You know, I think I'm a very nostalgic person. I like to remininisce about days gone by pretty often. Usually this would be the days I came home after school to watch Nickelodeon. I'm confident that I was able to experience the golden age of kid's programming. Nickelodeon at that time was really something special. So many shows were just so unique, and interesting, and intelligent, even for rewatching as an adult over ten years later. I really do feel blessed that I was born when I was and had access to Nicelodeon in the mid '90s. Especially since Nickelodeon seems to feel it's unnecessary to continue to release their Rewind collection they started several years back. They released season 1 of Clarissa Explains It All and seasons 1 and 2 of Adventures of Pete and Pete, which I bought both seasons of. They planned to release the 3rd season, but they canned it for some reason. It's really disappointing. But there were many other great shows on Nick that may never be shown again. Who knows?
My friend Josh and I were discussing our glory days in Computer Tech back in high school during lunch today, and how enjoyable it was having such a diverse range of personalities. We had our usually laid-back teacher that was super awesome, but got really mad sometimes. We had Flaming J, who liked to kick people in the balls and hump new computer boxes. We had Bowman, the mentally slow kid who really loved Pokmon, apples, and licking his computer screen. We had the Nettleton kids who wore trench coats every day in a post-Columbine world and who smelled obviously of weed. We had the weird freshman kid who hung all over one of the few girls in the class, and liked to ask her questions like, "if you were an animal, what kind would you be and what would you say?" and "what's your favorite color and why?" Galli, who tried to make a computer virus with help from some of the rest of us, who got our teacher so excited that we were trying a project on our own that she also helped us with it. The christian dude that did nothing but work on Power House posters for the entire class almost every day. Overall, that conversation left me wishing I'd never graduated from high school and could still have as much fun as I did in Comp Tech. Unfortunately, our teacher retired that year that most of us graduated, and the next year the mood of the class changed and the new teacher turned it into some kind of Nazi concentration camp from what I understand. But I'll still have the fondest memories of her and the rest of the class. Josh and I were talking about how all of the stories we have would make a great movie. I definitely know we'd go see it.
