once in a lifetime events that have happened in your life

[hevnsnt]

I will tell them how you used to be able to:

-Download Movies, Games, and Music off the internet. FOR FREE!
-Chat with a lot of people that you have NEVER SEEN or MET using the most basic of text. Without any pictures or colors (ATOT)
-People used to send letters via the post office.
-The post office actually delivered PAPER LETTERS!
-Every car ran on GAS, and I remember it costing 0.87 a gallon
-Make anoymous calls with payphones
-Nobody had a cellphone, pager, or internet updating GPS. You could honestly be gone and there would be NO WAY of getting in touch with you.

I would tell them that I lived in the greatest decade of all mankind - the 1990s. That decade will be known as the epitome of human civilization when our greatest worry was if Elian Gonzalez would go back to Cuba or stay in the United States. And no, I am not being sarcastic.

Political propaganda twisted by the media. This is what you get, I guess.
