Raves/Parties. The real shit; in warehouses, dive bars, back alleys, barns, forrests and at the beach. Not in swanky ass, sparkly clubs.

The Grateful Dead.

Regular Aphex Twin releases.

Constantly discovering new music by buying a piece of vinyl just because it looked interesting. Now I learn about stuff online first and only buy what I really want to have forever.

Monthly Sandman and Cerebus comic books.

what i loved most about rave parties was the excitement of all the different locations they were at, and finding out ~ last minute where 2 go - some places were creepy, and then the cops would turn up!!!

the music was awsome and i loved the lighting 2!!!!!!!

Having dreams is not a youth thing - us ummmm more mature ppl can dream 2 and the best thing about having dreams when older is that you are more wiser and capable of making them happen!!!

Thanks for the !

Oh I am still a dreamer in my older age, I just gave up on hope in many ways in the last 5 years. But I guess that has not much to do with my age probably.

OK, I've tried long and hard to think of things I miss, so here's some things from the 90s I DON'T miss

1) subzero® hangovers

2) all the indie bands where the singers only used vowels

3) those cassette player adaptors for cars so you could plug in your discman what a lot of messing around for a shitty sound!

4) shitty wages

5) ringing around the suppliers to locate all your syquest cartridges because those fuckers cost an absolute fortune

often i find the need to let go of certain desires 2 allow 4 new dreams is just a part of the path of life - if u dont let go of the old u cant go forward

thats how i c it - and trust me i know letting go is sooooooooooooooooo hard sometimes

i used to call them walkman - and i said that not long ago to my kids and they were laughing at me

i said in my days an ipod was called a walkman and that was it

come 2 think of it ~ it was a dumb name to call portable music with head phones

i bet u there are orgers here that still have one!!!!

it should have been called tapeman or cassetteman

discman contraption I'm talking about is this:

and when you drove over a bump in the road the CD skipped

1. Kurt Cobain

2. Germany

3. My beautiful, tight, firm ass

4. Adro and ephedra

5. Dancing until sunrise, then going home, having sex, and passing out

my gran would have healed it 4 u with the sign of the cross

she was a little old stumpy lady with grey hair always praying - but sometimes she would say very very very norty & rude things she was fun to b with and lots of things amazed her ~ and things that she could not work out all came from the devil i had fun explaining stuff to her and if it got 2 hard i'd tell her from the devil, it became our joke ~ i miss her heaps
