It's always awkward seeing your ex again. But it's worse when you hear his voice almost every time you turn on the radio (even at the station you work at), see his music videos every time you turn it to Vh1 or MTV, or see a shirt, cd or anything else affiliated with him everyday. But what do you expect when your ex, your first love and high school sweetheart, is none other than Julian Casablancas?

Nothing more than that little "booger" he's known her as for all these years. He would never in a million years pay attention to her... would he?
