Advantages: the music, the people, the laughs

Disadvantages: Doing things i shouldn't have done

Being only 21, my clubbing days seem a distant memory, which yes does seem odd, but i gave it all up 2 years when i decided to opt for the quiet life, well not so quiet with two small children, but you catch my drift!.
When i was 16/17 i had a advantage as i looked older for my age and managed to get into clubs and bars without being asked for i.d.
M e and my friend sean used to always go out together as he also looked older for his age, it was always just the two of us because no one else our age could get it.
I grew up listening and admiring dance music, and thats all thanks to my dad and older sister, i used to love listening to radio one on a Saturday and Sunday night listening to dance anthems with Dave pierce.
I also used to love the thrill of getting all dolled up ready to go party, when i look back now some of the things i wore, i would dare wear in bed, never mind outside! mini-skirts, hot pants, halter-neck tops, dresses that left nothing to the imagination, but at the time it was fun and i loved it.
Getting so drunk that by 2am i was ready to go home, or slumped in the corner waiting for my friend to stop chatting up other men!
Clubbing how ever isn't as good as it used to be in more ways than one, take for instance the music, ten years ago we where dominated by a mass of brilliant artists, dj's, and great songs to go with them, the songs that made clubbing what it is, still live with us today but the generation of clubbers today for some reason don't honor these tunes like they should.
I went out recently with a friend and all night not once did i hear any of the classics like faithless,moby, Tiesto, Fergie, Fat boy slim. All the dj played was cheesy pop songs, i even went up and asked the dj whether he could play a Tiesto track and he gave me a look as to say i'd asked him to play a opera song, which needless to say i didn't stay out very long.

I like to think i quite knowledgeable in this history of dance music and clubbing, as for quite some years dance music became a passion, i even brought some decks and now have quite a large collection of records, which ok haven't seen daylight for a number of years, but i want to keep them as a memory.
I also used to love going to festivals such as creamfields, global gathering, etc. The atmosphere was amazing and i love every minute of it, thousands of dedicated Clubber's together, listening and sharing there passion for music was great.

Sadly when i became a mum 2 years ago, i gave up my clubbing shoes, but to be honest within the 3 years that i did go clubbing i think i had my fair share for life, going out Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, didn't do my health any good neither my bank balance.
I do have some great memories and i do have some bad,but i wouldn't change it for the world.
Looking back i wonder how on earth i manged to stay up all night when these days im lucky if i can make it to Ten o clock!

Summary: All good things come to end, to make way for better things
