Depresses the crap out of me

Let me start out by saying this doc was absolutely wonderful and time well spent.

I'm sorry for making a topic about myself, but I just wanted to share with anyone who's willing to listen that this saddens me beyond words because I have never been a part of ANYTHING, and having something like this as a kid -- not the fame, not the money, but a strong companionship I will always look back at with overwhelming nostalgia -- is something I will never be able to say I did. I sincerely wish I could reset my life; do it all over again with the knowledge that when I'm 21, I will have indescribable regret over all the things I didn't do. But it's not all bad. I can make sure I don't feel the same way about this era when I'm 40. So I guess it was a positive experience in the end; a wake-up call. Then again, I've already had many of them...

Oh well, I'm sure half the world feel the same way. Could always make sure your kids don't go down the same road, at the very least.

Sad story. You got a smoke?

I felt something very similar when I saw Bones Brigade. It was as great doc that made me look back with nostalgia to the best years of my life and made me remember so many things with a smile on my face (from the board designs, to the colors, the music, clothing, etc). But at the age of 35 I can't help thinking about all the things I missed, all the things I've never done and how the best years of my life are gone and never coming back. Life is never going to be that simple, that exciting or that pure ever again.

Feel the same way bro! Every time I pass some skaters on those long boards they use today, I immediately think of the old days, how simple life was. Those were some of the best years in the 80's early 90's. I wish I had a time machine but like you said, you wouldn't be able to replicate the excitement and purity of those times. Memories will have to suffice.
