according to meredith, all we want is more time.
all i want is to watch one show on the damned television without hearing one of my friends’ songs. tonight it was this guy. (and an extra special thank you to grey’s anatomy for playing that other song during every single promo spot ever available).
(i think these guys are fantastic, by the way, and you probably should buy their music if you haven’t.)
i don’t mean to be the jealous type; it’s just strange that you can be so close to something you think you want so badly and still not touch it.
do you know what i mean? it’s like i’m back in a group of kids at recess, waiting to be picked. i stand there and watch the person in front of me go. then the person to my left leaves. then my right. soon i have a moat of empty space surrounding me, and i’m starting to question the validity of my dodgeball prowess. actually, though, i’ve kind of been wondering all along, and now it’s like the emptiness is simply confirmation.
i know it’s not like i’ve run out of time. i’m still really young, in the larger scheme of things — if you’re into that kind of thing — and i also know that to judge one’s successfulness against others isn’t a wise life-strategy anyhow.
but some-time-s i just wonder where this story of mine is going.
