Respect my authoritaugh! Man that was SOME party.. check out all the babes.
Life just isn't like that anymore. Back then, everyone in the neighborhood was friends with each other, as well as their kids. I think I'd love to be in a coma if I could just keep reliving my childhood! Maybe that would make a good movie - some kind of Total Recall slash Vanilla Sky kind of story. You pay to be put into suspended animation and live out your childhood again. Maybe even get a second chance to try things out a little differently. Only you could have the same intellect as you did going into this state. You would also have to be a secret agent stationed on Mars. All of your childhood would be the same, only located on Mars instead. You might even try being the opposite gender. You would have a totally different life and it wouldn't be like your childhood at all! You would be eternally stuck in HELL with no way out. That would be a shitty movie.
Not that life isn't good right now! I just get sickly nostalgic because it was so good when I was growing up and I miss it. I still have a few strong links to the past, including a friend that I can have 9 hour "remember when" conversations with. We talk once every couple of years, but nothing is different between us when we do. It's cool having someone from your past that's changed and grown in the same ways you have. You just start where you left off last and fill in a few blanks - otherwise nothing's changed.
