Nostalgia for the Nineties
So I had a 90's flashback a couple weeks ago. I went to the mall. I had a Mrs. Fields cookie. And I walked out with a Green Day CD and a Mortal Kombat video game. I'm pretty sure I had an experience just like that when I was in 8th grade... back in 1995. The only real difference in the whole experience is that I'm 15+ years older and I bought the CD at Borders instead of a Wherehouse, because Wherehouses have long gone the way of the DoDo. But it got me thinking about the Nineties. That period in my life that I loved oh so much. I'll always consider myself a 90's kid. Sure, I was born in 1980 and experienced that rad decade, but my high school and teen years were in the 90's and that's the decade that defines me. Besides, I didn't really take anything away from the 80's. Maybe Michael Jackson. And sort of Metallica, though I didn't really get into them until the 90's. But not much else that's still relevant ...
