I'm the sh!t!

haha but nah recently I found out that my hair could be molded into different shapes using some sort of gelatinous liquid! Makes me feel so cool that I could even walk through town without having tomatoes thrown at me (much)! Amazing stuff!

haha but honestly, I seem to think I'm the **** after like 6 or 7 drinks because i lose ALL my inhibitions and can do whatever I feel like even approach a girl for a dance!:eek: Of course the next day I'm always like "I hope I wasn't being an ass last night to people" because I have often told the truth in my state of coolness!

:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

When I was 13 I had a fringe down to my chin and the rest of my head shaved. I gelled the fringe back over my shaved head. Everyone told me I looked like a knob but I just wouldn't listen.

What? It doesn't work like that at all. Things that I wore when I was a kid may have been cool then, but if I wore them now they wouldn't be (as I'm now an adult). Similarly, whatevers cool for kids these days they'll grow out of and it'll be uncool in their adulthood.

Kids and adults are different.

i just knew that was the look that would last for decades! lol

Being of the same vintage, although not an out-and-out Cure-head, I'm with you there brother.

I looked back at an old photo album recently and I wasn't as bad looking as I thought at the time. It reminded me of that old song "I wish I knew what I know now, when I was younger".

These days I may be fat, aging and balding, but I wouldn't go back, not for a second. The 80's was a grim place to grow up, especially in Ireland. I worked through my nostalgic phase a few years ago and as a consequence realised that the best place to be is in the here and now. We truly do live in an age of technological wonder and personal opportunity, despite the recent downturns.

I remember one particular essay subject for the JC which was 'Youth is Wasted on the Young". They seriously expected 15 year olds to write two page essays on the subject; these days I could write a novel!
