When I was young, I’m not a kid anymore. But some days, I sit and wish I was a kid again.
I did my homework in Trapper Keepers and hid my grades in Pee Chee folders.
My school banned Pogs as gambling.
Only one kid was ever lucky enough to own Crossfire.
We were accused of being drug dealers for having pagers. 823-143-80085
Fads were annoying enough to be officially outlawed.
Fashion kept changing quickly, but it was usually over-sized and obnoxiously colorful.
Teachers made us read our text messages in front of the entire class.
Girls never jocked, flirted, macked, or liked me. Little has changed.
We hid earbuds in our sleeves in order to listen to music in class.
There was no auto-tune. Beautiful people lip-synced over a lesser attractive person’s singing.

Koreans rocked the roots of reggae.
Hip-hop was on welfare.

We learned family values from an obstetrician in whacky sweaters.
And these guys were Gangnam Style.
ah, the memories…this post took me back to the days of hanging out at the mall for 10 hours on a saturday, playing street fighter, mortal kombat and daytona at space station and looking for girls to swap pager numbers with. if a genie granted me three wishes, i would use one up to relive these moments for a week.

Raise your hand if Charles Shin ever put you in a headlock and skipped down C Building. I’m just saying.
i remember that -_-‘
Awesome posts, they take me back instantly. Man I wanted that crossfire game so badly I was so jealous of the kids that did have it. Funny, as a kid all you want is what’s hot or whats popular. Then you grow a little older and realize there all phases of your life. Missed being a kid.
