let us discuss

this is a very interesting article on nostalgia that i recommend everyone to read.

i ask a question... "what is your nostalgic peak??" (ie. when in your life did u enjoy culture's best?)



Personally, i think it was when i was 12-14. obviously the end of the Snes, and the beginning of a beautiful thing called multiplay (via the release of the N64)

this age brought on 3 things.

cheaper snes rental.
4 player bliss.
friends coming together for a common goal: fun.

whether it be playing stealth tiggy at night in an abandoned Burleigh State School, brandy around jev's house and lake, or just glued to the bottom right glow of the TV yelling, "bullshit!!! Borris is a bullshit character!!! he's too fast!!! hey, no one can be odd job, hes a BS character too!!", life was simple, cheap, and fun. we spent full days on the street sk8ing, on the lake, swimming, jumping off bridges near the church, having fun, getting mum to run you practically anywhere, cause she supported youthful activities and had trust in our innocense.

i think this was my cultural peak, cause culture didnt matter. all that mattered was who got the star, or golden gun, or tennis ace. it was a time of nintendo and PS. one was for multiplay, one was for single. we werent into clothes, alcohol, women or drugs.

obviously, in 10 more years i could come back and say the present now could have been. but culture is bland. people follow the alt or the hip. music is trying to sound new but isn't. pop culture saddens me, and whats sadder is im totally apart of it. in a small vent, i cringe from what i have become to onlookers, yet i dont care. this is a justification of who am i and why i dont want to be apart of this alternative culture madness.

anyway, i expect people to comment on their nostalgic peaks and on what we think contemporary culture is doing!!!

thank you for your time.
