Plato posted:But later, an unmusical anarchy was led by poets who had natural talent, but were ignorant of the laws of music...Through foolishness they deceived themselves into thinking that there was no right or wrong way in music, that it was to be judged good or bad by the pleasure it gave. By their works and their theories they infected the masses with the presumption to think themselves adequate judges. So our theatres, once silent, grew vocal, and aristocracy of music gave way to a pernicious theatrocracy...the criterion was not music, but a reputation for promiscuous cleverness and a spirit of law-breaking. One of the oldest scholars from 400 BCE was literally a grumpy dad complaining about this new devil music

I was in a shop earlier and used one of the programs on my phone (also known as an "app" to youngsters) to identify a song and it was fucken Coldplay. And I think in a couple more years I don't think I'd even feel shame about this.

I'm having a wonderful time. All the hot chicks that wouldn't give me a second thought in my 20's are finally coming around to give me their sloppy seconds. Nice guys do finish last.

Coldplay makes catchy tunes, I don't know why people are at such pains to claim they don't enjoy them.

My friends and I used to go on adventures! (yes, I had friends.) It's been long enough that I'm sure the statute of limitations is up. In the middle of the night we'd often drive out to abandoned places like the brewery, which was amazing!, or the flower mill or find our way into places through steam tunnels and sewers. We don't adventure anymore because, "9/11 changed everything." It makes me sad because the guys who inspired us were my age now back then. Action Squad, I believe they called themselves. We don't talk on live video phone every day like we thought we would when we were younger. But most of us still keep in touch regularly enough through IM, text, e-mail, phone, and every now and then video call and/or Minecraft. When I was a young pup I always looked forward to the fantastic future. Now that I'm here I can't stop looking back and imagining what could have been... I hate touch screens. Anybody ever go on any sweet adventures!?

Am I the only one who lost all zest for life and no longer find joy in anything now that I'm 30?

"Sledgehammer" is on the jukebox right now. I graduated college when that came out. I'll still pass for 30-ish in a dark smoky bar but when does the dieing begin?

I haven't had sex in so long, I can't remember who gets tied up.

Also, I'm so out of touch with pop culture. When I was a kid, I didn't know how adults could be so out of the loop. Now I have no idea where I would find the time to be in the loop.

BirryJoru posted:Anybody ever go on any sweet adventures!? When I was 10-12, I thought nothing of riding my bike 20 or 30 miles in a day. Mom never worried as long as I was home by dark. I used to hitchhike hundreds of miles when I was a teenager for whatever reason. I used to hitch to DC and spend a day wandering through the Smithsonian and around the mall. I told some of my stories about it in E/N a few years ago. I'd dig them up and c/p here but no archives.
