Listening to such angst filled Rage Against the Machine tunes such as Killing in the Name of, Bombtrack, Know Your Enemy, How I Could Just Kill A Man, and Renegades of Funk, I find myself looking back at my younger years when it was appropriate for me to be full of angst and literally want to "rage against the machine."
I'm almost 19 and I really like reminiscing about those feelings when I could really feel angry listening to those songs. Haha, these days, I'm so in love and happy, I can hardly "Know my enemy" or want to "Kill a man." But it's fun to remember that I was once a young punk who could really feel Rage and Blink-182 lyrics.
Not that I'd ever trade what I have now for any of that....rebellion? teenage-hood? But it feels good to think back about that time and listening to the tunes and still sort of feel that sense of rebellion in a time long past.
Just my own little way of keeping my youth alive, before I settle down and work for the man. A dream which I absolutely treasure more than anything these days, by the way. Quite different from the ideas of "getting the fuck out of hagerstown and meet the real world." Pffff.....save that shit, Old Self, I say. I'm ready to marry Kelly Weld and start our family.
Word....fuck you I won't do what you tell me!!!!!
Ha. =)
