Two Minute Cold

So I've have a cold. Or the flu. Either way, I have pressure in my head, my throat hurts, and the stuff I keep coughing up and blowing out my nose is a combination of green Gak (remember that?) and really old chocolate fudge sauce. Tasty, right?

Anyway, I have a part-time job where I do a late-shift at a radio station (Because of the position and current events, I can't exactly promote it in other media sources. Let's just say I work at a station that's public for all, somewhere in the Central Michigan region. Somewhere around a university), and I have a shift this Thursday morning.

There's no way in Hell I'll be able to go on air, and part of the reason is that I currently sound like a mixture of Peter Steele and Kermit the Frog.

Now, being the metalhead I am, I'd love to sound like Peter Steele all the time. But that stupid Kermit the Frog part is ruining the one thing I could enjoy about being sick. I have kind of a deep voice already, and it is kind of nasally, but how often is it that I have the opportunity to sound like a Goth/Doom metal singer without trying to change my voice? Very rare, my friends, very rare indeed.

Enjoy these two links: One's a video of Peter Steele's band Type O Negative's "Love You To Death," and the other is of Kermit being, well, a singing frog. Mash 'em up together, and you'll know how I sound. Plus, add dripping snot and the sound of mucus being coughed up, and you'll be on point. Enjoy!
