as a 90's child and millennial teen i like to think that my tv watching was...well, not particularly enriching but definitely entertaining lol.

"barney" was huge when i was little. and cartoons like "doug" and "rugrats." i watched a lot of "are you afraid of the dark?" "goosebumps" and "sabrina, the teenaged witch." show's like "all that!" and "sailor moon." "powderpuff girls" and untold amounts of "spongebob squarepants."


We must be from about the same age, since I remember those shows as well. Did you also watch "Totally Spies"? It was one of my favourite shows.


i remember it a little. early 2000's was it? cartoon network lol. shows came and went so fast on that channel. you start liking one and then it was gone. =/

our attention spans are not well trained in this generation rofl.


Yeah they did ^^

But atleast it was not our own fault

Seriously. I always thought of them as an inversion of Sha Na Na.

They actually had a sorta comeback this year. I wouldn't buy that for a dollar.

I suppose driving golf balls over the old tree in the back of the acreage with antique clubs might count. Jumping off cliffs and climbing up and around waterfalls and canyons, swimming in glacier fed streams and pools. Target shooting in sand and rock quarries, (the latter is not a great idea in my experience), driving up old mountain roads or riding them on a dirt bike..

Trampoline over at a friends place, climbing over burn piles wearing rubber boots, (also not a good idea in retrospect; fortunately the surface was cold enough to not be a problem), sneaking up on wild animals and sometimes having them trying to sneak up on you, or even stalk you for several miles, army games with neighbors and sometimes friends, ...

So many things; the list just goes on. I don't really do any of that anymore, but it does cross my mind now and then. If I happen to be somewhere wild though, have the opportunity and nothing better to do, I do often head off to see what I can find out there. Usually that involves being stocked by a bear or something, which is kind of cool.

..and you thought ganking was fun. Lol

You're lucky. My 30th is this October and it's really too hard to absorb that fact.

No worries man.... embrace it. I'm looking forward to this one. I'm going back a married man, a father to a beautiful baby girl, and in a career field I enjoy.

Oh, 40 isn't bad. I didn't really mind. The 30th for high school days though has more of a concrete reality to it for some reason.

One one side, the Dark Forces of Disco:
The Bee Gees
The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack
Donna Summer
A whole lot of one-hit wonders

And opposing them, the Heroes of Rock and Roll:
Led Zeppelin
Van Halen
Rush
Foghat
Pink Floyd
Queen
Aerosmith
Ted Nugent

And then Punk came along, with post-Punk, Gothic, znc New Wave right behind. The world would never be the same....

Oh c'mon. Nobody truly hates disco anymore. There was just so much bad that it was hard to figure out the great ones.

I realized a turning point had been achieved in the mid-90's when Alice Cooper said that secretly he and all the metal guys were jealous because there was no denying that with the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, the Bee Gees had obviously made the best album of the decade.

Personally I'm just as happy listening to that as I am Zeppelin, Rush, Blondie, Dead Kennedys (saw them in '84), and the Cure....and the Cocteau Twins and so many others. Like all artistic genres, only 5% is great, the other 95% is BS of a sort. The trick is learning how to sort through it all for the gems.

Yeah, I can appreciate that stuff too-- now. At the time though, it was kind of rough for some of us. Back then the only sources for music were AM and FM radio, the LPs you owned, and the cassettes you made off of friends' LPs. Having AM and FM dominated by disco was hard on us long-haired rock and roll types. Thus the "Disco Sucks" movement-- which was the direct predecessor of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Or maybe not. Smile

By the way, I have to add AC/DC to the list of disco destroyers.

I vaguely recall even Ethel Merman releasing a disco album. Shocked

God, it was almost everyone.
