You know the weird moment when you have to think about what year it is? That happened the other day. After remembering it was 2011 and not 2010 I laughed at myself. It’s November and I had to think about the year! It’s only been 2011 for over ten months now; you’d think I would not have to think about it. After, I realized that a decade ago, wasn’t the 90s! This realization brought made me feel old… My last year of being a teenager is about to be half way done! My youngest brother can soon say he has a sister who’s 20 years old. Back in the day, anyone with a sibling who was over 15 years old was looked at in awe. Mindboggling.
I then started thinking about the 90s and early 2000s; especially the TV shows and music. My younger cousins have never heard of Doug Funny or Helga’s love for Arnold or how Lizzie McGuire has a cartoon conscious. The 90s was a great time to be a kid. Saturday morning cartoons were still awesome; roller blading was the “thing” to do; and the Backstreet Boys, N’SYNC, Smash Mouth and other boy bands were on top of their game.
Also, was the food a little bit stranger back in the day? Remember colored ketchups? I think Heinz came up with the idea to make purple and green ketchup. I never gave these ketchups a chance; the idea of eating green goo just didn’t attract me. Or when Skippy Peanut Butter made peanut butter in go-gurt form…too much peanut butter.

One thing that was the best about the 90s? Cartoon Network. Ed, Edd, and Eddy, Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, were all amazing shows. I remember watching them every day before school. I couldn't get enough of those shows. And Scooby Doo.... That show was awesome as well.
ReplyDeleteWhen I try to listen to the music from the 90s, I have no idea why I liked it. I'm pretty sure that's literally what I ask when I hear it. But when I watch the cartoon shows, I still get caught watching an entire episode or a couple. Ed, Edd, and Eddy never gets old, and same with old reruns of Samurai Jack. Those shows are the best.
