Proof That Time Really Is Relative...

Crap Artos!

Your post led me to realize I've been sporting this high and tight flattop for 38 years.

Music is where it always hits me. I was born in the ‘80s and when I was a kid the Beatles were more recent than Nirvana is right now.

Yeah, I feel it.

The effects are widespread but I can really point it out with cars. Like "antiques" for me are cars from pre WW2, "classic" or "vintage" is 40's to 60's. It felt weird as hell when it started getting hard to find on the shelf parts for my 70's GM step side. No offense meant to the OPs Corvette, but I have a real hard time thinking of cars from the 70's through the oughts as classics. I mean they are just "regular cars" right?

My perception of time is compressed around my experience. The Berlin Wall came down not that long ago, and the Y2K fears were what, a few years back.

What qualifies for retro firearms blows my mind. It has a carry handle, this is our retro line. WTF?!? I shoot that one all the time.

I still remember when she turned around at a concert, bent over at the waist and shook her ass at us. The whole audience went nuts, myself included. Where did the time go?

You dam kids are killin me,LOL Yea I listen to radio and the oldies are now songs that I listened to even after HS & collage,WTF!! I watched the Beatles the 1st time they were on the Ed Sullivan show,same with the Stones/Doors,etc. I watched the Who and Keith Moon blow up his drum set on the Smothers Brothers Show,guess he blew out an ear drum doing it,LOL Time certainly is a funny thing and it gets by us pretty quick without even realizing it. I finally retired in Jan of this year,piss poor financial planning and a few other things but just finally had to do it. At my age its fun/sad to look back but realize it all happened for a reason and wouldn't change much if anything,just glad I have my health and an awesome wife of 41+ years. When ya get older I think its important to realize ya probably got a lot more time in back of you than ya do in front,live enjoy and think about the good times but its never to late to make new ones.

I remember in the mid '70s, I was young, five or six, my dad taking me to the American Legion hall for some activities. There were a smattering of Vietnam vets, but a crapload of World War II vets, and some World War I vets.

Of course I had no idea about the concept of time or the context of the company I was in, but look back at snippets of my young life like that and realize how fleeting and fast time is.

She was a hot little chipmonk. I loved her early music.

I was just thinking, why they can no longer make awesome music like they did in the 60s and 70s, has creactivity become extinct? Then i remembered that mom use to listen to 50s do wop pop and and figured she thought the same thing. I still think todays music sucks but i understand its not their creactivity that has dried up its that im getting older and my brain no longer recognizes the new sounds.
Getting older is a funny thing.
