I remember PotatoSack Hoodies and homemade bead crosses, or those multicolored plastic-straw keychains, those fuckin hella popular jolly-rancher pops (melted jollyranchers over blowpops) that kids would buy and sell. I remember break dancing CREWS, the "world-wars", i remember girls looking fly in the chokers, and baby-doll shirts, dark lipstick, and big belts and baggy cross-color, jean-co jeans and of course that one perfume, i fogot the name, but they were all wearing it. the fellas with the "mongol" or the hella long bangs, but shaved everywhere else, raiders and niner parkas, SAGGING started here... twirling pencils hella much in class and on breaks. i remember lighter shade of brown, TLC with "left-eye", SWV with that one remix or Micheal Jackson's song, we all knew the lyrics... E40 and his UGLY sista'? "ah-shoula-ah-shoula-shoula-SAAAAVEEE Huh? - I wanna be sssaavveed.", fucking biking or walking to the nearest thrifties, or lucky's or fuckin ALPHA BETA (you're hella local if u remember that) - for some ice-cream in the summer, going to the nearest local pizza joint, or liquor store, not for the shit they're selling, but for the whack ass ARCADE, street-fighter and mortal, the one basketball game where their heads get big and the balls catch fire. i remember fuckin.. boyz-II-men, BBD... the eastcoast family, ba-dum-dum-da-da, ba-dum-dum-da-da... ba-ya-ya-ya, ya-ya...yaa-yaaaah... i remember those fuckin car alarms because we hit it with the lightweight wavy twisty NERF football, orange and black... i remember watching those played out movies on KBHK44 or channel 20 when it was still independently owned, with that whack ass old-white-poeple dance show, and that skinny white guy host, or channel 36 tryin to be 44, channel 2 always came out whack when we tried to watch in living color, 7 and 9 were always better reception, fucking TGIF!!! oh my god, i was glued to those fucking 2 hours, immediately followed by 20/20... i remember "G-language", i remember "peace", i remember, "k.i.t.", "f.u.c.k.i.t.", .j.a.p.a.n." - i remember everyone had a cousin or a boyfriend who was a DJ, but none of them could mix well, i remember SLAM BOOKS, i remember the physical fitness test, i remember how fun it was to do the 100 meter dash, or flag football, my school was so ghetto, we played basketball with the garbage bins as the baskets, how everyone hated doing the line-dancing in PE, the fuckin "pop-corn", dun-dun-dun-dun-dunt-dunt-dun... but it was fun making our own routines... i remember graffiti on railroad tracks, i remember AC Slater and Zack Morris and his hella big ol'skool cell phone... i remember my family and my neighbors, i remember warm summer nights eating a frozen cantalope popsicles (whaaa???) - i remember times were better then...
