I was in Best Buy the other day purchasing the new Dishwalla cd. I handed it to the kid and he asked me what band it was. (I guess the thought of reading the cd itself was too much.) I told him it was Dishwalla to which he responded "Never heard of them." To this I reminded him that about 10 years ago they had a hit called Counting Blue Cars. His response to this.... "Never heard it." What the hell kid, did you never listen to the radio as a child????? There is no way that I am that old. I understand maybe not being familiar with their recent work as they've kind of slid out of the mainstream. But hell, they played the song every 10 minutes when I was 14. Hmmm, however if I was 14 he would have been like 7 I suppose. Shit, I'm old.
Feel free to comment on the fact that possibly you know who in the hell I'm talking about, or atleast know the song.... Please be old with me.

I Do : You Should Too
I thought you weren't going to buy the Dishwalla cd and save money. I wish you weren't a liar. :P
No, you aren't old. You're just weird. If by some miracle you survive till you are 70 you'll think, "WOW, 23 was so young....to bad I was freakin' weird back then." :-)
PS - Who are you "me"? I think my guess is correct, but I want to know for sure.
It's stacy...I just always sign my emails me because since you see who the email is from, you obviously know who is writing you. So, I figured he should know who I am from that.
Well my guess was right!
Well 23 is about 1/3 of your life gone. I hear that as you get older time seems to go alot faster so the next 2/3rds should feel like about the same ammount of time as the first third. To make this even better clerks at the CD stores are always about 17-25. SO.... when you go to buy dishwalla's greatest hits when you are 50 on virtual chip or whatever music is sold on the clerk will ask you again what band this is (they will be too lazy to read in the future too) and you say dishwalla you will need to remember that the clerk would not be born for 40 years after blue cars was popular. I kinda forgot where i was going with this so let me leave you with my final thought... Picture your life as an hour glass and right now there is 1/3rd of the sand at the bottom, now just watch how fast those sand particles fall, but as you watch it do that I think i will go have a sandwhich...
