Default Ever feel like nothing goes your way?!

Well, I do.
I had it all sorted out, I had the songs written and I found a dude who would record the songs at a relatively cheap price with a great sound quality. ($30 per song, none of that $20 an hour bullshit)
So I had the band, I had the lead guitarrist, the singer and the drummer, the dude who was recording us said he'd do the basslines at no extra charge because he liked the songs. So what happens first, before we even start recording the singer decides that he doesn't really want to sing so wished me luck with the project and out he went. The lead guitarrist said that because I used to be a singer in a pop/punk cover band that I could sing and play rythm at the same time, but a week later out he went because he just decided he didn't want to play anymore, even when I told him "well, just record this guitar parts for me" he wanted to charge me $50 a song to play, I said a big **** you to him and out he went (and he's my cousin).

So now all that's left is me and the drummer, well we only got through recording the first 2 songs musically speaking, the drum tracks and guitars and everything but the vocals are done. But now, I have this just incredibly ****ed up discovery that I can't for the luife of me sing this songs. They just have to ****ed up key changes and I'm not even a singer!!

The dude that's recording says that he's confident that I can sing them, but I just have to learn a bit on how to sing, because I get to nervous and **** up to much., So I just started taking singing lessons, and the teacher is really good pointing out at me what my problems are etc etc...

But it's just taking to much ****ing time to do now, so now I decided to keep recording the music, but the drummer said that he's to busy right now and he ain't gonna be in town till october. So what am I to do now!!?

Anyway I just decided to just pause up the whole thing for now.
Maybe I'll rearrange and re-record the songs so that the key changes are gone and I can sing them properly. Even If I don't have the greatest voice, they'll at least be recorded and I can create a myspace page and stick 'em on there.
