The IN Crowd

Superficial... some hates it ... some are so hungry for it and some
just dwells in it.. I guess it's unavoidable for me since I DO have to
hang out with people who share the same path as I do. When you work in
an industry that involves media, you are released to this zoo of trend
setters, socialites or just plain talented gurus, who never stop at
anything to give their view on things. It feels good that you are
surrounded by the same kind of people. Despite the fact that you do
not really know them, you know you share the same insecurities as they
do... loneliness.

Singers, models, actors and anybody in that industry share the same
goal. To share their views with the audience. Imagine you are working
on this object that a lot of people are going to see or hear, it's
only fair that you tend to be at your best and pretty fake when it
comes to being nice or just neutral about things. Be it honest or not,
even the slightest little gossips that people in the industry pull
involves a bit of cherry topping or a bit of sugar coating. Anything
has to be nice.

I was once again in this roundtable drinking with these famous people.
I DO not see myself as a currently working artist but they have seen
my work and some ended up appreciating it and some, even if they
don't, have to be nice with me.

Despite the whole fakeness and niceness, I felt at home. It was
something I was good at doing. Socializing. It's weird how you don't
know those who actually knows you and appreciates you. When finally
you get to their point of views about you, if it's good, you end up
being their friends.

Yes, I'm back in the industry... but despite the niceness, I have
managed to keep things real tonight. I have managed to be friends with
those around me with the REAL intention to have a good laugh and a
good conversation flow around a drinking table.

Watch out! I ain't scared to be me no more. I'm gonna do this my way
and those who likes it could come with me.
