John Mayer...remember him?

The other day, I was stumbling around in the Times Square Virgin Megastore, bopping to some unusual Euro/techno music. I was there because a friend alerted me about the 2 for $15 sale they've got going. So, I didn't know what I'd pick up, but I'm a woman with a credit card...What did I have to lose? LOL. I usually don't buy more than 2 CDs at a time from VM anyway, given that I'm a card carrying BMG member (I love them!!).

I came across the debut album of that yummy crooner, John Mayer, for 9 bucks. What a deal! I grabbed it without a second thought. And ya know, I'm really enjoying it! I love his one song, 83. It's so personal and sweet. I'm transformed into a fan in 24 hours. He's deep. I love his one quote, "I just found out there's no such thing as the real world...just a lie you've got to rise above." Sonny disagrees with this, but I'm all for it. What the fuck is the real world, anyway? Is it post High School? Is there a point where you wake up one morning, stretch, head for the bathroom, turn on the shower to clean up for work and then.. OH SHIT... You're in the real world? I honestly don't know. And maybe that says something about me and how much growing up I've got to do. Or maybe my man John has a point. Everyone's bracing themselves in high school.. Wait till you get out into the real world, the crotchey old Biology teacher warns. Does living in the real world involve making minimum wage, sans health insurance and paying taxes through the nose? That's what most people are doing. Or is it living in the middle class (as my middle class friend believes)? I guess this issue might be flavored and colored differently for each individual.

See what happens when you buy a John Mayer album?
