So we were in the car on the way to NYC and I was nervous because I honestly really hate cars and car rides (I do, however, love street racing as a concept but that’s another story). There were five of us in the car; my wife, myself, and three friends.

At some point, we were passing a semi or something, or we hit some weird traffic. A car or the semi got too close to our car and I started freaking out internally. When this normally happens, I start singing what I like to call my “anxiety song” which recently has been Toto’s Africa.

Long story short, I had to explain to my friends that I sing Africa when I’m anxious and while they did tease me, they were also really nice about it. In fact, they kept checking in on me during the walk to NYCC to make sure all of my singing was just normal singing and not anxiety singing.
