It’s not easy to be in showbiz, especially when you feel like you’re the only one who’s still trying his ass off to be as grounded as he could. Superficial at its best, no matter how much we avoid it, we do have to somehow mingle with the crowd. Well, that’s the whole concept behind my music video called “Headline news” where people started to get disfigured but as soon as you find someone you’re comfortable with, you see them as normal again. But as soon as you look in the mirror, you see your face quite disfigured too.
I bailed out on going to my best friend’s concert with BigSis and yes, that sounds pretty messed up on many levels. Somehow my best friend never did call me anyways and I guess it’s the whole ‘showbiz’ politeness and empathy where KP and I never let each other get too involved with each other in showbiz. We do have a radio show together and we do a bit of cameo’s here and there in both our albums but both of us would not really expect the other to be there if the other is of no use. KP in a punk band does not need an RnB singer ‘me’ to come to his concert to make his day. I guess seeing him after the concert to smoke weed would be more ideal in our case. On the other hand, since my album was gonna be out soon, I do not want to be seen in public too much.
I did end up going to KC’s album promotion as a guest celebrity because I need to get as much publicity as I could and somehow him singing hip hop and my RnB have a bit of a ‘cousin’ relationship. I do want to be there for KC anyways but it was more for my publicity. More of a ‘hey y’all, I’m back and this is me’. Fashionably late and going home early, I hated this life but I had to do this anyways in order to get more reactions. I kinda doubt people rarely care about celebrities here in Myanmar where EVERYONE thinks they’re god but then again, my presence would have at least flashed a moment of ‘existence’ to these people, be it gossip or appreciation which would come outta their petty lips.
Pretty much turned off by a friend of mine on facebook who was pissed off at me for being rude (thanks to drunk texting), I decided to just spend my night watching a movie and just playing some puter games.
Yes, a celebrity’s life is FUCKING lonely!!!
