The Blogtastic Blogfest That Is Getmeoutofthis.net!

So on the fabled 9/9 of 09, I was lucky enough to get to play through the entire story mode of Beatles: Rock Band with my friends, from start to finish. We strummed away on plastic guitars like nobody’s business. We sang and harmonized our hearts out. We made jokes during boring parts. We generally had a great time.

And it was in the middle of this great time, as I was laughing at Spaeth being utterly stupid and making satanic noises during the extremely repetitive ending to I Want You (She’s So Heavy), that I realized how precious this moment was, with all of my great friends in the room, having a good time.

I always hate when I get all depressed about this kind of thing, but dammit, these times can’t last forever. People are going to get jobs and move away. If I keep going the way I’m going, I’m going to have to move away to work on my Doctorate in 2 years. There is a strict time limit to being able to just jump in and have such fun with my friends.

I don’t know. I had that twinge of almost crying when I realized it would be times like this I would be thinking back on, and missing, in the future.
These are what my youth is, what good times I had during it, you know?

And then Spaeth and Essner started going back and forth on the mics, and I snapped out of it, and got back to fun. But I wanted to record it here.
At least a little.
