Was I the only one who wasn't astonished they they ended up looking like the El Chupacabre? And 1992 was a boring year. I think Batman Returns was the number one movie that year. Some good albums: The Chronic, Broken ep, Dirt, Angel Dust, It's a Shame About Ray, Little Earthquakes, Check Your Head, Rage Against The Machine, Vulgar Display of Power, Psalm 69, Fully Completely and Core. I was... 15 years old. Fuck.
I feel old when I realise that I was in High School when Halley's Comet last appeared. <a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halley's_Comet" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halley's_Comet</a> Theoretically, I could still be around for the next appearance of Halley's comet in 2061. I doubt it though. The 1986 appearance was an anticlimax anyway.
I was 17. Everyone except for Stealth can get off my lawn, while I vacate his. Allord can stop to piss on my flowerbed, though, for having decent taste in music.
Wait... I thought we were talking about 1992? (confused) If you're 29 this year, you were nine in '92.
The bar scene. Fuck, it gets worse every year. I look around and the faces of people keep looking younger and younger. Even worse is being out in a college town. It just doesn't feel right anymore. I worked at a local restaurant a little while back and I remember when they hired a high school kid to be a dish washer. When he said he was born in 1994 I did a double take. Took a while for that one to sink in.
I was at the shops on Friday after work, just picking up some groceries and minding my own business when this absolute stunner comes down the aisle. All shes wearing is a sports bra and tights, so i guess she had just been to the gym or a run or something. This chick was a solid 10, seriously one of the most amazing bodies i have ever had the pleasure to see AND with an amazingly beautiful face to back it up. She was obviously young, but the way she looked and carried herself i figured she had to be at the very least 18. Im not usually one to be gobsmacked but seriously she was amazing, the term 'built to fuck' came immediately to mind. I stopped and stared after her as she walked off down the aisle. She ends up finishing up at the checkout next to mine at the same time i do and we head out of the shop at the same time... which is when she picked up her school bag (which was incidentally my old school... where i graduated 12 years ago. So best case scenario, if shes in year 12 now, she was in year 1 when i finished high school) Yeah, that made me feel fucking creepy and fucking old.
I'm with you lust, if I didn't need a nap, change my depends, and hit the Old Country Buffet at 4, and be asleep by 7, I'd put a cap in the upstart's ass. Turning 40 in a month or so, THAT makes me feel old.
Don't forget Rage Against The Machine. That will go down in history as being on par with Zeppelin IV, The White Album, Thriller, etc.
Checking ID's. I used to just make sure they weren't born in the 90's. I feel like I shouldn't be serving people born in '91. I'm dreading the day when your birthday can be in 2000 and still legally drink. My niece is also starting kindergarten next year. I was a senior in college when I heard my sister was pregnant. Did I really graduate that long ago?
