I used to call this album 'genius'.

I was cleaning out some old boxes yesterday & I came across a CD collection that used to belong to my teenage self. Stuff like One King Down, Korn's first album, NIN, etc. Man, I used to be such a little anger child. How embarassing.

If I cringe thinking about my teenage self, would my teenage self cringe to see me now? Probably.

Me@16: How did you get so uncool? You don't smoke anymore, you don't go clubbing anymore, you're all settled down...You represent everything I fear about getting older.

Me@26: Why are you so angry? Life isn't as bad as you think it is.

Me@16: I can't believe you're married and have a house. Sell out. You're totally turning into mom. I should probably kill myself now to prevent this from happening.

Me@26: I can't believe you're so fat and you think that Korn is "genius". And you think your wild hair colors define you as a person. I know you think you're really deep, but you're just silly. Listen, things do get better, so just hang in there.

Me@16: Well, at least you work in radio and have a hot husband. And two cute dogs. And you still have your tounge peirced. And you have tattoos. That's cool.

Me@26: Yeah, well, some things never change.

If you and your teenage self could meet, what do you think you would you say to each other? Would your adult self be a disapointment?

me@24: just don't mention that you met on the internet and your dad won't kill him.

me@15: holy shit, why aren't you going to concerts all the time anymore?
me@24: how the fuck do you have money to go to concerts all of the time?
