Found a Bunch of Riffs I Wrote 9 Years Ago

Haha, yeah....crazy.
A couple of weeks back, my girl was packing up for the move etc and came across one of my old Journals.
I was reading through it and skipped to the back to find a bunch (7 pages in total) of riffs and bare bones songs from around nine years ago when me and a friend borrowed a mates back up rig.
I have had the chance to run through it all and while it may ruin the story, can't say I have much use for it these days but in playing through it, I found that I was getting a feel for the mindset I was in at the time and totally had a flashback....man, those were cool times! Some of the stuff pointed out areas or avenues that I no longer take including lil tricks here and there and 85% was in dropped D
Also, the move unearthed another journal with noodling in the back but also... my guitar licks folder from 93/94! complete with Ibanez catalog pics stuck to it
Going through that was nuts. Had Nuno, Satch, Vai, (the usual suspects) Howe, Hendrix, Gary Hoey, Collins along with the TAB for Two Princes and *cough* the music to Cherry pie. While that was a blast and a lil treasure.. finding music I had written and was lost to me many years ago was great.
Anyone else here had the chance to run through some of your original works from close to a decade ago? interesting stuff... pity I wasn't a lyricist .. that would have been cool... I see many things in a different light compared to that time period.
