever.
Once I've got the beatboxing down solid, I plan on tackling the How to Survive a Freestyle Rap Battle, because between the Catholic and the Evangelist Carollers, there may just be a throw down in the Carolling community. And as a Muslimah, I plan to ride low with the Catholics and have their back with my excellent beatboxing technique.
Whatever you do, just don't call it a comeback.
Thank you.

This is a great idea and I will go caroling with you. I'll break it down Hebrew style and then we can really call it interfaith! I'll bring a violin! Anyone else? -lily
I LOVE this idea! Any chance of you coming down to Montreal to do some carolling here. Shouldn't be just for the Capital, you know.
Thanks Maria - but why do you sound surprised?
Lily, Bring it on Hebrew style. Mixing it up with the semites in our own special way? Sound perfect! :)
Hey Paul! Did you recently get internet at home?? HOW FUN!!!!!
I will totally beepbox down in Montreal! I'll bring Lily with me and you - you must come equipped with an instrument so take your pick :)

p.s. I prefer 'beepbox' to 'beatbox' because my talent is...a little wanting ;)
