Actually, it was officially nostalgia last year, but...
I was in college. FRIENDS premiered. PULP FICTION had come out. Hole released "Live Through This". Kurt Cobain died and Justin Bieber was born (coincidence?). And of course we were all like this...
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali
I remember that early episode of South Park (from 1997) where they unfreeze the man from 1994 who in the end had to go to the only place that would accept him... Des Moines.
I was in 10th grade. God, I can't believe how old that makes me feel. We got Internet at my house in '97 and I remember getting yelled at that nobody could use the phone while someone was online.
"Carson has combined his passion for helping children with his love for one of Cincinnati's favorite past times - cornhole - to create a unique and exciting event perfect for a corporate outing, entertaining clients or family fun."
I moved from an Upper East Side studio to a rent-stabilized one bedroom in the West Village.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
I was 4. I had to get stitches on my chin after falling off the top of the sliding pole at the pre-school playground. I remember nothing else except it got my mother to faint and I screamed like a banshee on the way there. I watched the **** out of The Lion King, saw it in theaters at least five times and begged to get Lion King bedding- which I did. My favorite PBS program, The Puzzle Place also premiered that year.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
