I was playing my original Xbox last night. My favorite console from my favorite console gen.
Just dicking around with a few favorites well after midnight. I had fired that bad boy up on my 32" Sony Trinitron CRT. Speakers full blast. Duke in hand. Really taking it all in, and escaping.
Made me feel like a kid again, straight up. It always does. I wasn't even eleven years old yet when this thing came out.
Then, at some point, I raised my hand to head and felt my bald head. I haven't shaved it recently out of apathy, so I really felt the horseshoe yknow. Then I rubbed my salt and pepper beard I've been growing out due to the cold weather this time of year.
It hit me. Here I was, nearly 31. Still delighted by this device underneath the radioactive glow of my CRT screen. From a different era entirely - was 2001 really so long ago? All the changes I've made in my life since. Yet some things remain the same.
I had the biggest smile on my face. It was almost poetic. Beautiful, really.
