Something else stolen from MySpace... it's a trip down memory lane
all about the 90s...
Before the Internet & text messaging.
Before Sidekicks & iPods.
Before MIKE JONESSS
Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX.
Before the 5 hours of homework you put off every night.
WHEN LIGHT UP SNEAKERS WERE KOOL
When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.
When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.
When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie.
When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our walkmans.
When 2Pac and Biggie where alive.
When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever.
Way back.
Tag.
Get Over Here!!!! means something to you.
Hide-n-Go Seek at dusk.
Red Light, Green Light.
Heads Up 7 Up.
Playing Kickball & Dodgeball until your porch light came on.
Hopskotch.
Slip-n-Slides.
Tree Houses.
Hula Hoops.
Reading R.L. Stine's Goose Bumps.
The annoying Nano Pets & Furbies.
Running through the sprinklers.
Crying when Mufasa died in the Lion King.
Happy Meals where you chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car.
Getting the privelage to sit in the front seat of the car.
Drinking Sqeeze It "Squeeze The Fun Out Of It"
Wait.
Watching Saturday Morning Cartoons in your PJ's still wrapped up in your Garfield comforter.
Hey Arnold, Doug, Rugrats.
The original Power Rangers
Or what about:
The Secret Life of Alex Mac.
Ren & Stimpy.
Double Dare.
Rocko's Modern Life.
AAAHH!! REAL MONSTERS.
Wild & Crazy Kids.
Clarissa Explains it All.
salute your shorts(CAMP ANAWANA)
Are You Afraid of the Dark?
The original cast members of all that.
Kenan & Kel.
doug.
magic school bus.
flash forward.
pete and pete.
legends of the hidden temple.
hey dude.
dinosaurs.
pinky and the brain.
blossom.
hangin with mr.copper.
wishbone.
bill-nye the science guy.
kablamm.
Who could forget Snick? & Nick @ Nite with Bewitched, I Dream of Jenie, The Facts of Life & I Love Lucy.
Where everyone wanted to be in love after watching The Wonder Years.
or nick jr. with face
gulah gulah island
little bear
under the unbrella tree
the busy world of richard scary
the adventures of winnie the pooh
Kool-Aid was the drink of choice.
Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school.
Class field trips.
POGS
When Christmas was the most exciting time of year.
When $5 seemed like a million, & another dollar a miracle.
When you begged to go to McDonalds for dinner everyday.
When Toys R Us overuled the mall.
Go back to the time when
Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'.
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!'
'Race issue' ment arguing about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly'.
It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends.
Being old referred to anyone over 20.
A chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery.
Scrapes & bruises were kissed & made better.
It was a big deal to finally be tall enought to ride the 'big people' rides at the fair.
When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever.
When Ninja Turtles ruled the world.
When Lisa Frank was the raddest thing ever.
When a candy bar at the grocery store was the highlight of your day.
When coupons collected all year could get you a prize in your class auction.
When the only thing you cried over was your mom being late to pick you up.
When stress was addition and subtraction.
When friendships were as complicated as who's house to sleep over and who's to TP
When shaving cream was just meant for play.
When a first kiss only lead to cooties.
When valentines day meant cards for all.
When birthdays were a class event.
When a friend moving away was the saddest day of your life. (Yeah, that's still no good)

I Miss......a daydream by Laura M.
Tea parties with invisible tea,
Hoping to hear the Dickey Dee.
Spending hours on the swing set,
Playing with friends I’ll never forget.
Being tucked in by dear old Dad
Playing with Pogs, the latest fad.
Crayola crayons and finger-paints,
Attracting attention with every complaint.
Homemade play dough and blowing bubbles,
Having ice cream solve all my troubles.
Having picnics in my own front yard,
Making my parents homemade cards.
Believing in Santa and in the Tooth Fairy,
Watching reruns of Little House on the Prairie.
Looking in the mirror and not feeling fat,
Reading The Little Engine That Could and The Cat in the Hat.
Thinking a bazooka was a piece of gum,
And not knowing where babies come from.
Playing in the sprinkler on warm summer days
And not worrying about the UV rays.
Hopscotch, 4-square and hula hoops,
Watching Disney movies while eating Fruit Loops.
The Partridge Family, the Brady Bunch,
The Huxtables, the Tanners and Robert Munsch.
Baking cookies on rainy afternoons,
Watching Saturday morning cartoons.
Stuffed animals and lemonade stands,
Wearing Northern Getaway and other kid brands.
Birthday parties where people aren’t drunk,
Mr. Dress-Up and his tickle trunk.
Glow in the dark stickers and using Lite Bright,
Bedtime stories and my old night light.
Silly tongue twisters and good clean jokes,
Knowing my friends don’t do drugs or smoke.
Swimming in the backyard kiddie pool,
Field trips, and bake sales, and pizza days at school.
My tricycle, My Little Ponies, and my kazoo,
Reading and watching Winnie the Pooh.
Playing make believe and playing pretend,
Trips to the park, imaginary friends.
Easy bake ovens and many sleepovers,
Fisher Price toys and playing red rover.
Having my brother still live at home,
Not worrying about the future, when I’ll be on my own.
Highlights magazines and Cabbage Patch Kids,
Receiving allowance for chores that I did.
Magna-Doodles and double-dutch,
When everything didn’t cost so much.
Not having to wear eyeglasses,
Only 43 minute-long classes.
Baths and making soap sud beards,
Always having Mom there to dry my tears.
Having free time and being carefree,
Running through grass with shorts and bare feet.
“Happily ever after”s and Grimms’ fairytales,
Getting phone calls instead of emails.
View Masters, Treasure Trolls and the popular Etch A Sketch,
Spending time with my dad, just playing catch.
Singing along with Sharon, Lois and Braham,
Reading Dr. Suess’s Green Eggs and Ham.
Fruit Roll-Ups and monkey bars and fresh air during recess,
Less homework, less drama, and in general less stress.
Roller skating on the basement floor,
Way too many Barbies with accessories galore.
Playing hairdresser with my mother,
Spending time with my brother.
Blaming bad behavior on “it’s just a phase.”
Boy, do I miss those good old days.

cool though. I remember a lot of that stuff, but at least half of the list I posted I'm pretty clueless on... if it had the ThunderCats and He-Man and She-Ra I think it would've been way better =P
It's kinda funny... this makes some people feel so old.. then I go to community college with people who are like "man, I remember the 80s so well..." =P
