you know...id say there totally is a difference between the "old" stages.
i know id be pissed if i were 70 and somebody said that, i just know! im 70, not 90!

you start seeing less of what you saw more of in earlier ages, not saying its a bad thing. its so much more than that. God knows.

the worst thing has to be is if you live to be old enough to scare small children.

sucks to be old and scare babies with your face

im gonna be scared of babies when im old and senile little shits.


ps: note to self: if you want to get zippo to come out and play, make a thread about age

I'm young and old at the same time. Depends who I am around. I am actually young, but younger people make me feel oldish. But then I realise that is silly because I'm not even 24! Then I punch the shit out of the young people and that makes me feel good. Until the young people can punch the shit out of me, I'll be young.

I'm starting to feel old because I value a good night's sleep over staying out late. I used to feel like I had to be up as late as possible and go out all the time or I'd miss something. I don't have that feeling anymore. I might miss somethings, but oh well.


as for the 90's coming back with the kids...I think it's inevitable, but it's also different because my generation (and a little bit older folks) invented grunge. sure, we borrowed from the 60's and 70's, but there was a distinct effort to wear colors and styles of clothing that went against the neon excess of the 80's. you had to get your plaid shirts at the thrift store or from your dad, you couldn't just buy them at Forever 21.

now the kids are just choosing a genre and wearing what they can buy (for the most part), not making up their own styles.



I went to an all ages show last weekend and saw some college kids that looked like they stepped out of 1997. it was really freaky. one was wearing a dr. seuss hat with smilie faces on it for god's sake. I just kept wondering how they even learned how to dress like that. older siblings? 90's movies?

last week, I overheard one of my 14 year old students ask another one if she wanted to go to a rave. and they listen to Korn.

Since when did you get students? What do you teach?

I was wondering the same thing.

An art class perhaps?

Bluebird, flying high
Tell me what you sing
If you could talk to me
What news would you bring
Of voices in the sky

Nightingale, hovering high
Harmonize the wind
Darkness, your symphony
I can hear you sing
Of voices in the sky

Just what is happening to me
I lie awake with the sound of the sea
Calling to me

Old man, passing by
Tell me what you sing
Though your voice be faint
I am listening
Voices in the sky

Children with a skipping rope
Tell me what you sing
Play time is nearly gone
The bells about to ring
Voices in the sky

Just what is happening to me
I lie awake with the sound of the sea
Calling to me

Bluebird, flying high
Tell me what you sing
If you could talk to me
What news would you bring
Of voices in the sky
Voices in the sky
