Nostalgia for the “old Internet”

[Spartan (Roll Tide!)]

It's the time Netscape meant web browser.
It's the time no one used IE because it sucked big time
It's the time Ptt didn't exist.
But it's the time internet was more fun to me

There were no blogs and no MSN,
Only college students (and above) knew the existence of Internet
And there were no online games then.
But simple was beautiful.

When I was bored, I would use Unix's“talk”
(via my school account) to chat with people.
For quite a while it was the way I communicated with my ex
(we were about 1000 miles+ away from each other)
No web camera, no net meeting,
All I depended was my fingers to type
But it already made me fall in love with the Internet.

I met my ex on the net.
I feel blessed that I got chance to know her
It's the craziest time of my life
Drove 1000 miles+ in a day only to see her,
Twice I did that
One from north and one from south.
Very painful, especially from the south
But it's worth doing so
I guess it's because when you were young,
you would do some crazy thing for love.

As time went by,
Internet has become so popular
Even gangsters recruit their members online now.
And probably dogs know how to get online,too.
But as fancy as it gets
Internet doesn't attract me like before
Maybe it's because I am not naive anymore
Or maybe it's because all things are different now


"Life is like a bitch, that's why it's worth living.”

That's a sentence a nice American guy gave me before.
I don't know, maybe he was right.
And I am experiencing it now.
