How weird is it to look up at the TV and see someone with whom you attended high school? Well, sure, Tripp has The Mraz, but still. Tonight I happened across VH1 to find John Aboud staring back at me, a guy I hadn’t seen for 20 years since moving away from Douglas Freeman High School following freshman year. I suppose it isn’t so much ‘weird’ as a pleasant surprise, both in that he’s doing something I recall him being good at (read: being funny) and in that it afforded me that rekindling of old, old memories from childhood (talking in the halls, working on school projects, discussing which girls were hot when we were rangy ‘men’ of 14). It seems like eons ago.

How weird is it to find a post by Ray about discovering oneself on VH1? Certainly a pleasant surprise. I recall you wowed myself, John H., Philip D. and Robbie J. with your ability to recite the entirety of “Alice’s Restaurant.”

And, ahem, “rangy.”

C’mon. That song’s only–what?–25 minutes long, right? Easy. I like to think of it as my very own “Charge of the Light Brigade.”
John, how’d you find Made of Glass?
And, yes, ‘rangy’. Well, you, me and Philip, anyway. As in: ‘gangly teenagers.’
