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.
