I don’t claim to be an interesting blogger, neither do I think I have anything interesting to talk about. What I love about blogging has nothing to do with what I can say, but what I can read others saying on my blog. So in the interest of psychology’s “rosy retrospection” concept, I introduce the “I want it back” conversation.
The idea is that you say what you want to bring back. Hairstyles, music, movies, phrases, whatever.
I’ll start by saying three.
Tatu- The word “neato”
- Parachute Pants
What do you want to bring back?
1. i want them to bring back Randy Macho Man Savage as the slim jim dude..
2. peanut brittle…what the hell happened to peanut brittle?!
3. I want my virginity back…becuase the first time is always the best
4. Mr. Miagi (i don’t care if i misspelled that)
I would like back:
1. Smurf Berry Crunch
2. Free Love
3. My father
4. Stompers
5. My innocence
6. My unvanquished immagination
7. My foreskin, not that I can remember ever having it, but it wasn’t a choice I got to make.
8. Days that seemed to last forever
9. Muppet Show
10. Sunday morning Kung Fu Theater
11. First kiss
12. Young Ones
13. Supermodels known by one name
14. All the money I’ve ever made
15. 1994-1997
16. Lack of any bitterness towards society.
17. Skinny black ties
18. Christmas, when it was a true 10 day holiday, instead of the commercialized day and a half it has become.
19. Feathered mullet’s and muscle cars
20. MTV, when it played music
21. being in shape
22. Madonna before her music wasn’t gay (you know who you are LOL!)
23. The phrase Jive Monkey
24. Rollerskating
25. 25 cent stamps,10 cent phone calls and the only telemarketers were they local High School club selling something to raise money.
That’s all I can think of right now.
I’ll try to hop in from time to time to comment on what I feel about these “bring it back” comments.
fooch, heck yeah on Mr. Miagi and peanut brittle is still around…ya fruitcake.
zman, you still have a great imagination. Why was it vanquished? Who vanquished it? Christmas is over-commercialized. Its like america takes any pure and good thing and wants to make a million on it…like forced tithes…not that it happens at my church. MTV sucks now. VH1 is much better. Madonna is at her peak! Being in shape was nice ;)
Peace out Jive Turkeys.
As you grow older, you ability for imagination is sort of squashed by the public school system. It is all black and white, right or wrong. They don’t really offer the kids a way to express their imagination. Society puts pressure on Math and Science, but cuts funding in the arts. As a society, we don’t excell in the math or science realm on the world market, but now we can’t even compete in an artistic sense as we try to stop any creativity at an early age. I blame the man, Damn the Man Warren!
Screw the public school system! Down with public school! Up with homeschool!
punky bruster!

May this make you smile also
Holy I feel much better now, batman. That video rocks my world little country girl. The indian, excuse me “native american” women in the little jobbies are hott! And the guy is straight up pimpin.
Makes the song a little less gay (not that there is anything wrong with being gay) is what you are saying logie?
No, what I’m saying is that the song is awesome, gay or not. Speaking of awesome songs, I really love the beastie boys. I need you to make me a mix cd, cuz they rock the house.
LOL! I tease because I like to laugh at you, no really it is because I love ya brohan! I will definitely have to spin ya up a good Beastie CD, but where is the techo cd you were gonna make me?
I’m on it like a fat kid on a cupcake. Speaking of, do you want a techno cd or a random genre mix cd? Let me know brother man from the motherland.
#1 I am not a big fan of cupcakes, or even cake for that matter! ;-)
#2 I am big boned! LOL!
#3 I love cd’s, that when I am driving, it makes me wanna dance. Heaven knows I am a sucker for a phat beat and great loop with a catchy hook.

My Legos
Classic Sierra games such as the Kings Quest, Space Quest, Quest for Glory, and Gabriel Knight series.
remember when children were seen and not heard?
Holy crap, I agree with Jamie. This makes me think of another thing:
Myst, the game
I wish adults were seen and not heard. Maybe I can give a “You can only be seen and not heard” card for an evening Cory.
Dat cool wit me homes! Mine relates to a screaming kid that I had to listen to for over an hour here at work. Kinda distracting, like a person so ugly you just can’t stop staring.
Garbage Pale Kids….i think they should make a card fighting game with those crazy kids….that would be interesting…does anyone remember the garbage pale kids movie? not cartoon movie…it actually had like midgets or something dressed up like our favorit characters…
That was back in my homeschooled days…I wasn’t allowed to have the Garbage Pail kids. Remember they were a sort of ripoff of the Cabbage Patch kids?
Looks like their site is up n’ runnin too. Sweet

i want the toxic avenger back….and my virginity….and maybe that dollar i dropped earlier and lost….other than that i’m pretty content right now
I want 2005 back. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got nothing against this “2006″, but 2005 was awesome.
Ed & Fooch, even though they aren’t gone today, but tomorrow, alas, they must go where the wind takes them, and I wish them the safest journey, and the softest landing once they get to their destination.
