Stumbling through life

So... I don't know... most of the things in my life I find by accident somehow well just stumbling around.  I think that's most of us right?  Like just kinda putting your hands out in the pitch black of the middle of the night and then feeling around and kinda going "Ah Ha!" when you find what you were looking for... like the light switch.

Oh... wait... that wasn't the light switch.

It's the switch to get slimed... and apparently get turned into Katy Perry? (in case the picture above is missing it's a picture of Katy Perry getting slimed... so the joke doesn't work if the picture above isn't there... then it's just like huh?)

Hmm... what kinda light switch is this!?!?!

Well, I don't have a picture of myself getting slimed.  Sooo I just used that.  If you don't know getting slimed it was a nickelodeon thing from back in the 90's.

Anywho actually speaking of Katy Perry music is what I was getting at... so today I was listening to Grooveshark at work...

And I stumbled upon this album accidentally:

 

 

This should link to it:

It's all the classic 90's hits songs that remind me of growing up as a younginer one... except that... they are punky... sorta.

It's actually good!  I don't know it's weird though because you expect these songs to sound the way they always have... but they don't.   They kinda sound the same... but at the same time... they are new and different.

It's weird.  But at the same time... I don't know, I kinda enjoy it.

I think maybe the reason why I've been thinking about it today is because that's sorta like where I feel like I'm at in life.  Does anyone else feel that way?  Like the past is still there... sorta... except there's new people playing the old music.  The friends and all the things that are happening in your life are kind of the same except different.  But the thing is it makes things very much so like I kinda don't know where it's going and so I feel like I'm stumbling my way through... So things are old, but new... but I'm stumbling my way through?  Like a room with the same furniture that's been re-arranged...

no, no... same arrangement... different furniture.  But I say embrace it...

I'm gonna go in that room and sit on that furniture and what the heck... I'll listen to the old 90's songs in their new form.  Maybe a party will break out and there will be dancing and drinks and chips and all kinds of party games like twister and phase 10 and who knows what else!

And then after the party is over you can re-arrange the furniture.  Just make sure you don't come home after dark and forget to turn a light on... I did that one time.  It ended in me doing the whole... "Hope you have a nice trip... see ya next fall" thing.  Or whatever that joke saying is.

Does any of this make sense to anyone or am I just rambling?  Well, I hope it kinda makes sense.  But the deal is just that it's fun and fresh and new... and I think maybe what i'm getting out of this is that yes life is sort of the old still there but it comes back in new forms... if it didn't then I guess life wouldn't be as interesting ya know?  And as well sometimes you just stumble onto cool new things when you least expect it.  Life is sorta all about new twists and turns and new and interesting things... but at the same time it's about still having that old stuff there as well.  New built on old.

Still making sense/or not making sense?  Probably because i'm rather sleepy.  Anyways, the album is good and it's worth checking out.  90's songs but in updated "punk" style... although honestly they don't sound TOO punk to me... so if you aren't into punk punk music you might still like the songs!

So... that's all I have to say tonight.  I'm actually pretty tired for it being only nearly 10pm... I think I might just go to sleep.  Cuz, why not?  A little extra sleep probably would do me good.  Soooooo I'm a gonna say goodnight yo.  especially the yo part... cuz that's what I say... yo.  I don't know where I got that... some time in the 90's I think people started saying it at school and so then it just stuck.  Who knows?  ok NOW I'm rambling.  Definitely time for some sleep!  night.
