MY LIFE - 50 For My 50th Day 05: "Caught In The Crowd" by Kate Miller-Heidke and other songs that describe my school days

For an explanation of "50 For My 50th", go here - http://oldermusicgeek.blogspot.com/2013/08/entertainment-50-for-my-50th-50-days-of.html

Warning: The post for the next couple of weeks will be dark and get darker. I had some issues in my life. But like any good story, our hero has to go through his trials and tribulations before he triumphs. I triumphed I have.

In school, I was a big, shy, quiet nerd. Know it's hard to believe. The quiet, shy part obviously, not the nerd part!

So this song really touches me. It actually made me teary-eyed the first time I heard it. But the sad thing is that I was on both sides of this story and did the same thing.

But I don't regret my nerd past. It wasn't always fun, but a number of good things came out. I realized that it's okay, and actually a lot of fun, to get excited about stuff, even stuff other people don't get! And it taught me to sympathesize and appreciate society's rejects and underdogs.

So I wear my nerd badge proudly!

ENTERTAINMENT: Question From FormSpring.Me - What was your favorite book as a child?

As a pre-teen, it was "Man of Bronze", the first Doc Savage book. As a fairly intelligent boy who was unsuccessful with the ladies, I could relate. Of course, I don't think Doc had the same problem that I did!

Hmmmm, but if he was a transsexual in denial, it would really put an interesting spin on the relationship with his five associates!

As a kid, I really liked "Fox in Socks"!

And ever since high school, I have been madly in love with "The Odyssey". Odysseus is the most awesome man ever! Strong, courageous, humble, and a dedicated husband to boot!
