I Miss the 90s

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.

Highlights From the Past 48 Hours:
-I had a dream I hung out with LMFAO (I’m thinking I have an obsession)
-My roommate and I did laundry from 2-4 in the morning; Prime Time!
-I had strawberry popsicle #iMissSummer

  1. 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.
    When 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.
