Where were you in 1995, where are you today, and where will you be in 2015?

[NAD]

1995:
2nd year of high school, didn't have a job yet, but was discovering music like it was going out of style (not sure how I afforded any CDs, but I bought a lot). I was in some shitty punk band, but we didn't realize we were punk at the time. Lived with my parents, one of which I hated and the other I liked every other day. Discovered booze, weed, and smokes. I had long hair, wore my Uber Alles Slayer hat every day, and my biggest accomplishment in life was I had successfully touched a bare boob. Two even.

2005:
Typical office job, play in an experimental metal/blues/jam/whatever band with the same guitarist from shitty punk band in 1995. Live alone, love my parents and spend a lot of time with them. Have the same circle of friends from 1995, except the ones lost to booze, weed, and smokes of course. Actually had sex a few times, including 1 blowjob. Biggest accomplishment in life was graduating college with a BA, unless you count the blowjob thing.

2015:
Probably still drink too much when my ulcers aren't acting up. Probably married, would be nice to have a kid by then at least. Odds are Tool are still my favorite band, and I'll be in one of two locations: exactly where I am right now at the same job, or flying around the world as a writer for Rolling Stone Part Two: We're a Good Magazine This Time, Promise.

1995:
Just finished backpacking around Australia after graduating uni, came back to a cool job in the city of London (junior consultant), bought a house, got a VW Polo. Fantastic social life. Single, my own pad, money, London. Booyaka sha, bo!

2005:
Married, 2 kids, second house in NY, got a Lexus SUV. Still got the house in London, still got the same job (now a manager). Social life is near dead (by comparison), and will be for the next few years until babies start going to school.

2015:
I'll be 44. Perhaps not retired yet, but definitely paid of the mortgages. That frees me up from high-exec 9-5 employment, so we'll consider moving somewhere warm. Haddsie wants to run her own bistro / exclusive guest house. I'd probably open up a small cult music/video/distro/label outlet. Probably living somewhere hot, sunny, and surrounded by palm trees. Not Florida.

 

[Captain Beard]

1995: I wasn't doing very much.

2005: Working to become a Retard Rehabilitator for decent pay, about to buy a new car.

2015: Might be married, might not even have a girlfriend, I'm not really the type that will strike up a conversation with someone I don't match personalities with. Probably have my own place, have left California. Hell, maybe I'll even would be living on the outskirts of Vancouver.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

1995:
19 years old. Just started studying to become a teacher, plays guitar in a cover-band and even plays at a few minor events, single, but not for long.

2005:
29 years old. Worked as a teacher for six years, but have started contemplating a change of career. Engaged. No car, or even driver's license. No band, but have played guitar for fifteen years now, which only makes it more embarrassing that I'm still no good.

2015:
39 years old. Hopefully, no mortages, happily married, and a new job. Maybe I can finally play the guitar like something else than a retard. People worship me.

 

[Will Bozarth]

1995:

[spaffe]

1995
Eleven years old, dunno what I did really, probably just buggerd around in general.
Oh, one thing comes to mind thuogh, I was at a christian summer camp where I was proselytized by the nice Pentecostals who arranged it Snapped out of it a few years later though

2005
Doing my second semester of history and have realized that a future within that field at a university is not as good an idea as I first thought. Lives in a dormatory in a small room/apartment in Umeå but will be moving south soon to continue my studies elsewhere. Spending my days reading mostly, which I enjoy; no girlfriend, no IRL friends or social life

2015
Uhm, hopefully working as an archeologist or teaching at a university. Children? Nah. House? Nah. Car? Nah. In short, I have no idea whatsoever

1995: hmm, If I'm 19 now, that would make me... 9 years old. holy crap. I think I was in 4th or 5th grade and being persecuted by the other kids. I read sci-fi novels and played video games. In short, I sucked.
