What do I mean by that? I mean when I was growing up I loved Satureday morning cartoons. I loved coming home from school and watching GARFIELD, Rugrats and several other shours that would consumes my hours instead of homework. Yes I admit I barely got by in school. That didn't mean I wasn't smart, it just meant that I was more concerned with fun during my childhood. Now you fastforward I am 23 years old, I still love cartoons and I love to read. I love to listen to Classical music, I love Grunge, Metal, Punk and hell even some Pop music if it sounds good to my ears and doesn't bother my brain.
Kids now have grown up too fast. They've got cellphones and computers, laptops more likely then a desktop. They dress like Britney Spears and Hannah Montana. They are "IN LOVE" with the Jonas brothers and Zach and Cody. I have no idea where all of this has come from and how in the world it destroyed everything I used to love.
Now don't get me wrong. I love the Shrek movies just as any one else does. Yet the old school hand drawn cartoons seem to be gone. I can even notice the computer animation in Sponge Bob Square Pants.
MP3 players have replaved CD players and Walkman Cassette players. Hell if I could, I'd walk around with a fucking ghettoblaster that runs off 100 batteries just to feel like it was 1994 all over again.
Hell I still dress like I did when I was in 5th grade. I haven't tried to outgrow who I am or tried to phase these parts out of me. I just cannot see why anyone would want to. Much like how kids are just doing things to be socially accepted, labeled and set to the wayside in the fabric of society. It's a fucking crime.
Please, anyone who is a parent. Take the cellphones away, turn the laptop off, the computer the TV, the blueray, th DVD's and smach the MP3 players. Get outside and build a treehouse with your kids. Throw a football around, teach them to skip and do cartwheels. HAVE A SACK RACE or something that you'd do a family BBQ or get together.
Or don't. The Choice is yours.
