I recently met up with Nadia at the Takoma Park Film Festival. If I can be a complete whore for a quick minute, Nadia's short film "Fanatic" was among those that were featured at the film festival...and you can have a copy of it on DVD. It would make a nice gift and support a new spirit of filmakers. Find out more information at

Back to the story, I asked her at one point, do you remember so and so? She would say no and then prod me about why do I care or think about these people. I would reply someone had to. Then she said that it was in the past and I should move on adding that more than likely they are not thinking about me. Well, it's not the first time this was brought about. Other people ask why do I think about the past. Well, here is an answer for everyone. Because the past was better.
Now don't get me wrong, Somethings from the past I would definately do without, but as far was the good times That's why I hold on. Let's be honest, first and foremost the toys were better. The toys they have now, kids are being sent to school 24 hours a day it seems like as far as television programs and toys. Back then, Toys made us think because we had to use our imaginations. My Buddy, Kid Sister, Legos, not like the interactive learning crap that comes out now.
The music was a hundred times better. There hasn't been a new male artist that has sung a decent love song since 1998, maybe 1999. The most singing that you will even get is maybe the female hook in a bama hip hop song. The women are begging for a man, before then they were just asking us to be treated right.
Staying on the subject of women, they dressed better overall back then. I preference this by saying if the following does not apply to you, you should not be offended. These days, girls are running to the chance to show their t-n-a's off. It's a shame that they are leaving themselves open to be violated by these perverted bastards with the cell phone cameras. I always seem to ask myself if they have any respect for themselves so they don't leave themselves open.
Well, those are the three main categories that I can think of off the top of my head. Plus I'm a nostalgic at heart, I can't help loving the old stuff. Even though the good parts of the past will have a place in my heart, I cannot wait to see what the future holds.
