Serenading Rob Thomas

No caption needed.

Finding work in Hollywood is hard.  Yes, I know I'm stating the obvious.   But every once in a while you hear about an opportunity you know you're perfect for.  When that happens, you'll do anything to get that job.  For me, that day was yesterday when I saw Rob Thomas and the team from Party Down sold a show to NBC called Temps.  Of course, trying to reach Mr. Thomas to introduce myself and explain my familiarity with all things temping isn't as easy as it sounds.

After a couple hours of insomnia and a bottle or two of Miller High Life, I came up with what I believe to be just the right way to do it.  A serenade.  So using the music from "Smooth" by the other Rob Thomas (alongside Carlos Santana) and some fun lyrics that I wrote, I will hope to woo Mr. Thomas into meeting with me.

Just hit the play button below and sing along.  Rob, Jon or Dan, you can reach me at tempx@tempdiaries.com.  Talk to you soon.

Man it's a good day

Like winning lotto then an awesome lay

I saw you sold a show to NBC

In Variety

My mantequilla, ok my Spanish is que fea

But yeah, I'll take dictation

I'll never take vacation

And if I can't write quite good enough

I would go get my MFA

I need to reach you despite my failed attempts

'Cause you sold Temps

And like on the web site for Office Depot

I'm want to place an order to work on your show

You've sold the kind of program that I'm dreaming of

Give me a job, make it real

Or else I'll blog about it

I'll tell you one thing

I've been a temp for five long years

With every day at the Xerox

I want to pull all my hair out 

Trapped in a cubicle

Not on any pharmaceutical

You feel the turning of the world so slow, really slow

Life passing by

And if I can't write quite good enough

I would go get my MFA

I need to reach you despite my failed attempts

'Cause you sold Temps

And like on the web site for Office Depot

I'm want to place an order to work on your show

You've sold the kind of program that I'm dreaming of

Give me a job, make it real

Or else I'll blog about it
