ever feel like you're just way too far behind? i do. right now. that's what i feel like. i remember when i was a kid, and by kid i mean teenager, and i would get so excited whenever i'd see stuff with the number '311' in it. like getting that number for my to-go food order, or having a total come up to $3.11, or anything like that. i would get so excited, because 311 was my favorite band at the time. i don't think i'd classify them as my favorite anymore, but the band will always hold a special place in my heart because of the time i spent as a huge fan of the band.
it's not even the music so much anymore, though i could still recite nearly all of their songs, but it's the nostalgia associated with them at this point. i saw the number show up today at taco bell, when i was picking up my order, and i thought about it. the thing i thought about was how, regardless of the fact that it no longer gives me that feeling of awesomeness every time i read it, it still affects me. the way that it affects me is strange and empty, because what i'm feeling is the reminder that this experience isn't part of my life anymore. things change. people change, people grow up. people move on, people start again.
