Comparing now to way back when.

^remember when they came out with the "water-proof" yellow walk mans.....it blew my freaking mind..

so yeah i've always had at least four parents....sometimes more when they were legally separated and not yet divorced

as for toys it was all Star Wars for me....and a few transformers/go-bots.....but i was leaving toys by the time He-man got crazy popular

i also remember the play gyms at playgrounds....were made out of splitered wood and fucking steel....none of this recycled milk carton bullshit....so basically in the middle of summer you proved your worth by going down the slide and burning the hell out of yourself and when you fell it hurt bad and you bled....plus underneath was hard ground with coarse sand none of this rubber padding!

those were indeed the days

My parents are still together. Altough there have been some doubts lately. I believe that blew over, but it scared the **** out of me.

Amazingly he did it and managed to not get stung, but one bee got really pissed off, flew over to where I was standing and stung me right in the fucking earlobe.

I have been bitten by a bumble bee 3 times in my life, once when I was a toddler and just stood on it! I am terrified by them.

I've gotten bumble bees inside my shirt on two occasions

It ain't so bad.

Never wear orange reflective jackets, I had a bumble bee get inside mine and he bit off my shoulder!

I'm going old.

That's depressing.

I used to listen to the Donna Summer cassette. I would bring it with me to camp. My favourite song was "MacArthur Park."

back when mix tapes were literally mix tapes...I had loads of them especially from a friend of mines that made mixes and would sell them for 5 bucks a pop. He was on his grind all through high school with his mix tapes.
