JC's Trip To The Psychic
Mary: He likes being single. As far as their taste in women, the two of them can't be more different (Lance and J.C.). He likes flamboyant, sense of humor outgoing, up with the times. Lance likes the down home country girl.
JC:I like the sophisticated mama.
Mary: You like someone with personality who is outgoing. You have a thing for hair.
JC: Do I?
Mary: Just a lot of hair. Nice, long flowing.
JC:I guess so sure. I 'm not going to agree with everything. I don't really notice if it's a lot of hair. I know that I prefer dark hair to light hair though. I don't k now if I like it long or short or any at all.
Mary: I see you getting to a point in your life where you have a lot of decisions to make. You're a leader and you know what it is you want....And as far as the group goes, you're the glue to the whole thing. You might not come off that way but that's really who you are behind the scenes. I could even see you getting into a solo career as well.
JC:This is something I noticed the other day. Sometimes I'm a great listener and sometimes I'm a terrible listener. What's my deal?
Mary: Sometimes you get a little too preoccupied with what's going on with yourself and once that's more stable, of course you're going to listen to somebody else. There is some distraction. You're evolving into someone else and you're not quite sure where it's at. Have you been absentminded?
JC: I have been pretty focussed as far as album album album. I need to get better at expressing myself lately.
Mary: I don't see you settling down for a good while. I don't get that you're interested in settling down right now. Again you're a high-energy person. In fact a relationship right now would weigh you down. It'll be 7 or 8 years. (Until he settles down.)
JC:I don't put a time line on these things. I just take it as it comes. If she's the one, hopefully I'll know she's the one.
Mary: I don't get a traditional type of marriage situation with you, maybe a more cosmopolitan situation. A lot of travel. You could be on the east coast she could be on the west coast. Multiple homes. It's not going to be such a focus on family it will be more of a cosmopolitan situation, bi-coastal.
JC: I want someone who is career oriented.
Mary: That's why I get the opposite from Lance. You want someone who is interesting.
JC: I want her to teach me something. The most amazing quote I have ever heard was from this 6-year-old boy from Zimbabwe. It was on Nickelodeon. "I need a woman who is strict and smart because otherwise I would spoil myself." Six years old this kid said this. Blew my mind.
Mary: You don't like: Someone who is sedentary, too homey, not active. You'd get bored. You want someone who can mentally challenge you and get you to rise to the occasion. In fact you're a little lazy that way. Perhaps you're looking for a partner who can put a fire under you and keep you going.
JC: Sure I like to sleep a lot but when I'm not sleeping I like to run 100 miles an hour. I'm definitely motivated because I think that's what's going to push me to the next level.
Mary: It just seems funny to me because it's as if you sell yourself short with what you're saying. You give the band a lot stability in specific areas. It's funny to me that you want a woman to keep you going because you've got a lot in you. It's as if you're not taking credit for it.
JC: There are five guys and I do what I do to make it work. Everyone has their different personality and that's what attracts people to the group. We all have our part. When the camera is on maybe I'm not Mr. Personality like Chris but when we go into the studio, I have some decent ideas in there.
Mary: You like to be approached directly.
JC: I don't know. I just don't like whacked pick up lines. I don't like when a chick's approach is cheesy.
Mary: What kind of line works for you?
JC: It was like she approached me, she let me know she was interested, well I said I'm kinda chillin right now I have a lot of things to do and she said well if you miss the train this is the one you need to catch. That's it in a nutshell. Like, if you miss this one there are not a lot out there like me. It wasn't cocky, it was confident and I think that's very attractive.
Mary: As for the band, they are going to be a little more credible, different, individualistic-it's as if their personalities will come through more. And I do get a solo career for you at some point. It doesn't mean you're leaving the band but it definitely is going to be in addition to what you're doing so that is not a bad thing at all.
JC: I probably wouldn't go solo but this year. I started writing for other artists.
Mary: It's not as if you're not being loyal. It's a growth.
Mary: I see you really finding yourself this year. I know you feel it's as if you are wavering but you're not. There is this really strong aspect of your personality that's really focussed and directed. You're really not a follower by nature although you keep coming off as if you are. And there is a real strong sense of will and confidence and direction and that is just going to start shining through. I'm not sure why one part of you is fighting it. But once you get into it you'll enjoy it and like it.
JC: (writing) I haven't been doing it alone though. I have been doing it with two friends.
Mary: In 10 years you'll have a strong woman running your life you're going to love that!
JC: I don't need a Yoko now.
Mary: The Queen of Swords.( a card he's pulled) She'll be very sophisticated. She knows what she wants and she'll know what you want. Are you selling a home or moving. You have some situation where you don't know what to do?
JC: You know I'm temporarily homeless. I got kicked out of my old place. I'm actually living with two friends who have an extra bedroom (in Florida).
Mary: Do you have someone looking for a place for you?
JC: I got a lady who works for a management company. She's in touch with a realtor.
Mary: That's got to get settled. Even though you're on the road you need a home base it can be kind of unsettling without one. I don't know why that's taking so long.
JC: I'm picky. I don't like new homes I like old house with character.
Mary: Move to San Francisco.
JC: They have old houses in San Francisco. I'll make sure I have a place by the end of this year.
My family is thinking of moving from Wash D.C. to Florida. Are they going to make the move?
Mary: Within the next two years yes. But if they were thinking of sooner. No. They're doing it for a reason and that's going to kind of fall through. That's not going to happen and then out of the clear blue something going to come up and they'll be like yep we're doing it. Not in two years. I would say toward the end of this year.
JC: My grandparents are there?
Mary: Everyone's coming.
JC: I don't really see my grandparents moving out of D.C. but hey, that would be cool if they did. They'd be the only ones still in Maryland.
Mary: You could get your living situation together if you knew what you wanted.
JC: I do know what I want.
Mary: But you want it perfectly set up.
JC: I want some place where I walk in and the floors creak a little bit. Some place that actually tells a story.
TEEN: What do you think about your reading?
JC:It was pretty weird. It was pretty neat. Some things are cool to hear her say and some things are weird coincidences. Like out of the blue she said you should move to San Francisco. And I was telling a friend of mine just the other day that San Francisco's a great city and that she might want to consider going there because she's a newscaster.
Also, the thing about my role in the group. That was pretty cool. I feel like without me some stuff would be funky. I feel like I definitely contribute. I definitely feel like I bring something to the table creatively.
I don't really think about how I get approached because I'm so wary of the motive. I believe direct would probably be the way. Straight up!
I'm excited about that. We are excited as a group about this year. We put a lot more of ourselves in the album. We want to be established as artists. This year we want to gain some respect among our peers. We have tried to do that by working with Gloria Estefan, Babyface...
TEEN: Would you ever get another reading done?
JC: I'd definitely do it again. In a weird way I definitely believe there are some people who can reach out where other people can't. Like right here people (points to Mary) they have a gift for insight.
