Merry Christmas to me! ;) The CD that had THIS version of THIS song was amongst the top 10 things I thought of after the wildfires ran their magic and I “lost everything.” Many a young teenage day was spent memorizing e-v-e-r-y word... Try to tell me this guy isn’t the most talented soul on the planet, gaw-damn!

My Life in Music - Year 12

If you’ve not picked up on this yet, let me tell you that I’m a bit of an odd duck. I’ve a strange sense of humor and I’m just a total dork. There isn’t much in the way of mainstream music that really fits this niche of eclectic music taste, clever lyrics, and just dorky humor, but damn if Jason Mraz doesn’t. 

I listened to “Waiting for My Rocket to Come” until I had memorized every word of every song on the album. The instrumentation and rap/speak/sing vocals of “Curbside Prophet” (not to mention the lyrics themselves) just really appealed to me. Even now, 13 years later, I still remember almost all of the words to this song.

Let’s see...I would have been in sixth grade. I don’t remember sharing the interest in this song with many of my peers, but that’s nothing new. Representing year 12: “Curbside Prophet” by Jason Mraz

Type Songs // ESTP: Curbside Prophet 

"ESTPs are outgoing, straight-shooting types. Enthusiastic and excitable, ESTPs are 'doers' who live in a world of action. ESTPs have a strong flair for drama and style; they live in the here and now, and place little importance on introspection or theory. They're fast moving, fast-talking people who have an appreciation for the finer things in life. ESTPs are usually very good at story telling and improvising; they typically make things up as they go along rather than following a plan. They love to have fun, and are fun people to be around."
