Still Frames In My Mind

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana

Spring 2008 was all about Nirvana for me and Tyler happily indulged me as at the time they were one of his favorite bands as well. Everywhere we went I insisted we listen to one of their albums -- this is probably what caused him to tick Nirvana off of the favorites list.

Once he came by to pick me up because he and his mom had gotten into a big fight or something and we blasted “Smells Like Teen Spirit” as loud it would go and screamed it as we drove around. At one point I did a little kick dance move which resulted in my breaking my cousin’s band’s CD that he just given me to show a DJ I know right in half.

We’d also play Nevermind during our deep conversations. We’d have those every once in a while and they usually lasted literally all night. Topics would include everything from latest sexual escapades to the meaning of life. I always went to bed after those conversations feeling as if something profound had been discovered.
