I found a bunch of my old stuff from high school and college.
The moment brought to the fore an opportunity to reflect upon the past. I did some some serious thinking about the great existential questions of life. For instance, I wonder if posters are "cool" anymore. I suppose teens put posters up on their stupid, fake Facebook "walls" now.
At any rate, the posters are amusing and are a reach back into the past when I had some different (and possibly cooler) priorities: metal, movies, soccer, alcoholic beverages, etc.

the Led Zeppelin angel-looking-guy
Jimi Hendrix
Diego Maradona, Argentinian soccer star and cocaine addict
Jim Morrison of the Doors

The Super Fans

Tony Meola, goalkeeper for '94 U.S. World Cup team

Kiss (just pause on this for a moment... chest hair and full make-up: Zen)

And most importantly:
The great Ringo Starr

Back to deeper thoughts...
My priorities are different now and I ponder if maybe I can have a little of both worlds. For instance, could my Honda Odyssey minivan allow me to channel some of "the good ol' days"?????? Odyssey offers practical features, safety for the kids, and...
