 I'm 41 and it dawned on me the other day, I'm not that young anymore. Then I realized I'm old enough to play Remember When. For example...
- I remember when gas was less than $1 and the thought of it being over $2 was part of some freakish future vision.
- I remember when bending over in your jeans and showing your ass crack was embarrassing. People laughed at you!
- I remember when you could buy a stamp for like 15 cents. In fact, I remember when you needed to buy stamps to write checks and then actually mail your checks through the mail. It wasn't snail mail, just mail.
- I remember when a Value Meal was $2.99.
- I remember when MTV was Music Television and they actually played music videos. Did you know that VH-1 stood for Video Hits - 1 and not Very Humiliating Ones? And if you have seen even one episode of Tool Academy, Real Chance at Love or any other of those non-reality shows you know exactly what I mean.
- I remember when The Year 2000 seemed far away!
- I remember when, in order to be famous, you actually had to have some sort of talent. You had to know how to act, sing, play an instrument and if you weren't talented or good-looking, you could run for public office. But you had to do something more than making a sex tape, appearing on a 'reality' show or just being born rich.
In addition, to playing Remember When, I can also play I Don't Know and I Don't Care. For instance, I don't know any of the cast members on any of those CW shows and I don't care that I don't know. - I don't know what the big deal is about Lady Gaga and I don't care.
- I don't know why anyone wants to watch people raise their kids on TV. Don't most people have their hands full raising their own kids? Why do you want to put them to bed and then watch some other people raising their kids?
- I don't know why anyone cares about Miley Cyrus. So what? Why did I have to hear on the news that she canceled her Twitter account? I don't care and neither do other adults who actually watch the news.
- I don't know why in the hell people think Lil Wayne is talented and I, for damn sure, don't understand what anyone finds attractive about a guy who looks like The Predator.
