Damn, I feel so old this morning!

In the shower, I heard the radio playing "Bang Your Head" by Quiet Riot. I used to listen to that stuff in high school, and all of a sudden, it's now on a classic rock station! posted_image

Sure, my 20 year class reunion is this year, but geez... nothing like shoving us out the door into "Old-guy Oblivion"!

What the hell? Classic!?!? What is "classic", anyway? It reminds me of the old Toys-R-Us commercial: "I dont wanna grow up, I'm a Toys-R-Us kid"...

-------------
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Your only as old as you feel! I know I am a Toys-R- Us kid. I don't think I will ever grow up. Besides growing up is no fun.

Growing up is good, they would not trust us under the hood or with a container of resin at age 10. Only thing I manage to buy was putty at age 5 from the hardware store. I had made some holes in the walls and wanted to fix them.

I say do all the things now you could not do when you kid because of safety reasons and not being old enough.

Peter Gabriel - Sledge Hammer

and

DJ Jazzy Jeff Ft. Will Smith - Summertime

I miss the days when those songs came out, and I was born in 1982 !

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.

I feel strange. I have deja vu and amnesia at the same time.

You may be in luck, since I happen to work at one. We just had our annual state inspection and it went great.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

Oh come now Flakman, give thee ole forum that magic year into which your wire harness (umbilical cord) was cut with your vocals roaring high dB and you began to groove into world.

Oh what, I say, oh what year was that? posted_image

(If anyone is wondering, I am simply asking for the year he born in, but in a 12volt fashion)

It's just like Chris Rock said in his HBO special " You'll always love the music that you first got laid to............ "

Never feel old, just growing old.
