The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot - Brand New

In high school, I was on the Forensics team, a combination of theater and public speaking. This brings to mind memories of a afternoons spent watching my teammates practice, and the sweet, talented boy who used the lyrics of this song for his solo piece. He had blondish hair that hung in his blue eyes and carried his guitar everywhere so that he could practice. I had a huge crush on him and he was my first kiss. I still wonder, if we’d had more time and if I’d had more confidence in myself, maybe we could’ve been something. Or at least maybe we could’ve gotten to know each other better before heading off into the reality of life after high school.
