today i passed by a cd store and i remember all the times going into tower records used to be the best part of my day, well, not really, i mean how often did i even really go into tower records anyways it was to buy jagged little pill and fush yu mang (i could have left out the fact that i also bought backstreet boys but i won't) but seeing that cd store didn't make me feel nostalgic, it just made me feel like time had passed the place over and no one bothered to tell him, this isn't really connected to pool kids other than the fact that it's a completely appropriate band name for the amount of nostalgia this album brings, i remember the days sitting by the pool in the inverness complex with my friends jumping off the diving board, i was never really a pool kid, never belonged to a pool except for the one at the local jcc and that's not really a pool kid's pool anyways, and so i got my little taste at inverness, something about the voices and the guitar riffs here (especially the one in "perfect view") make me miss those times so much, so so so much, i wonder sometimes if this whole journey is opening up more and more doors and giving me the chance to continue to feel like those old parts of myself are still alive, but when i make that fateful decision in the end i will be killing off a part of myself, i will be slamming doors and there's no way around that, don't get me wrong, i want to make that decision, but still, and what will it mean for the fact that i think about those fleeting moments when i was a pool kid, will they still be around, or will i have to murder them, over and over again, and be okay with it?
