    I remember:
    school busses without cameras
    a time before "play-dates"
    a time before ADD
    when the principal gave spankings
    single cassettes were $3.50
    cigarettes were less than $2
    when the news didn't disgust and anger me.

    I remember those slap bracelet things being banned from my elementary school, but I took one anyway.

    I remember when going skating on Friday night was vital to your social survival

    I remember having parties at school for just about everything, and there were always cupcakes.

    I remember when I thought I could live on the $180 a week I made at my after school job, and still have everything I wanted.

    I remember thinking the boy I was 'going out with' when I was 14 was gonna be who I married.

    Greatest. Visual. Ever.

    I remember Arnold Schwarzenegger as a killing machine from the future, not the governor of California.

    I remember saying that if gasoline got to "over 75 cents a litre, I'm not driving anymore".

    I remember Astro-Boy, GI Joe, the orignial Power Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (both the show and the movies), Transformers, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (I wanted to be He-man when I grew up).

    I remember watching WWF on TV with my parents and my brother...to the extent that I remember when the Undertaker debuted and I saw in shock that he beat Hulk Hogan.

    I remember making mix-tapes and listening to them in my walkman on road trips.

    I remember being a kid and not needing a helmet for everything.

    I remember being innocent, and naive, and not so damn bitter, jaded and cynical about the world and everyone in it.

    I remember 8-track tape players (ka-chunk! ka-chunk!).
    I remember "The Six Million Dollar Man".
    I remember live jellyfish in Santa Monica Bay.
    I remember when O.J. Simpson was "only" a famous football player.
    I remember wondering what I would be doing in 2000...

    I remember doing the math in school to figure out how old I would be in 2000 and couldn't believe how old I would be by then.


    I remember making popcorn on the stove top in a large pot with a little bit of oil on the bottom.

    I remember Two Guys, Kress, Altmans and Bambergers

    I remember waking up at midnight or so to the smell of my Dad cooking popcorn like that. No one ever made better popcorn. Ever. I remember when I thought my Dad was the smartest, coolest guy ever. Fug, I hate getting older.
