flashback... nine
So KMTT has this feature called 9 @ 9 where they play nine songs and media sound bites from a particular year (so far they have all been in the past, no future year's songs have been explored, I think they are missing the boat)
Today they played 1987
Oh I could taste it. It was the year I graduated Highschool and started college. With the temperature of the air the way it was it really reminded me of that first year of college. All I cared about were card tricks, school some, pizza and girls. Not in that order.
I remember that for 5.95 you got a large pizza and 2 pops from Domino's pizza. Those guys would run massive amounts of pizza into our dorm. Our dorm was 23 floors of tower. There were not right angles in the place at all. The lobby would be crowded for the delivery. It was so good.
I remember the nights I had engineering graphics so late it was almost impossible to get dinner. We'd have to rush to the cafeteria from class to eat. Lots of pizza nights on Mondays.
Engineering graphics still used pencils and on very rare occasions... ink. Yes I'm that old.
My first math test at school was a 35% which was a cold hard slap in the face. It worked my first quarter I made the dean's list. English was a bear and I started finding out that I really preferred non-fiction to literature. I can remember writing a whole paper about a classic magic tome named: Our Magic. Which really talked about how to develop a show from tricks. Man was that a hard and boring paper. I really learned how to do laundry and when.
The song that really kicked me back to that whole world was George Michael and "Faith." I wouldn't be caught dead with that on my iPod. OK well as Mo points out the best thing about iTunes music store is you can buy really embarassing music in your underwear late at night for $0.99 and nobody knows. So if you get a chance to check out my iPod... maybe it'll be there, but I won't admit it.
Update 5:21pm: Uh so ya... I didn't go to the music store... nope not me. I didn't buy "Faith" for .99 nope not me no fuKKKKin way. NO sir not me. Moi? you jest. NOPE. Yo tengo nada. ... ya

Uh huh.... So what you're saying is that it was a *different* George Micheal 'Faith' song that I found on your iPod? ;-)
