Like a wave crashing into the shore

Was it like this for my parents? Is it still?

When I was growing up, primarily in the 80s, music from the 60s was oldies. So in 2008, music from the 80s should be oldies, right? I actually heard a teenager refer to 80s music as 'oldies'. They were passing by, so they didn't see my look of surprise.

I saw a car on the road a couple weeks back. I can't remember the make or model, but it was definitely from the 80s. It had an official 'historic vehicle' license plate.

I'm 28. I feel 19. Maybe younger. My friends are almost all married. Many have kids.

I have a job. A wife. A car. A mortgage. Responsibilities.

It's already too late for some things in life. Though, never too late for many other things.

I realise this sounds melancholy. But it's really not that way for me. I'm just feeling introspective. I'm so happy with life and wouldn't have it any other way.
