I am a sucker for remember whens, I am the type of person who dwells to much on the past and tends to over look the future. I like to think back to the times when I was little and relish on how simple life really was back then and how much I constantly took it for granted. Remember when getting high meant swinging as high as you could at the playground, not hitting a joint. Remeber when the worst thing you could get from a boy was cooties and now its aids. Remeber when war was a card game that you played with no intention to harm any one else. Remember when the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever and the players then were real and they took part in no dog fighting. Remember the long summer nights spent catching fireflies and playing tag until dusk, not drinking your self crazy with hopes of surviving till sunrise.
Do you remeber wearing your new shoes on the first day of school? Now kids in schools carry guns. Remember when 5 dollars seemed like a million and six was just plain crazy! How much i would kill to have decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'. Remeber when race issue ment arguing about who ran the fastest not what color someone was. Remember when there was a birthday party at a roller rink in the 6th grade and a chance to skate as a couple at was like winning the lottery. Remember when your best friend moving away was the saddest day of your life. It seems to me like the kids these days are growing up to fast. They need to stay kids as long as they can. They need to experience the sort of 'Never never land' lifestyle that Walt Disney created. Just in writing this it has brought back so many memories to my childhood that are impossible to forget.The past is always great, it is what has made you into who you are today. Where would you be without those summer nights or the times spent playing war and not living in one. The only good thing about the future is that it is in our hands, we can make it what we want. Yeah memories last forever but the future is just a memory we havent created yet.
I think Eve 6 says it best..."Here's to the nights

We felt alive
Here's to the tears
You knew you'd cry
Here's to goodbye
Tomorrow's gonna come too soon
Too soon"
