Do you ever read a book and find it so good you want to tell the whole world about it, yet when you try to tell people all you get are blank stares?
Yep. And then a few years later, when I re-read that same book, I realized that it just wasn't as good as I'd thought it was at that stage of my life. It was actually kinda trite. The blank starers were right all along. I only thought it was great because I was young and I was being exposed to new ideas that I already kinda agreed with for the first time.
Any of that sound familiar?
And now I just wanna travel back in time and slap my thirteen-year-old self for listening to The Dark Side Of The Moon over and over. It's not that great an album, younger-me!
- coffeemug 18y agoSure, but you could make this argument about anything worth talking about.
- nostrademons 18y agoThen you remember that there are millions of other younger people out there now that are at the same stage in their lives that you were in then. Just because it's trite to you doesn't mean it'll be trite to everyone. And I still think Dark Side of the Moon is a great album. I actually like it more now than I did as a teenager.

Then, I hated it when it was on CD. Then, it was the first thing that ever went onto my ipod. I've come full circle. Nothing else brings back more memories for me, good and bad, older and recent. And nothing is better now for "mellow" hacking. Sorry, I couldn't resist... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlY-JlE5ZCo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlY-JlE5ZCo
