It's like the game ain't the same.

raybearWhy is it dark already?? I'm still not dressed. I did wash dishes. I made a phone call. I've corresponded a couple times with a guy from a personal ad which has been fun. I got a couple kind offers to hangout, from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drinkasyoupour and vfc, but I just couldn't really bear to leave the house. It made me daydream briefly about my dream neighborhood/commune, and how everyone would live within three blocks of me. I even designed a whole LJ dream neighborhood. Hey, I was washing dishes, it helped pass the time.
The other day I was thinking that I haven't been listening to much hip hop lately, except for the pop-y dance stuff on the radio. I wanted to hear some grittier older stuff. No, not "old school", technically, but from that other golden age of hip-hop, the mid-90s. So I made a mix called "Happy New Year....1995" , in honor of the decade mark. It started off as sort of best-of 1995, but then I changed it to more best of 1994, as if it was New Year's Day 1995. Except, I cheated a little, and a couple songs ARE from 1995. And couple are from 1993. But anyway,
1. I Used To Love Her -- Common Sense
2. Temptations -- 2Pac
3. N.Y. State Of Mind -- Nas
4. Git Up, Git Out -- Outkast
5. Cream -- WuTang Clan
6. Shook Ones -- Mobb Deep
7. Rebirth of Slick -- Digable Planets
8. Stress -- Organized Konfusion
9. Runnin' -- Pharcyde
10. Shimmy Shimmy Ya -- Old Dirty Bastard
11. Who Am I (What's My Name)? -- Snoop Doggy Dogg
12. Regulate -- Warren G
13. Juicy -- Biggie
14. My Mind Spray -- Jeru The Damaja
15. Flava In Ya Ear (remix ft. The Notorious B.I.G., Rampage, LL Cool J & Busta Rhymes) -- Craig Mack
16. Thuggish Ruggish Bone -- Bones Thugs Harmony
17. Creep -- TLC
Listening to it me makes me very happy. If a little nostalgic. Not necessarily for 1995, but for five years ago, in my weird Evanston apartment, playing nonstop GoldenEye and HydroThunder and Virtua Fighter withthebrownhornet and listening to cassette tapes. Remember those?
I think my self five years ago would be pretty impressed with who I am today. That's a good New Year's thought.
