nostalgic let downs.

[shittyhambrgers]

<p>growing up sucks... you realize how full of shit everyone and everything is.&nbsp; people and places have a certain magic to them when you're a kid, but when you revisit them as an adult, whatever you saw before is gone.&nbsp; <strong>who, what or where have you revisited as an adult, only to be disappointed?</strong></p><p>mine is shitty but i just thought of it, hence the topic... rock clubs and concert halls.&nbsp; i'm only 22, but when i was growing up, going to a concert was the best.&nbsp; hammerstein ballroom, irving plaza, roseland, the list goes on... all clubs in NYC.&nbsp; they used to seem so big.&nbsp; the nassau coliseum and MSG were huge!&nbsp; the last time i was at any of those places, i was let down big time. </p>

<p>Yeah, that was pretty shitty man.</p><p>Mine&nbsp;is sex with a hooker. You'd think that because it's their profession they'd actually be pretty good right?</p><p>Well all they want is their money, they won't kiss, won't look in your eyes and ask you to double up on the condoms!</p><p>If you want head and then sex you got to pay huge, if you want anal you might as well meet them at a car dealership beforehand.... Sadly enough, they won't even take a shot in the face or the real kicker; they won't pee on you.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think that's my biggest let-down</p>

When I was a kid, I loved Roger Moore Bond movies. But trying to watch the old ones today is just painful.

<p>Actually Chris, you bring up a good point.</p><p>Threes Company used to be so good but to look at it now the acting is horrible and it's lost some of it's appeal</p>

<p>Watching these shows now makes me feel like such an ass for my zeal as a child to need to see them:</p><p><img src="http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:TsQAUDFCTV0xiM:http://www.allthingsmike.com/CulturalBlender/robots/gigantor.jpg" border="0" width="114" height="105" /><br /><br /><img src="http://tvhipster.com/img/gilligan-500.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="329" /></p><p><img src="http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:fIh6NlH3F6JD6M:http://www.toontracker.com/courcat/courcat2.gif" border="0" width="115" height="69" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Several years ago my buddy and I were amazed to learn that Rick Danko from The Band was going to play a little shit hole bar in our area.&nbsp; It didn't seem possible.&nbsp; This was a guy we idolized as a musician and songwriter, and was part of an incredibly important and influential band.&nbsp; To us it was almost like The Stones were playing the corner pub.&nbsp; We got tickets and eagerly awaited the big night.&nbsp; </p><p>What we got was a strung out, bloated junkie who kept missing the strings on his guitar, forgetting lyrics, and laughing as he did so.&nbsp; At one point he fell off the stage. &nbsp; Seeing how far the mighty had fallen was a sobering experience, and it not only disappointed me but really drove home the fact that everyone is human, even talented and famous people.&nbsp; I think that's when I really lost my sense of awe for celebrities. </p>

When I watch a movie I liked back in the 80s, before I became intolerant of
predictable Hollywood crap, and finding it to be predictable Hollywood crap
or just plain BAD. Did I really think Star80 was genius when it came out?

I'm just topping this because I thought it was too good of a topic to be buried under such nonsense like &quot;I don't like (insert board name here).&quot;

<p>Playing old video games. Shallow, yeah, fuck you, but I loved my video games as a kid. They were what I looked forward to each day in school. '2:45? Yes! Now I can go play Chrono Trigger', etc. I was playing a few of these old games last year on an emulator, and I immediately felt shitty playing these old games. Graphics weren't good, controls sucked, and they were all too short. Worst of all, I felt like there was some scrolling marquee inside my head the whole time that said <font size="3">YOU'RE NOT TWELVE ANYMORE AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN STILL IN YOUR LATE TEENS THOSE TIMES ARE OVER FOREVER <font size="1">over and over. Then I missed my childhood, loathed my advancing age, and realized I can't play these games anymore without getting hit with nostalgic guilt on top of the games' shittiness in comparison to today's stuff.</font></font> </p><font size="3"><font size="1"></font></font>

I went to Disney when I was around&nbsp;seven in the late seventies. I remember being amazed by the mechanical birds inthe Tiki Room- it was cutting edge at the time- never seen anything like it. Went back in the late 90's (No homo- we were staying in the area- one of the chicks we were traveling with really wanted to go) -oof what a let down. My wife still brings it up.

<p>I just got back from Canada where I went for a snowboard trip at Whistler mountain that I've been planning for months.</p><p>I ruptured my achillies tendon on New Years dancing at a bar.</p><p>Didn't get to snowboard one day, had to come home early, waiting to see if I need surgery.</p><p>Please, put a bullet in me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>(EDIT: Maybe this isn't the right forum, but it's a pretty big let down)&nbsp;</p>

PHYSICAL CHALLENGE! i'm 22, not sure if you all even know wtf i'm talking about.</p><p>anyway, consider this topped.&nbsp; for now.&nbsp;</p>
