man the 90's were the shit, that was like the last decade where you could be a kid and just fuck around, get hurt, spend all day with no supervision etc.. and nobody gave a shit. once 2000 came around everyone got all PC and ruined it.
so many good memories tho, sleep overs with like 10 hours of straight tony hawks pro skater and tekken. taking like a year to beat metal gear solid. building tree houses, falling out of them, airsoft battles in the middle of the neighborhood. sittin on the curb shooting rocks through my neighbors garage door, not caring.
We spent like a month this one summer when i was like 9 building BMX jumps on this dirt bike path that connected me and my friends neighborhoods, we spent literally all day every single day that summer hitting those jumps, getting like 3 feet of air and being completely stoked to do it. we built forts off the side of that bike path and fucking owned that path, we would light shit on fire, make homemade explosives and scare the shit out of people, blast 90's music on my boombox all day, fight off the kids we didnt like when they would try to use our jumps. those jumps were still there 11 years later, then they had to pave it and make it into some gay bike path with signs and rules and artwork off the sides.
i remember when we first found out about potato cannons and we would try arching the shit out of it trying to hit eachothers houses like 1/4 mile away on the other side of the neighborhood. blasting prarrie dogs. then model rocket engines.. we would set them off in the middle of the neighborhood and watch them fly all over the place, we set up fishing line down an entire street like 3 blocks, and attached random shit to rocket engines. people would yell at us and we just didnt give a fuck.
and soooo much more shit..
as awesome as that was though life just keeps getting better and better. being over 18 and having the ability to basically do whatever you want is the shit. every last summer has been my best summer yet. and my experiences just keep getting better and better. the one thing that keeps getting worse though, is societies inability to cope with fun and danger and non politically correct actions. you cant fucking ride your bike across the street without someone bitching at you for breaking the rules.
