artist:N*SYNC

this morning i woke up and just decided "hey, i want to listen to N*SYNC today."

***

i started this entry a few days ago and just haven't had the energy to finish it. i blamed everything from my fingernails being too long to type to my brain not being able to function on the blogging level. throw in an all day trip to the zoo and a lazy Sunday spent reading a book from cover to cover, and well, there you go.

so i have no idea where i was going with this post when i started it, and as you can see, there isn't much in the way of context clues. i have had a really rough few days and what i really want to do is lay in bed, listen to Bon Iver and cry, not write about N*SYNC.

this album came out while i was away at Waynesburg, and since i was stuck out there without a car, and the nearest mall was more than a half hour away, i had no way of getting it. i remember for some reason a girl in my dorm that i was friends with was going to the mall that week and asked me if i needed anything. i said i needed the new N*SYNC album and i had it in my hands that night. Tatia had also picked it up while she was home over that weekend, and we spent the rest of sophomore year listening to it.

i don't have any really good stories that go along with this album other than that. it just occurred to me right now that i actually saw this band in college after my first year at Monmouth. one of my roommates couldn't use her ticket and sold it to me, and i went with a bunch of my suite mates from that year. we were about the last row back in the meadowlands stadium and i don't remember anything. i think Christina Aguilera opened up for them, but i really don't remember even that much. we were so far back i felt like i wasted 60 bucks...i could have stayed home and watched music videos for free.

so yeah. N*SYNC. here's the thing. I'm still really into boy bands stuff. maybe that's why i don't like Nirvana like everyone else. Nirvana killed the boy bands scene, and that killed me. hmmm...
