like nostalgia unless it's mine."

Reed
And this is mine. You probably
would not be interested in this page. Unless, you are looking for
an excuse to delve back into the 80's and early 90's! I was just
2 years old when the 80's came. Some of you might think i'm not a
'true' kid from the eighties...but I was a pretty bright kid back then,
so I knew what was going on.
I'm just looking for ways to take
up space and I've always wanted to write things down and remember.
So...this page is pretty much for me to save and add to. But you're
welcome to scroll down memory lane with me. Its just some little things
that i used to watch, do, listen to, etc....some i forgot, some still around...but
it was different back then....
*there are a lot of
reruns
here from the 60's and 70's...but i watched them in the 80's so i just
put them on....it's MY trip down memory lane okay??

Okay...who thinks that cartoons now
days suck, raise your hands!! *raising hands wildly!!!* *sister's raisings
hand's wildly* *mom's raising her hands AND feet!!* man, i'm
sorry, but i dont like these 90's cartoons. i miss the good ol' thick
lined, colorful cartoons (those illustrational type?). not like some
of these really sketchy, anime-like cartoons they show now. *sigh*
i have to watch the cartoon network to see my fave cartoons. do you
remember them?????
