1979. remember the video? i watched that when i was a kid, thinking, "man, they're having so much fun i want to be like that too." but earlier on in school, when i watched it for the the first time since i became a beastie boys fan, i thought i was no different from those stupid kids in the video. but i still think it's a nice video. if i was still that kid who wanted to be like them, i'd be ecstatic. not now though. it's tiring to act stupid all of the damn time. draining even. case in point: last night, the BGII wanted to pelt rotten tomatoes at the idol contestants. he thought it was the best favour we could do ourselves. what are you? 17? geezus. but i actually contemplated on bringing a pair of scissors and pliers [hoho yep, i've got issues with THAT one]. all of these fancies are part of that defence mechanism thing. we just refuse to move forward and shed our idiotic selves. some day... maybe.
