It's probably only someone in their twenties who would ever try to process the Ramones, Texas politics and Conans pizza with the same brain. It prolly even made sense to you. I think, despite our best intentions, that we do get more inflexible as we calcify. (BTW: large Conan's pepperoni and jalapeno with whole wheat crust. I just wanted to say that.)<BR/>David: I'm not trying to blow smoke up your skirt. Your band was important.<BR/>Plus, how are you doing?!pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675993483165955805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970927334223123519.post-65853589289303829212008-01-23T02:27:00.000+01:002008-01-23T02:27:00.000+01:00Aww.

There was a similar feeling she talked about, that feeling of not yet being weighed down by limitation; being old enough to be in the world and do things, but young enough not to know or worry about precedents, consequences.... <BR/><BR/>Anyway, these photos gave me that feeling too.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889294120616809157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970927334223123519.post-90974790193599289222008-01-17T18:37:00.000+01:002008-01-17T18:37:00.000+01:00Nostalgia's a double-edged sword. So great to loo...Nostalgia's a double-edged sword. So great to look back and remember, but then there's that 'so far the other way my life has gone' moment that leaves you just a little hollow. <BR/><BR/>The mid-80s were great... before the high-tech companies set up shop & yuppies flooded in like the proverbial plague. Around that time I was juggling school and a night job at Conans pizza on 29th & Guadalupe. But what my life really revolved around was tumbling the old boy's club that was Texas politics (down with Bill Clemments!), listening to The Ramones & getting as stoned as humanly possible every weekend.<BR/><BR/>As Archie Bunker would say... those were the days.EuroTrippenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12353005471211518350noreply@blogger.com
