A time line of sad moments in Josh music history over the past 20 years:

1989 - I become obsessed with the song Joshua Giraffe, if only because it includes my name. My family suffers.
1992 - I receive a boom box for Hanukkah. I suggest we listen to Weird Al on it. My family firmly refuses.
1993 - I buy the first album by Ace of Base.
1995 - In a moment of adolescent boredom I write a parody of the Michael Jackson song Scream entitled Sneeze.
1996 - I buy the second album by Ace of Base.
1997 - I get a box of pencils thrown at my head by a misery chick in art class after I make a joke about Courtney Love lacking any real talent.
2001 - I sing Raspberry Beret by Prince for the first time at karaoke. People clap politely.
2002 - Dictionaraoke.
2003 - I attempt to sell a giant box of at least 50 old CDs at used CD shop. The guy buys two and gives me back the rest (while, I swear, he chokes back laughter).
2005 - I'm finally corrected during Every Breath You Take by The Police when I sing "I'm a pool hall ace!" and someone says, "Um, it's 'how my poor heart aches'." Oh.
2009 - I make the playlist for dance songs at my wedding. Only a few people pick up on the fact that Let's Go to the Mall by Robin Sparkles is not a real 80's song.
