Flashback
Turn back in time where you
used to sit 4 hours watching the Rugrats. Where you
wouldn’t ever leave your house without your nano baby, and
when Blues Clues was actually challenging. Rewind back to the
times when your favorite shows were Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Pinky
and the Brain, AAAAAAAH Real Monsters!, and Rocko’s modern
Life. When you watched re-runs of TGIF, Step by Step, Family
Matters, Dinosaurs, and Boy Meets World. When you remember
reading every series of Goosebumps, or in that case, remember
listening to your mom read them as she grew bored and bored and
as you grew more excited as to what would happen next. When
bringing plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school was pretty much
cool, and saying “NOT,” after every sentence was the
way to talk. When every argument was settled by rock paper
scissors, bubble gum bubble gum in a dish, or daddy had a donkey
inky binky bonky. When cops and robbers was a daily activity, and
when hide and go seek was put to pause only when it was snack
time. The days when we used to actually obey our parents and when
the radio was all we depended on for music. When you knew that
Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green ranger, were
meant to be together. When you always wanted to send in a tape to
America's Funniest Home Videos . . . but never taped anything
funny…so you gave up. When the Magic School Bus made you
think that school buses could fly, and when yo-yos made you
popular. When getting married meant buying your crush a Ring Pop,
and blabbing some random words behind the dumpster. When reading
that little paper in the fortune cookie meant everything to you
because it predicted your life. The days when you could tell
furbie all your little secrets and expect him to talk back, and
when Beanie Babies were the talk of the class. When you got
creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" And when
you knew the Macarena by heart. When you lied to your parents to
bring you to McDonalds because you were starving, when really,
you wanted to play in the play place. When gas was $0.95 a gallon
& Caller ID was a new thing, and when checking out drawing
books and "Rainbow Fish" from the library was the cool
thing to do. Before we realized all this would eventually
disappear we didn’t bother to think of how good things
were. Flashback…to the world we live in now.

this is amazing. it should be like the first quote on the top quotes page. the reason i think its not: cause some people think its "to long" to read. but if its worth reading like this, then it could go on forever; and all you would want to do is read.. just saying i love this; and its fabulous(:
