What's on your mind?

Today, music is on my mind.
Specifically, SINGING!
So I've noticed that there are some people who "Occasionally" sing, and they refuse to take care of their voices except on the days they need to use them. They usually find their voice isn't how it was before, and struggle with that fact.
The truth is, the voice is an instrument just like any other. You have to take care of it, and be aware of the fact that it changes ever so slightly with age. You can't just yell and scream around, and expect your singing voice to be as floaty as a butterfly at the end of the day
Basically, people need to take care of their voices, or quit complaining when their voice gives out on them for not taking care of it
Anyway, I've been looking at lots of different Metal singers that I find to be great at what they do, and I have been singing many different Metal genres to see where my voice falls. Recently, I ran back into a type that I've been avoiding for a while, because I was actually AFRAID of hitting some of the notes... Soaring vocals!
After listening to a lot of Luca Turilli's Rhapsody and Rhapsody of Fire, I decided to try to sing the songs... and I realized my voice was made for it.
I'd been avoiding it for so long, and my voice was soaring to the sky without a problem! I didn't even know I could hit some of those notes!! (Even the low ones!)
I'm currently working on melding lots of my favorite, singable styles together into my own style, and I may almost have it now. I'm going to work on writing a song that can support my new, eclectic style of singing. I'm actually pretty excited about this...
Before I do that though, I'm going to be going "back to the basics" for a month with the singing videos by Per Bristow. I can hold out notes longer than 40 seconds without trouble thanks to those videos, which is incredible for someone with asthma, but perhaps if I go back to the basics again, I can improve myself even more?
We'll see
And the final thing on my mind...
