All I Need is a Pair of Plaid Pants
I'm getting out of touch. It's time for me to start saying things like "when I was your age," "in my day," or "whippersnappers."
The first clue was when WLZR stopped playing new music and changed to a "classic" format, without me ever noticing the difference. So my favorite tunes are from the 70's, 80's, and early 90's? When I was growing up in the 80's, the music on the "oldies" station was from the 50's and 60's. 1980-1950 = 30, 2000-1970 = 30... OH CRAP!
Worse yet, I'm 27 and I say things like "compressed music doesn't sound as good as CDs." I don't have an Ipod and don't really care. My two computers are PIII running Windows 2000, with no sign of an upgrade in sight. Oh, and my digital camera is only 2.1 Mp (and I like that just fine).
Now, a recent rash of live-email exchanges has encoureged me to hop back on the Instant Messenger bandwagon. When did I fall off? First, I was invisible all the time, then I just stopped using them. As I write this, I'm running YIM and listening to internet radio.
I've got some catching up to do.
