i stumble over words
Im pretty good at talking to myself and saying all the right things... but when it comes to people I stumble over what I'd really like to say. I suppose it's only those I stand to impress...but I get the notion that it dosnt matter. Why am I trying so hard? This person is no different than me. I guess its that age old acceptance thing.
I've really been dwelling over my favorite musical groups lately. The recent success of fall out boy errupted this obsession in me. Im almost scared. To explain myself... I've been a fan of their music forever and I read an article that my friend marc sent to me where pete said something along the lines of H'es been writing what people feel forever but noone cared, now suddenly people are digging through his parents garbage.... but I was there from the start unrecognized for the lack of shows they played in ATL or my lack of information about up comming ones. Music means alot to me and so do the artists that perform. Now they're being perverted by MTV into some pop punk icons that are home to the hearts of thousands of screaming 14 year olds everywhere.
I am very happy they've become successful but the intimacy is gone. It made me pannic about the other somewhat underground bands that I listen to. Im a bit frantic as to when I'll get to meet my favorite performers... Im all about being on a personal level because no matter what all of them are still people.
I dont mean to sound nit-picky or anti-mtv I have nothing against the success of musicians obviously thats why they're in that industry to become a success and be known...I would just like to meet my muses before they become untouchable.
This corrilates with me stumbling over what to say in the event that I meet one of them. I'd like to be able to say something memorable or "cool" however it usually dosnt result that way...although i dont get star struck just at a loss for impact.
