First day on my FG

I've been riding my single speed conversion for a bit now and decided that as a gift to myself for getting my MA degree I would build a fixed gear.To try it out first, I installed a fixed cog on my flip-flop hub. I heard all these great things about riding fixed, being one with the bike, etc. so I was getting kind of excited to try it out. But today, on my first day riding fixed, I feel a bit let down since I really didn't have any new experiences over riding single speed. It did feel (and sound) nice not to use my brakes. Perhaps I was too ambitious and worried about crashing (which I didn't) and I'm sure it will feel different over the next few days. Anyways, has anyone else has a similar experience switching over?
