What are they doing now?
I was in a grocery store the other day when I saw a girl I went to high school with. We talked for awhile, you know, the usual, meaningless "how are you?" talk. The kind of talk where you are doing it because you don't want to ignore them, but your life would be perfectly fine without seeing them again. Anyway, it was funny because we started talking about people we went to school with. One particular person came up because this guy happens to be a musician now. She told me that she heard he had a manager and was trying to market his music down in Los Angeles. She also told me he had a myspace page, so I checked it out. He's not that bad. His vocals are decent and his guitar playing is okay too. But what was funny was it sounded a hell of alot like John Mayer's "Your body is a wonderland". I guess one of his songs is on a compilation CD at Target called "Acoustic sounds" or something like that. I don't want to bash the guy, but his pictures made him look more like one of the backstreet boys than John Mayer. He even re-did a Christmas song!! It was fun remembering the kid I knew in high school and where he is now. He used to be this goofy, jock-wannabe who is most remembered for striking out in the ninth inning to end Maria Carrillo's hope of winning the NCS Championship. He was a nice guy, I think. I always got along with him, but you never could tell if he was genuine or not. Of course, I wasn't the most genuine person in high school neither. I just wanted to share because I think it is great that he is pursuing a music career. I never knew he was into music at all. It is a little too poppy for me and the lyrics are a little stupid, (Example: Anytime you use the cliche, " Same old shit just a different day" in a song, it's a strike against you!), but if he is passionate about the music he creates, than more power to him. It definitely encourages me to value the lyrical aspect of music and how much it actually brings to the table. Otherwise, who knows? You may end up being the next Kevin Federline (K-FED), God-forbid!!! Later!
