Hell that was the go to place in the 70’s too…

Thank God I’m not a kid now, There was a freedom Back in the seventies and eighties and to some extent the early 90’s…

No cellphones, Parents couldn’t track you they told you go outside and play and don’t come back until it’s dark…

we did not know we lacked anything, because we did not have anything to compare it to, and there is a freedom in that too…

I know all that mattered was your world and the people in it. Also all your friends had to agree where to meet well in advance so people where way way more dependable and social before cell phones and pagers. No question I’m glad I’m not a kid now as well. Man hanging out back then was great.

Rap can be good…I like old Black Eye Peas. Too bad that Cardi B caters to kids these days.

I know people have different taste in music, but why does the mass like Cardi B?
Quick entertaining shallow background music seem to get more popular in this day and age.

The one that gets me is when I run into one of my oldest daughter’s friends from eighth grade (after not seeing them for a long time) and she has a daughter who is in eighth grade.

The kid at work heard that I was a Seabee in the Navy. He asked me what a Seabee was. I told him John Wayne is rolling over in his grave. He said “Who is John Wayne?”

ehh… i’d say they don’t know what an 8-track is… or a cd-rom, for that matter. i mean, they’ll know what a dvd is for another couple generations, atleast… then it’ll be bluerays… man, does anyone else remember hdtv plug-ins? with the 6 plugs? or like, av plug-ins, with the 3? or those god-awful satellite/analog screw things, you screw into the back of the tv?

…okay, now i’m making myself feel old.
