Now, I love the things we have today: the vast amounts of information and entertainment, the technology, but I also miss when things were simple, and I hope that one day we can balance the material things with the simple things. This post made me think. I feel like I reflect on the past more than most, but this really was one thing after another, every one making me smile wider. My friend posted this on her Facebook and this is what happened when I first started it: “You’re a 90s kid if you got to “In west Philadelphia born and raised” and I finished rapping the song rather than finishing the post.” But I had to go back to it and finish it. It was just that good. I wish I wrote it.
Enjoy….

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.
When everything was settled by:

-bubble gum bubble gum in a dish
When kickball was something you did everyday!! and you played on the monkey bars and knew at least one kid who broke their arm falling off of it…
You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time on a tape.
You remember when Super Nintendo became popular.
You always wanted to send in a tape to Americas Funniest Home Videos . . . but never taped anything funny.

-Ghost Busters
-X-Men
You remember Ring Pops!!!

All your school supplies were Lisa Frank or Five Star brand
If you collected:

Everyone watched the WB
If you even know what an original Walkman is..
You know the Macarena by heart
“Talk to the hand”. . .enough said.
You went to McDonald’s to play in the play place
Before the MySpace/Facebook/Twitter frenzy…
Before the Internet & text messaging…
Before Sidekicks & iPods …
Before PlayStation3 or X-BOX 360…
Before Spongebob…
When light up sneakers were cool and you had spiral spring shoelaces
When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs
When gas was $1.
When we recorded stuff on VCR
You had slap bracelets!
You actually played outside until it was dark!
Way back-before we realized all this would eventually disappear…
ONLY REPOST IF YOU SMILED AT AT LEAST HALF OF THESE THINGS BECAUSE THEY BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES”
