Time...by Pink Floyd

Its really good how certain era defining songs in your life, after an interval of not listening to it for some time, sounds really good again when you do hear it again. Don't you think?

Roxette immediately comes to mind. So does Ace of Base. Sinead O Connor. Richard Marx. Flying Pickets. Fine
Young Cannibals. I remember when the whole "Megamix" series and "Now! Thats what I call music" 
series first came out...eons ago. Funny how upon reflection, you do realize your 
age, and the places you've been, things you've seen, songs you've heard, people you've met.

Its like...certain places when you first saw it, it was like this. Then, they probably demolished it, built something
over it, etc, and when you go back now, it looks totally different. And somebody who has never been there before
couldn't have guessed how it used to be, what it was like. But you know. And you still store the memories of that
old place in you.

Prime example, is skatepark in Melbourne. Used to be when the tram was approaching the skatepark, you'd be
bombarded by the sounds of kids skating and performing BMX stunts and rollerblading and watnot on the ramps in
the skatepark. But new arrivers to Melb city would never ever have been able to picture the skatepark, because
it is now a garguantine and sprawling combo of shopping complexes.

I get the same feeling when I drive back to my old neighbourhoods. Big drains last time, seem so tiny now. Drains I needed to hold someon'e hand or be lifted over when crossing, I can hop over on one foot. Giant trees seem not so
giant. That row of houses over there? They never existed. Right about where that middle house is, you see, that
1 with the orange gate..yeap...used to be a big tree where we'd use to climb n swing from. And behind that corner lot? Theres a small stream running through, that we used to go to relax, smoke our first cigarettes, drink beer,
search for shredded snake skin and hatched snake eggs, see wild turtles, iguanas...you'd never know now, would
u?

Everywhere we look, theres change. Everything is constantly evolving, changing, moving. So must we I guess.
We can't just sit around and remain stagnant. Think its time for a stock take, i.e., an assessment of where I am now compared against my resolutions at the beginning of the year. But or now, duty beckons. Work .. lies... ahead.

Wow, look, me being responsible! Change. There you go already.
