Famous names and sorry confessions

[m_cobweb]

I'm just all over LJ today, aren't I?

I think someone I dated briefly in the early 90's is on the new Beth Orton album. I don't think there are very many guys named Jon Birdsong who play trumpet--and he really was that good. He was also one of the guys who flaked out on me when he started to have "feelings" for me and skated back to an ex-gf. We never did iron that one out. (Although I wonder now, if it really is him, if I could parlay our history into backstage passes when Beth Orton plays here next month--? Heh heh)

I also had a roommate in college named Carla Fry who went off to LA to work in the film industry. I keep seeing that name in the production credits of various movies and I always wonder. She was one of the nastier roommates I've had (not just my opinion, either), so I've always sort of hoped it wasn't her--not nice memories, and also for the selfish reason that I hate it when mean people are a thousand times more successful than I! Not something I'm proud of, but there it is. :-P

Jon, though. He is talented enough to deserve this, so I'll have to accept it. Sigh...

Mean people suck.

Find Jon's e-mail address somehow and write to him!

Heh. It's a thought! (backstagepassbackstagepass...)

Keep in mind that having a name in the credits does not *necessarily* equate to anything significant in the way of "success" -- a lot of those people don't get much more than a name listing.

Also keep in mind that there's more to success than making money, or achieving recognition for a job. You seem to be doing pretty well in other regards... ones which *I* at least would consider to be more important.

I wouldn't object to hearing more about that at some point.

I realize a lot of this today is hormones talking, but I feel singularly unsucessful far too much of the time.
