I am sore. It hurts to sit down. It is such a good thing, because I know that I worked hard to get sore. Actually, I'm sure I didn't have to do too much in order to be sore because I've become insanely lazy. I was way more active in college (I feel as if I'm dating myself) when I had something to do every second of the day. I would wake up early, before my 8 am classes, and go work out. I have no reason to not go work out, I need a good shove, kick, push, anything to get me going.
I've had this on going discussion with my boyfriend about bands. What bands will we listen to in 15, 20, even 30 years and say 'they were cool when we were your age?'. We haven't been able to come up with a lot, but man, there are tons of bands that we grew up listening to, that our parents listened to. I personally can remember listening to Aerosmith, I had to be about 11 or so, and my dad telling me he listened to them when he was younger. I nearly fell off my chair! I thought Aerosmith was this cool new band. Uh, no, they've been around since Sampson and Delilah. Then there's the Beatles. Come on, who hasn't heard of them? I'm sure there are people out there who haven't, but a good portion of the world has. They were legends. Those are just two out of how many bands that have been around.
Now for our generation. We've got the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day.....I refused to put Nickel Back in that category because they're popular because they're annoying (you can't go an hour in the car and not hear the same song play 8 different times on the same station). I can't remember who else, but there weren't that many to list. I'm really going for making myself feel old, but kids these days don't have that great of music choice like I did. I'm sure my parents would throw that statement into a grave; I was a hardcore, dedicated BSB fan from day one. I had every cd they ever made (including the ones that were imports), magazines, posters, action figures, you name it, I had it. I adored them. I looked forward to the day that I had my license and I could blast them in my nonexistent car. They were hot and awesome and all the rage. Loved them and still do, I'll admit it.
I'm really hitting the memories tonight and wondering what kids are doing these days. I can remember being in middle school and living to go to the mall every Saturday with my friends and begging my parents for $20. We always saw the latest movies because the movie theater was in the mall and we sometimes would see them at night. In middle school it was so cool to go to the high school football games, I pretended like I knew what was happening during the game. We would really just walk around the school and have fun. What do kids do now? They can't go to the mall on weekend nights because you have to be at least 18 to go without a parent. I know they go to the mall during the week and play dress up because I have to clean up their messes they leave in the fitting rooms.
Now that I've made myself feel completely old, I feel like I need a bath and to head to bed.
