I remember if the TV wasn't working right the fix was simply to kick it. I remember having to walk over to the VCR to fix the tape since the tracking was off and who would have remote for something like that? I remembered ruining my dad's tracked printer paper and sending him into flying rage in the process. I remember getting smacked down by my mom and dad when I got out of line and having to put sopa in my mouth when I swore. I remember you didn't have to wear helmets on bikes and when skate boarding was actually difficult on thin boards. I even remember that video games were actually difficult and that many of these kids can't muster the skill of an almost 30 year man who kicks their asses on a regular basis. I remember when MTV, cable, and the Simpson's would rot my brain. I remember setting slot cars on fire because I overloaded the surge protector free wall outlet. I even remember we didn't have answering machines and had to devote times when we could use the 18k dial up modem to get on the internet. I also remember think my dad's 82 Corvette was the closest car ever. Times have changed and probably not the for the better.
