Old songs

This last week has been a long one. 30 more minutes and the work week is over. Been a rather uproductive week for me. I have spent every night on WoW... I did fold some laundry for the wife so I didnt get in to much trouble. Tonight, I plan on reinstalling windows on my laptop and getting my Rogue to 39 on WoW. I am going to stay up as late as possible to do so. All the while I am falling further behind in my online classes... damn college.

As for the title of my post, I have always been one that gets sad when I hears old songs from the past. This is so "geek" but I was listening to the Final Fantasy XI soundtrack on my iPod and I was welling up. It brings me back to when I first started the game and was such a n00b. I knew nothing, but the music was cool. I found myself later turning the music down in most zones as I got sick of the tune, but would later turn the music back up and get that old feeling again.

I do this with normal songs as well. You name any popular alternative song in the 90s and I can pretty much recall an event or time in my life that relates to that song. Not even 90s songs, lots of songs. There is a radio station here that plays all 90s alternative during the noon hour, and I love it as long as they dont bring up some unwanted memory.

But i cant dwell on those for long or it just depresses me. There are times that I would do anything to go back in time and live that life again, but I wouldnt ever trade what I have now. Back then I saw so much potential in my life and so did others, and I have let myself down in many aspects.

I do this with movies as well. I will watch a movie from the past, and I seem to forget how long ago it actually came out. Then I sit and think, how old was I? What was I doing? Sometime the memories are good, sometimes not.
