Holy shit please don't bring up any of these. I remember skateboarding with a friend of mine back when we played THPS2, 3 and 4. Jesus christ those were the good times. Everything since then was a downward spiral in my life.

Same here, anon. It's like my life turned to shit when the GameCube era ended.
>>29969947
I'm with you man.
One time me and my friends convinced my mom to let us have a sleepover
Played James Bond Nightfire til three in the morning, eating totino's pizza rolls all the way, and then slept in a tent in my back yard.
My one fat friend snored. God life can be so good, I need to be more present.

I never had a gamecube. I was pretty poor and living in eastern europe. But the life back then had it's charm.

>I need to be more present
So much this. I want to appreciate the small things again. Remember how fucking great staying up all night wandering the neighborhood felt?

Ska punk like this taps straight into my pleasure center and makes me want to immediately drop into a half pipe even though I was always shit at skating.

I still like doing things like this, it's just that I don't do any of that anymore. I have a lot of things to do and I just worry I won't manage to do it all in time. When you're completely alone you have to worry about everything, from eating food, to getting things to eat, to work, to getting enough sleep and then there's the case of your own safety. You're on your fucking own out there.
>>29970087
Yeah. I used to get so much joy out of small things.
I could literally be sitting in a park under a shade tree, a flowery spring breeze cooling my brow while I drink a bottle of wine and sit on a comfy blanket on top of a cushion of grass, and still be racked with worry about the future. My jobs, my personal challenges, etc.
Such a waste of a human life. I will be better.

God I know. Summers seemed so long. Why is youth/life so fleeting bros? I just need more time.
