I Remember When ‘Now! 1’ Came Out. You Know, In 1998.

90s5

I’m a child of the 90’s.

More than that, I was practically a 90’s poster child.

I wore the neon-colored wind suits:

 90s2 

…and the jelly sandals and Keds:

I listened to all of the cool music:

90s790s6 90s1290s11 90s1090s990s890s1390s2390s24

I watched the best television shows. They don’t make TV shows like they did in the 90’s!

The 90’s were also responsible for some pretty good movies, all of which I loved:

…and so much more!

When we were younger:

Before the MySpace/Facebook frenzy...
Before the Internet & text messaging...
Before Sidekicks & iPods...
Before Mike Jones...
Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX...
Before Sponge Bob

...Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.
When light up sneakers were cool.
When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.
When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.
When we recorded stuff on VCRs.
When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our walkmans.
When 2Pac and Biggie were alive.
When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever.
When neon green and purple were the best color combination for an outfit.
Way back when it was all about N64,
Before we realized all this would eventually disappear
Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!

 

 

 

I am Al and I’m going to bring back the phrases “talk to the hand” and “as if!”
You with me?
