Keep on truckin
I’ve been drifting lately. Mentally. Today, an image of my old bedroom when I was a teenager came into my head and I was trying to remember the posters I had on the wall. A black light poster, a couple of concert posters, and maybe some random stuff. I don’t know. I didn’t keep up the same stuff for very long. I went online to see if I could find any vintage posters that might strike a memory chord. I did find a few things I remember from the past. I usually don’t take trips down memory lane. Probably for the same reason I don’t watch reruns. Once I’ve seen it, I’m done. Time to move on. So this curious thing about trying to find old posters amused me for a bit. I did read some articles about R. Crumb’s artwork which was sort of interesting. From one rabbit hole to another. I don’t have any photographs of my old bedroom which is too bad. I didn’t become interested in taking photos until I was about 19, and I had moved out of the family home when I turned 18. There aren’t a lot of photos of me while I was a teenager. My mom remarried when I was 14. And the interest in me was transferred to her new husband. But I managed to keep myself amused during my high school life.
After reading this entry, I tried to picture the walls of my bedroom but came up empty. I was thinking that maybe I had a Jimi Hendrix poster on the wall, but I can’t even picture that. I don’t have pictures of me as a teenager. I’m wondering if any of my brothers and sisters do. Funny though, I could care less if I came across pictures of me when I was a teenager. I will have to look up vintage posters online to see if that triggers any memories.
