Definitely had a moment this morning. This video was posted on Twitter and man did it ever bring me back. I loved the Descendents, still do in fact. Many of their songs became the theme music to my childhood. When I think of TJ when we were younger, I think of the Descendents. We drove to North Carolina years ago before we were technically dating and i think we listend to every album we had at the time.

And to answer the question; “What will I be like when I get old?” Well, I’m pretty darn happy with the way I turned out. I’m betting TJ feels the same way about himself. Not many people feel that way about themselves. I’m very happy with the life I’ve chosen. No complaints here.

When I Get Old – The Descendents

What will it be like when i get old
Will I still hop on my bike
And ride around town
Will I still want to be someone
And not just sit around
I don’t want to be like the other adults
Cause they’ve already died
Cool and condescending, fossilized
Will I be rich will i be poor
Will i still sleep on the floor

What will it be like when I get
What will I be like when I get
What will it be like when I get old

Will I still kiss my girlfriend
And try to grab her ass
Will I still hate the cops and have no class
Will all my grown up friends say
They’ve seen is all before
They say “Hey act your age” and “I’m immature”
Will I do myself proud or only when it’s allowed

What will it be like when I get
What will I be like when I get
What will it be like when I get old

Will I sit around and talk about the old days
Sit around and watch T.V.
I never want to go that way
Never burn out not fade away
As I travel through my time
Will I like what I find

What will it be like when I get
What will I be like when I get
What will it be like when I get old

    I've been following your blog for a bit and have been to chicken to comment….but a Descendents video just put it over the top! One of my absolute favorite bands. I too am a homeschooling mommy and while we don't radically unschool (we're sort of a hodgepodge of things) it's awesome to see other parents enjoying their kids and not just living for them, but with them.
    Thanks!

    Yesterday I listened to the Everything Sucks cd all the way home from the beach. I was alone and it was seriously cool. I really needed it!

    Thanks for commenting, don't be afraid! I love feedback!!! I saw that you live in Washington… my brother lives in Seattle, I'd love to get there soon.
