Back then, didn't want me...
...now I'm hot, they all on me. Anyone who has heard the monotononous, Houston-style screwed up repetition of the chorus on Mike Jones' ("Who?" you may ask; to which I must reply, "Mike Jones!") new single can only be thinking one thing...man, does this guy have a vindictive grudge on his shoulder, or what. I'll admit--the joint is catchy; and besides, who doesn't dream of graduating from high school, going off to college or whatever the next step may be, getting really hot, really rich, and really successful, and then coming back a few years later just to throw it all in the faces of those who rejected you the first time around as you smugly remind yourself that those people didn't mean shit to you anyways?
But as the opening to his video so subtly illustrates (Mike Jones, WHY do you even remember a girl who rejected you at the club over a year ago!?!) the so-called insignificants really do matter. Those random small encounters with random nobodys over the year can make or break an individual's self-image and eventually self- esteem. Those who think they're so fine that they could get a record deal even if they can only carry a tune; those who walk around their heads down and avoid eye contact with any unfamiliar person trying to carry on an introductory conversation with them; those who think their height is really the only thing keeping them from being chosen to be on America's Next Top Model (hey, so what if I'm a little egotistical!); none of these people developed these attitudes in a vacuum. Every encounter, every environment, every image they've seen have helped to shape who they've become, no matter how seemingly significant (or not) the event was at the time.
So the next time you encounter someone new, or even an old acquaintance, think a little more carefully about what you say or do (it is said that your karma is everything you think, say, and do...starting to change these things will change your entire life condition).
You may be helping to shape the persona of the next person to create an entire gleeful second single about their fantasy-like vindication; or the next person who realizes that their success is so noteworthy that the most valuable thing they could do with it is use it to uplift others; or America's Next Top Model ;-P
