the old days...

Remember…
Before Sidekicks & iPods.Before MIKE JONESBefore PlayStation2 or X-BOX.Before the 5 hours(5min) of homework you put off every night.WHEN LIGHT UP SNEAKERS WERE KOOLWhen you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie.When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our walkmans.When 2Pac and Biggie where alive.When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever.Way back..........Tag and freeze tag.Hide-n-Go Seek at dusk.Red Light, Green Light.Heads Up 7 Up.Playing kickball & dodgeball until your porch light came on.Hopscotch.Slip-n-Slides.Tree Houses.Hula Hoops.Skip-its.Reading R.L. Stine's Goose Bumps.The annoying Nano Pets & Furbies.Running through the sprinklers.Crying when Mufasa died in the Lion King.Happy Meals where you chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car.Getting the privelage to sit in the front seat of the car.Drinking Sqeeze It "Squeeze The Fun Out Of It."But wait....Watching Saturday Morning Cartoons in your PJ's still wrapped up in your Garfield comforter.Hey Arnold, Doug, Rugrats.The original Power RangersOr what about....The Secret Life of Alex Mac.Ren & Stimpy.Double Dare.Rocko's Modern Life.AAAHH!! REAL MONSTERS.Wild & Crazy Kids.Clarissa Explains it All.Salute Your Shorts.Are You Afraid of the Dark?The original cast members of All That.Kenan & Kel.The Magic School Bus.Flash Forward.Pete and Pete.Legends of the Hidden Temple.Hey Dude.Dinosaurs.Pinky and the Brain.Blossom.Hangin' With Mr. Copper.Wishbone.Bill-Nye the Science Guy.Kablamm.And If you're old enough...ThundercatsSilverhawksTransformersGo_BotsG.I. JoeVoltron!!HeathcliffGumbyWho could forget Snick? & Nick @ Nite with Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, The Facts of Life, & I Love Lucy.Where everyone wanted to be in love after watching The Wonder Years.Or Nick Jr. with Face.Gulah-Gulah Island.Little Bear.Under the Umbrella Tree.The Busy World of Richard Scary.The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.Kool-Aid was the drink of choice.Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school.Class field trips.When Christmas was the most exciting time of year.When $5 seemed like a million, & another dollar a miracle.When you begged to go to McDonalds for dinner everyday.When Toys 'R' Us overuled the mall.Go back to the time when.....Argument's were only started when it came to who was gonna be the redranger.Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'.Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!''Race issue' ment arguing about who ran the fastest.Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly'.It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends.Being old referred to anyone over 20.A chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery.Scrapes & bruises were kissed & made better.It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the 'big people' rides at the fair.When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever.When Ninja Turtles ruled the world.When Lisa Frank was the raddest thing ever.When a candy bar at the grocery store was the highlight of your day.When coupons collected all year could get you a prize in your class auction.When the only thing you cried over was your mom being late to pick you up.When stress was addition and subtraction.When friendships were as complicated as who's house to sleep over.When shaving cream was just meant for play.When a first kiss only lead to cooties.When Valentines Day meant cards for all.When birthdays were a class event.When a friend moving away was the saddest day of your life.When the summer lasted forever.When time didn't matter.These were the days we hadn't realized escaped us until it's all brought back.When taking a bath is all you really feared.When your parents would call you in during a good game of hide and seek and you would beg for 5 more mins.
someone posted this on myspace and it made me think about how true it is. you dont realize it till its over.

Biology turned me into a vegetarian!!

Today and all this week we have to disect things. today we had to disect a craw fish or something. I was so disgusted. my friend mistie started crying because her partners were mutalating it. my partners were torturing ours and i almost cried. later that day my grandma fixed me lunch. we had potatoes and carrots and green beans and smoked sausage. it was good but once i started to eat the sausage it was so hard to get it down. its hard to eat meat because you can just see the animal and smell the fermaldahide. i dont know if thats how you spell it but either way its nasty. i was talking, well kind of debating, with my teacher Mrs.Payton about why we had to disect things when people have done it before its going to be the same results. why cant we just learn from a diagram. i mean itll be the same. i can understand maybe having scientist disect something once every like twenty years to see if any changes have been made but not to sacrifice hundreds of animals each year because they can. things dont change that often. i think we should create a software for education on disecting so that so many animals arent raised and killed. i know people argue that they dont kill the animals the die naturally on those animal farms for "education." but how could they all die at the same time and be in perfect condition. its sick. i mean how would you feel if you were raised to get killed and then get disected. you wouldnt die naturally they'll kill you then soak you in fermaldahide. yea when you just think of the frog it dosent occur to you but what if you where him/her. how would you feel. next time think about what your eating and/or disecting. what if you were that animal. how would you feel? for more info on this topic or other animal cruality article visit www.peta2.com

If I was a superhero what three powers would I pick? Would I use them for good or evil and how would the powers be used? Example-mind control---used for good-to regain world peace.
