once upon a time...

...so after reading and commenting on karli's blog i started listening to my old DMB album, under the table and dreaming. now, this is the only dave matthews cd i ever owned. i listened to it incessantly once upon a time.

you know how music can transport you immediately back to a certain time? well, this transported me directly to a time before i knew ANYONE (with the exception of my sister) who reads this blog. or at least that i know of... unless shane reads this blog...and i only knew him because he was mr. social at the park...and nick corcoran was merely that ADORABLE life guard that was also a FRAT BOY so that was never going to happen...

it reminds me of sitting in coffeeshops writing for hours in my marbled composition notebook listening to either the chatter of angsty teens or my walkman which usually held mixed tapes with the likes of dmb, rem, smashing pumpkins, violent femmes, urge overkill...

...now i've got to go get out the photo albums and be nostalgic. life was so different then. once again i thank the HP for the amazing journey i'm on... i'm pretty friggen lucky...
