    At 33, am I getting old?

    So my girlfriend, who is a freshman in college, comes home during a break between classes today. At school, this guy was whistling a song and a girl asked him what it was. "Soundgarten. It's classic rock".

    Goddamn, does this year's college freshman class really think of Soundgarden as classic rock? What ever happened to "Pink Floyd" and "The Who" being classic rock? Are they Golden Oldies now?

    I think of Soundgarden as being NEW music. Sure, some of ya are shaking your heads saying "Damn, I still think of Pink Floyd as new music."

    And round and round she spins.

    Aging happens fast. It's starting to scare the hell out of me. Hell, if I know what's going on but Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" is 11 years old now. Fuck, that seems new to me too. Pearl Jam's Jeremy is as old as my father's "Abbey Road" was when I was listening to the Ozzy Osbourne in 1980. And "Abbey Road"? That seemed ancient to me at the time.

    It gets worse. Last night, I saw two television commercials that I thought were tasteless. Am I changing or is the world getting sicker? Whatever happened to that ten year old that thought loogies were cool? I hope it's the world changing and not me. At least I like techno. Or is that getting old now too?

            I saw something posted before that I got a kick out of. Something to do with kids entering college and a little about them.

            Things like...

            They have probably never listened to a record player before, don't even know what an 8 track is.

            "Where's the beef", they don't understand

            and so on

                        Where's the Beef? 1984. Today's college freshmen were born that year.

                        The lady in the commercials made half a million dollars from them.

                          I DJ at a drunk asylum on the weekends in Detroit, and here is some examles of shit I have to listen to every week...

                          "Can you play that song "How Soon is Now from the Wedding Singer Soundtrack?" I tell him, "The Smiths? Sure!" and he says, "Who!?!"

                          "Can you play some McBreed?" Pronounced like McDonalds...I told him "Its' M-C-Breed!" and said, "Huh!?"

                          I was playing Pschadelic Furs, "Love My Way" and some kid literally asked me who it was and if it was new...I told him, "Yea, in '83!"

                          I feel old...and I'm only 29!!!

                            Shiiiiit, This is from 2002

                            They are too young to remember the Space Shuttle Challenger blowing up

                            Bottle caps have not always been screw off, but have always been plastic. They have no idea what a pull top can looks like

                            They have likely never played Pac Man, and have never heard of "Pong."

                            The compact disc was introduced when they were one year old

                            Most have never seen a TV set with only 13 channels, nor have they seen a black & white TV.

                            They cannot fathom what it was like not having a remote control.

                            "The Tonight Show" has always been with Jay Leno.

                              When I was a kid, I had a little black and white TV for my room. The 13-channel-plus-UHF selector broke one day. Forever after, I had to change the channels with a pair of pliers.

                                  I lived in Cocoa Beach when the Challenger disaster struck.

                                  I went to Cocoa Beach High School. They used to let the entire school go outside to watch the launches when I was in 9th and 10th grade.

                                    I remember walking in between classes in 10th grade and someone saying look over there.....You could see this huge cloud of smoke over the ocean. Then as we got into our next class it was all over the news.

                                    P.S. Went to Seabreeze High School in Daytona Beach.

                                              When I was a kid, I had a little black and white TV for my room.
                                              Yep, had one of those and thought it was great. Also changed channels with pliers.

                                              I remember when we got the newest latest tv, it had push buttons to change channels, no remote but it didn't have knobs.

                                              Never mind, it had a remote. ME



                                              The challenger was a major trajedy. I remember it well also.
                                              I remember the day Elvis died also.

                                                You are only as old as the person lying in bed next to you feels...

                                                My dad had a remote control back in '77, it was called his 4 year old kid (me).

                                                When I think of BBS's, I think of using my comodore 64 connected at 300 baud (that was fast for the time). You had to be fully versed in Star Trek episodes or they wouldn't let you download shit.

                                                      Let's not get started on the Challenger subject, I still remember all the morbid jokes from 7th grade Art class.

                                                        I remember when my VCR had a cord connected to a 4-button remote control.

                                                        I remember ONTv!

                                                        I remember when I had to get up to push the buttons on my cable box.

                                                        I remember my Dad yelling at me that Rap was a fad.

                                                        I remember going to my first BBS (Yogi's Cave).

                                                        I remember playing games on a Colecovision, Odyssey, Intellivision, TurboGraphix 16, and regular Nintendo!

                                                            How much did those old vcrs weigh?? 100 lbs, 200??
                                                            Had to get help to lift it and move it around lol

                                                            Colin, being 33 and trying to keep up with some freshman college girl will only make you older quicker. Your ticker only has so many predetermined beats in it and you're gonna use them all up wayyyy before your time.

                                                            That's why god turns our sex drives down a little the older we get. It's meant to be that way on purpose so we can live old, have someone wipe the drool from our chins and the shit from our ass while we complain about our aching bones and bitch about the neighbors.

                                                            Damn, thinking about it that way, GO FOR IT !!!

                                                              I remember...

                                                              I remember when the only nude pics you could find were on banners

                                                              I remember banner farms

                                                                                            You should be concerned about being a man instead of a male board whore. I don't know of one thing you have done that deserves notice. Your work is very ordinary. Do you think that you will be younger if you post on a board like GFY? No, you will just become older and more boring as the days go along unless you have a product or service to introduce which is worth our attention.

                                                                                            Go get a job, and try being loyal to your too young girlfriend.

SoundGarden IS new rock, Pink Floyd IS classic rock, and I do know where the beef is. I was a freshman this past year. It's the world changing man, I would get so pissed off in my freshman classes because everyone was so ignorant. Upper level courses didn't bother me as much, but still...
