“Was that you singing out in the hall just now?”
“Yeah.”
“You have a real nice voice.”
“Well thank you.”
“Yeah, you sound great. Should I be looking for you on TV?”
“Heh. No, not yet. Give me a couple of years.”
“What are you waiting for? You ain’t getting any younger.”
“Oh, you know, I’m working on it. I’ll get there.”
“Sounds like bullshitting to me! I’m gonna make it my business to needle you every time I see you!”
“Ha! Thanks. I guess I need someone to do that. Have a good night.”
“Goodnight.”

Ha! That’s great. See, you are going to make something of yourself. Not simply because you’re talented and brilliant, but because you can’t get away from people needling you into using your talent.
Now if only I had that…

This would actually play well into your first album. You can title it “Songs Heard in the Hallway” or some bullcrap like that. You start off the album with the sound of shoes walking down a hallway and then your voice, alone, breaking in, slowly build up the background music, et cetera. You then have a normal album up until the last song, in which at the end everything dies out except the Geniuses’ vocals. After this song you hear the Geniuses get on an elevator and the aformented conversation.
I want 10%.

I’m not entirely sure if needling will be enough….I’m not entirely sure what needling means either for that matter…….

Yo, you wouldn’t believe it, but I was talking w/ one of my good friends at my show last night, and he was telling me about one of his friends who is incredibly talented but cannot ever finish writing a song because he is extremely critical of his own works and will not ever perform a song until it is 1000% (yes 1000 and not 100) perfect. I was like.. hmm.. I have a friend who is just like that…
I should hook the two of you up, and then you can talk about how difficult it is to push those last few notes out of your brain and into the audience.
ps: Thanks again for coming to my show last night and bringing all your peeps!!!! You totally rule!!
YA BOY, soce, the elemental wizard

I hope your new place is MUCH bigger than your present one, you are going to have some serious space issues very soon.

Everyone else I know tells me I don’t have enough confidence in myself, and that I should just have a little more faith in my abilities.
My friend Eli thinks I’m just an asshole with a big ego.
I like that about him.

You are an asshole with a big ego, but I like you.

As Arthur’s hair grows, so does his ego. They are linked, just like Samson.
