Rediscovered
2002.
I see a 7 year old girl, sitting with her mother, watching PBS. And what does this girl ask her mother....
"Mommy, who's that on the TV?"
"That's Josh Groban."
I was watching his first PBS concert, "Josh Groban in Concert" with my mother. I saw it, I fell in love with it, and I wanted to hear more. I sat there, playing around nonchalantly, yet intently listening to every soaring word and note. Brilliance. I swore that my mouth was slightly agape. What was he singing about, I didn't know. I didn't even care. I couldn't get enough of that amazing voice. A glimpse of heaven maybe? I thought I was on my way to becoming a true fan until....
The next year, where I completely forgot about his music. (Who knows how that happened.) From about 2003 - early 2007. So I didn't know about anything that was coming from Josh (i.e., Troy soundtrack, The Polar Express soundtrack, Closer, Awake, LATG, yadda yadda) Let's say I was blinded by the camera flash of bubblegum mainstream. *sigh*
In 2007, I rediscovered Josh after 4 years when stumbling upon his "You Are Loved" video on Comcast. I knew I hadn't heard from him in a while, and sooner or later, I was hooked. Hooray for serendipity! I then used YouTube to search for more songs, after kicking my brain into Groban overdrive. Songs I hadn't heard of, and songs that seemed vaguely familiar. I clicked on every link there was, and I couldn't stop. Supposedly I felt extremely happy from hearing this music again? The thought of "missing out" on Josh's music for so long came to mind. And yes, I definitely did.
Tiny little shards of JGIC came flooding back. And all the while, I compared current Josh to JGIC Josh. I noticed he looked different, even sounded different. It had me at a loss, because he had matured so much since I last saw him. (Uh, almost a 5 year gap?!) The first music I heard was that classical-type sound which I loved...and it transformed into more pop and less classical. A love it/ hate it/ in between moment. It was a mixture of all three, that's how I felt.
I also began to debate whether I was a Grobanite since 2002, or a Grobanite since the few months I rediscovered Josh. I'd call it either, just as long as I found his music.
Aside from my growing worry of Josh's music changing a tad too much and going mainstream, and even though he'll be changing his material (either nearer or farther to what I first heard), every new accomplishment brings back memories of a 7-year-old me, her mother, and a curly-haired brown-eyed cutie of a singer that stole my little heart.....
And don't forget the voice that goes with it.

Me
I am:
Shy yet outgoing (oxymoron...wha?
)
Vertically challenged
♫A music lover ♫
Not very girly
Lazy 99% of the time
"Innocent"
"27"
A daydreamer
Curious
Questioning
Contradictory
A stubborn donkey
A short fuse! Yaaay....
A non-MySpacer
(no offense)
Uncomfortable with big changes
A romantic (who doesn't love rose petals and mushy stuff?)
Silent but dangerous
Taking life as it comes and then explodes all over it
Occasionally random
A procrastinator
Someone who resorts to video games and any other form of visual entertainment when bored
Suffering---nay, benefiting from Grobanitis
A Grobanite *duh*
Wanting a friend. Will you be my friend? (Ok, ok, quote from RandomLlama's profile
)
List form. Much better.
