I decided to replace the audio on this old high school orientation video with one of my original songs. The actual video was produced and shot back in 1985 by our senior drama class and was shown to all the incoming freshman to inform them of the official school rules and policies and what NOT to do, etc.

The two featured nerds, Elmer and Lester, were played by my fellow thespians, Sam Hatcher and Mark Carter.

FYI, currently, Sam is an audio technical consultant and Mark is a Hollywood actor, who has appeared on General Hospital as well as having one of the most memorable cameo bit parts in the movie "Wayne's World" as the guy who is star-struck by Garth's infamous drum solo. Mark is the guy who pops up the very end of the solo and says to Garth "Wow! You're amazing, dude!".

Check out Mark's IMDB page here:

Anyway, glad I could share this after all these years. I hope you enjoy the video and the song.

My Destiny Is Killing Me
by Eric Garner

Concerned with what could happen
Consumed by the past
Focused on the fury to stay alive
and make it last

Avoiding the rejection
Bound up by The Lie
Protecting a perception with nothing but an alibi
There's no need to reply

We're all weaves in the tapestry
Of a life with no vacancy
"Mums" the word to salute the secrecy
Everywhere
But what do I care?
My destiny is killing me

Struggle to be accepted
Study what you don't need
Rely on your ego ruled by nothing but fear and greed

Learn to make a living
Earn the right to sigh
Discover who you really are and then you die
There's no need to reply

I really want to level and wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I am so afraid that if I do, you will decide to leave
So I pretend that nothing's happened and things are just as you expect
I hope you'll never have to open my Pandora's Box of Regret
