Nostalgitis

I'm feeling so nostalgic lately.

It's a strange, happy-yet-melancholy sort of feeling.

Not so much that I want to go back to being a teenager, but that I miss some of the simplicity, some of the possibilities, some of the things you just look forward to. I still have plenty of that now, but for some reason, I hear an eighties song and all of a sudden, I'm 16 again, ready to go to work at the bathing suit store in the mall.

I need to appreciate this mood for what it is, thank it, and move on. It's not good to linger.

Although I do miss those eighties songs.

Oh, no!!! Clouds!!!

So this has nothing to do with life as a DINK or otherwise, but it's one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. It was one of those things that made it's way around my office in a sort of Doppler effect, where one group of desks would start playing it, then you'd hear another one a few seconds later, and so on.

Seriously. This thing kills me. I'm still laughing after seeing it dozens of time.

This is really why the Internet was invented, wasn't it?
