you knew you were a 90s kid if

[WalkinTarget]

The condensed 1980's version:

1) Stone washed jeans

2) Parachute pants with oodles of zippers

3) Culture Club/Hall and Oates/Duran Duran

4) Dukes of Hazzard and A-Team

5) BIG HAIR !!!!!!!


OMG, I'm getting flashbacks of those days, ... some were OK, some were horrid ... but rest assured they hopefully will not return. Geez, next you know they will make a Duke Boys movie and a Knight Rider TV series rehash !!

Legos are timeless. They are celebrating their 50th year this year in fact. The special set they have offered is AWESOME. I do want it, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet since it costs $150 or so.

Being born in 82 I wouldn't consider myself a 90's kid, unless teenage years are considered "kid"


But I remember a lot of that stuff. I cracked up on a lot thinking "yep that was me".


I remember getting my Super Nintendo and destroying floating boxes in star fox games. But I loved the Ninja Turtles, I remember wanting to fight all the time with a ninja bandana thingy.

I was hammered in the 90's.

In fact I spent the 90's face down somewhere- either in a gutter or in a place you need to use your imagination for.

What I remember of the 90's is an explosion of live band culture- Two dollar tuesday no covers, Metal Wed, Grunge Thur, and Friday Free For Alls at just about every chic bar in every major city I was in.

I am disconnected from the Television culture- in fact I cant name a single sitcom for the 90's outside of Seinfeld and Friends- and I can polygraph seeing less than 10 episodes of each, and I know nothing of the shows save for maybe main characters.

My deal was working my butt off so that I would have money to put in my gas tank to head out to the hunting grounds and take down some hot gazelles while groovin to my favorite live bands.

It was like Rock n Roll was alive again- and it was a modern version of late 1960s to mid 1970s- pre discoe when rock was rock and everything else was something you used against your friends and ex girlfriends....

The 1990's were good to me- not so good to many others.
It brought a new infusion of drug use, heroin addiction- which of course fueled interest in cheaper and alternative drugs- bringing meth to the forefront......

I was above all that- and a good microbrew and a handfull of a hot gal's tush was all I needed to be happy after 8 hours at the Communications Company I was working for.
