I just sang the Fresh Prince of Bel Air rap today!
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

This list should be titled, "You know you were a child of the 80's when..."

Ahhh nostalgia, how I heart thee.

Oh, you should add curly shoelaces and those pants with the strap around the bottom of your foot! And also granny boots... i remember being prepared to KILL for a pair of those in the second grade.

Yes, stirrups! That's what they were called. And skip-its ruled ALL. And Zack from Saved by the Bell :drool:

The only ones I actually remember/did were:

- "I've fallen and I can't get up!" (was that was from a Family Matters episode?)
- the Skip-Its... were those those things you put around your foot, and then it spinned (span?) around and you had to jump over it?
- Alf!!! I used to love that show!!! ... they showed it YTV for some reason. But I remember that! I even had Pogs with his face on it!

But then again, I was born in '88, so meh.
"if the nuremberg trials were applied to us foreign policy, every us president since 1945 would have been hanged." noam chomsky.

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.
