Today is Earth Day.  To celebrate, I took one of my classes to Lion’s park to pick up garbage.  In the process, we found 9 alcohol containers.  We kept them and I will be taking them back for a refund.  $0.90

I like the song.  It’s on my Ipod and I listen to it once in a while.  I’ve liked it since it first came out but now it means something different to me.  When it first came out, I was 16 and of course thought “wow wouldn’t it be neat to live in an old apartment.”

Now, I’m 30, and I’ve lived in old buildings with friends and of course the video to me reminds me of times when life was simpler, along with the ominous echoing “I want them back” at the end.

Of course, Steven Page probably wants his old life back, before he got caught with cocaine in Albany with a girl he’d met on MySpace.  But of course we can’t turn back the clocks.  I’d have to hear Ed Robertson sing this song before I could really say if the BNL miss him.

Why are the official videos from this band not on Youtube?  Heres to trying to embed a “Dailymotion” video.

This is my first attempt at the “blog this” feature in flickr. I’m curious how it will turn out.
