"Hey, did you know that I'm/Always going back in time..." I was humming on Monday and maybe a few of you were too as a result. And it's true, the evidence is in and I've come to the realization that I'm hyper-nostalgic. Why, this week alone here at TVD was spent quite like so many days as a kid--listening to tunes, scouring LP lyric sheets, and staring blank faced at LP covers. (Normal fare for TVD perhaps, but man, good times indeed.)
And it's even worse than I make it out to be...why, I'm nostalgic for 5 minutes ago. (Truly, that was one schweet pot of coffee I just brewed.) I'm even nostalgic for times that were tough. Take that one Fall where my grandfather died for instance. I recall driving to his funeral with my mom and dad, while I in the backseat was held in rapt attention by the latest issue of the Aquarian, New Jersey's then alt-weekly, and every so often gazed out at the lovely trees a-turnin' all shades of orange and red and feeling quite oddly alive and vital - perhaps all of 18 at the time. Maybe I can simply force-fire those endorphins to flood at will simply by looking. Back.
I'm nostalgic for this very second, even. Another crisp Fall morning'll do that. I'm nostalgic for yesterday, last summer, last year--underscored with what are now actual ARCHIVES here at TVD where I can go back and reread what I wrote over a year ago and think, "Sheez, I'm even nostalgic for that bullshit I posted last October. Go figure."

But enough about me...this weekend it's all about 'You.'
