fade to black

i remember alot of things when i hear metallica's fade to black....

...not eating and saving school money to buy metallica albums
...kids getting wild over heavy metal
...rockstar dreams
...playing in front of a crowd and seeing people enjoying
...how my mom used to reprimand me to stop listening ti devil music
...wearing black almost everyday
...headbanging (damn i miss my hair)
...the first taste of smoke (dragon!)
...the mosh pit and how you can get hurt but at the end still throw up a peace sign
...the exuberant yet belligerent youth
...midnights on earphones
...how i try to wake very early to watch headbanger's ball in UHF
...trying to be cool by acting weird
...going to robinson's galleria every saturday to watch junior jam
...high school and thursday's at the guitar club
...cliff burton (rest in peace)
...how i used to hate dave mustaine (but eventually got fond of him and megadeth)
...lazy afternoons in UPLB (easy listening hehe)
...just having fun

one of these days i'm going to make my life's mix tape.
