The general not-so-nice time at work now; the constant struggle with software for geeks only, random paper deadlines, boring videoconferences which everyone else seems to enjoy, and just general stress, makes me long to those old days of secondary school. As the week progresses I start feeling more nostalgic than ever, thinking of the times when we only used to complain about homework. Working people seemed to have it so easy back then, never to make any homework, just coming home, eating dinner and watching telly. How different is reality….
However, nostalgia mostly also brings back some nice memories. Coming home, needing a desperate burst of energy, I browsed through my cds and found one of SetaSurf; a band of some friends of mine which was quite popular in our school days. We almost never missed a gig and just plainly enjoyed every note. Playing their cd right now brings back so many memories; listening to their lyrics and their surf-punky music even more. I know for sure I’ll bring some of their music with me on my next work-related trip, this weekend, that will bring me to Ancona, Italy. Damn it would be nice to see these guys united, even if it was only once, to play some decent music in the “Nieuwe Nor”. I think lots of people agree with me and would come to their gig, reliving old times and enjoying new ones. Ah well, I know I start sounding like an old hippy…
