The Realization of Oldness

So, I just realized that I'm getting old. I dunno when or how it happened, but I now find myself creeping towards my 30's. Just typing the 3 in front of the 0 makes me itchy. Where did the time go? I swear not too long ago, I was jamming to Brandy, watching New York Undercover and memorizing and practicing (this involved sweating) every single blink that Aaliyah made in the "Are U That Somebody" video. I swear to God, it is still committed to memory. That and stealing my big sisters Nike Air Terra Humara's that were two sizes two small, but were the exact same shoe Aaliyah had on in the video.

*Sniff*

As I sit here, with a plastic cap on my head, under the dryer (don't laugh) and think fondly of my swoop "Aaliyah bang" that I still haven't let go of a decade later, I feel old. I have begun to talk about "those kids" when referring to kids who are in high school now. *Cringe* BET has begun to disgust and I actually pay attention to my fiber intake. Lawd, what's next? Prunes?!

So, in honor of the "Aaliyah bang" that will never die and will always be fly to me.......
