Lately, seeing the kids dressed up on the Plaza in their fine formal clothes, impressing each other for their respective proms, has reminded me of my high-school and college years.
Staying out late, crashing my dad's car, getting away with things (and getting caught, oops), hangin' out with friends -- the future was too far away to worry about at the time.
Unfortunately, a lot of people (myself included) don't appreciate those times when they are happening. It takes 20 years, several jobs, the stress of a mortgage, family responsibility and a "spare tire" to show how good we had it back then.
That's how it is for a lot of people. But not for budding video editor Tom Keliinoi, whose YouTube submission shows that he and his friends are seizing the day.
The people in this video are complete strangers to me, yet I see myself and my friends 20 years ago in every face. Where has the time gone?
Nice job Tom.

I concur, Emaw. I mentioned this video several months ago here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting that link HIB.
ReplyDeleteTo prove how "out of it" I am with pop music, I didn't even know that was a Cold Play song. In fact, I probably couldn't name a Cold Play song without using Google.
More evidence to the orginal point of the post, I guess.
