Not to get nostalgic, but I just saw a music video from 1990 that took me back to the 8th grade, when I was dating this very nice girl named Mackenzie Smith.
Mackenzie and I dated for over 6 months...which is like a 25 year marriage for an 8th Grader. When we were dating, Mackenzie's favorite song was "One More Try," by a guy named Timmy T. Never heard of him? No surprise. I think this was his one hit wonder and then he was never heard from again.
Anyway, Mackenzie loved this song, which meant I had to hear it about 7,000 times.
So you can imagine my surprise in seeing the video, after 18 years, on my television this afternoon.
After I got over the normal "Am I really that old?" comments, I couldn't help but think back to those days...not just the ones with Mackenzie...but with all of those crazy people from Holy Rosary in Claymont, Delaware (Timmy Houtman!).
So, for the HR alum I've reconnected with over the years on MySpace...the video link below for ONE MORE TRY from Timmy T is for you...and Mackenzie, wherever you are...I wish you well.
