I'm probably not going to get through all of these, but finals are over now, so I may as well give it a shot...

Junior Senior - "Take My Time"

also Junior Senior - "Itch U Can't Skratch", which is I still love.

Sometimes when I try to envision myself making the slow, unpleasant crawl towards adulthood (adolescence doesn't end until you're 30 now didn't ya know) I get the sense that everything isn't quite adding up right. I'm a 26-year-old grown man - lord is it ever painful to write that - who's working toward a careerist type occupation, one that most see as running hand-in-hand with, I don't know, simply being a grown-up, yet here I am getting my kicks from songs that sound as if they were written for children. I mean, if I happened to see one of my old grey haired professors or some stereotypic businessman driving down the road blaring Junior Senior, it would certainly seem a bit out of place. I guess what I haven't quite worked out yet is whether the peculiarity of it all stems strictly from age, or if it's more the clash between unbridled joy/fun and the kind of professional stoicism that you normally expect (sometimes wrongly) out of people of that sort. Not that it's THAT big of a deal...I've made a whole life out of not giving a crap about stuff like this, but it certainly does make you wonder. Am I in the right place, like maturity wise? Do people who stop next to me at red lights think I'm an idiot when my windows are rolled down? And most importantly, am I going to have to listen to really boring music when I'm 50?
