Insomnia. x(
- When you up at 5am while all everyone you know is fast asleep it really puts your life into perspective.palimpsest
- You're less than a decade away from a retirement home.palimpsest

- I've gone from being able to drink coffee 10 minutes before bedtime in my 20s to drinking coffee 6 hours before my bedtime at 46. The window keeps closing.palimpsest
- If I drink coffee after, say, 13.00, I'm in trouble. I can kiss a good night's sleep good-bye.Continuity

It's thirty six years since Bobby McFerrin released "Don't Worry, Be Happy". Thirty six. This does not make me feel happy, and I'm starting to worry about it.

Painted m first wall outside this year, we were there for 4 hours or so. Didn’t feel too physically taxing but when I got home, after food I fell asleep on the couch with the cat in my lap for 2 hours. Also feel sore now

Went to the 25th anniversary of a club I started doing flyers for back in 2001 tonight. Nearly missed it because I once again dozed off on the couch.
Glad I went though, met some people I hadn't seen in years, obviously we were a lot older. Met a wiman that I used to sneak into nightclubs with when we were about 15 years old, she was still going out in full party mode, some serious dedication.
The club started at 3pm and anded more or less at 9pm, where more actual young people came out to party.
I'm already back home.

It's thirty six years since Paul Simon released "You Can Call Me Al". Thirty six. This makes me feel fine, because honestly, that shit is very, very old, and I don't worry about it.
Thirty six years.
- It almost feels as if the pop music scene has changed since then.jagara
- How about 40 years since the debut A Flock of Seagulls album.lemmy_k
- When I was in High School my parents and their friends went to see the Beach Boys 25th anniversary tour. I remember thinking that was so old!fooler
- Now most of the music I listen too is 25 years old.fooler
- Half the music I listen to is 50 years old. The rest is spread out to every year since.CyBrainX
- "t almost feels as if the pop music scene has changed since then." You keep trying to flex with this, but I can't at all see the point you're failing to make.Nairn
- late 90's electronica for life!imbecile
- He made a seeing about AI?

Does anyone remember (before the Internet) how we....found out how to get somewhere without a map, or found out about a cool event to attend?
For the life of me, I can't remember how I did just about anything without Google search or the Internet.
- The only thing that I can remember was, that just about everything was by word of mouth.utopian
- magazines, local zines/leaflets/local newspaper - find out about local stuff. Friends! Real life human friends and a landline.shapesalad
- You didn't need a map because you stayed in the place you grew up in and didn't venture further than a 10Km radius from your home.shapesalad
- Life was good... I miss it. People trusted more. "I'll see you next friday, 7pm, outside such and such pub." that was it.. no text, find my friend etc.shapesalad
- If they weren't there, you'd find a phone booth, call their home, speak to the parents etc.shapesalad
- I could remember all my friends phone numbers. If you asked me now for my mothers phone number - I have no idea, need to check my iPhone.shapesalad
- I can still remember my friend's numbers from when I was a teen, as too their car license plates...Nairn
- I remember a lot of "I'll call you at x'o'clock" and then waiting by the phone for it to ring, hopefully not interrupted by the Bill Payers.Nairn
- I'd find out about gigs from the music press, local radio, flyers, ads at the guitar shop.zardoz
- Paper maps were common pre internet. Flyers often had simplified 'we are here' diagrams.zardoz
- Very useful was the noticeboard at the student union (maybe a UK thing, that)zardoz
- Of course, alot of this extended well into the internet age. I'd say the rise of smartphones from around 08 was the real Year Zero.zardoz
- Thomas road maps, still got someYakuZoku
- Posters
mIRC
But damn, some of you are ancient brografician - Melways, inpress and beat!sab

"TV total" and Bully-parade were two German comedy shows that i was watching next to The Daily Show and SNL, I laughed my ass off on these.
So weird that this was in 2004.

I had to buy something at an unfamiliar store. The entrance was impossible to find, I had to walk back and forth and all the way around. Found these dumbasses on Google Maps and left them a 1 star review
