Well, sort of! I will admit to being a car singer. I love to sing and I love music. Whether I am good, tolerable or just plain bad...that is something only those that have heard me can attest to. As far as I am concerned, when a good song comes on the radio while I am driving, I will enthusiastically sing along!
There are times when my confidence is low and I feel vulnerable to what people are thinking about me. On those days, if I am at a red light or sitting in crowded traffic, I will probably not sing along with my radio. But, if it is a really good song that I just can't pretend to be less than pumped about hearing, I might hold my cell up to my ear and pretend that I am talking! I know! How much of a dork am I?
I just can't help myself! Music can make or break my mood. When I am in a bad mood, a good song can, and often does, lift my spirits. When I am in a good mood, watch out world!
I have probably made many people giggle or outright laugh at my "Car Singing". Here is my thought on that: if I can make just one person laugh at me, in traffic, than I have managed to help my fellow man (or woman) have a better day, even if it is only temporarily.
I remember a day, years ago, when I felt miserable. I was upset and near tears the entire day. I was driving home from work and happened to glance at my rear view mirror while stopped at a light. The girl behind me was singing her heart out and dancing her shoulders, arms and hands off, as that is about all we can do while seated in our cars. She made me laugh for the first time that entire day. I remember her vividly, and the funny thing is, I can't remember at all what had me so sad that entire day! I don't know her but, she changed my way of thinking! She made me realize that, the simple act of "Car Singing" can brighten even the crankiest person's day!
So, sing your shoulders, arms and hands off in your car! Who cares if people are laughing at you? Especially when you may have changed their day!
