What is it like to be raised in the 1990's?

I remember alot of things that happened in 1990's since I don't remember much about the 1980's. I personnally started to grow to become a man. I was still in elementary school from 1st grade when I reached the 5th grade. I do remember that I skipped the 4th grade in elementary school. That means I was in the third grade from 1993 to 1994. It was 1995 when I entered the fifth grade. I was raised in the Hoosier state of Indiana during half of the 1990's. We made our move to RI before the 90's was over in 98 and started in high school in 98 as well through 1999. I entered Jr. High in 1996 with my younger sister. 1997 was an historic year when I got bitten by the acting bug in Jr. High. I even did my last production in Jr. High in 98 to end the Indiana chapter of acting.

In 1999, I began my second chapter of acting in high school in Once Upon A Mattress. Going back a little bit, there are other things in the 90's that had changed my perspective about the weather as well. I was a kid when I got scared from thunderstorms which was actually true, since thunderstorms have tornadoes in them; and Indiana is part of Tornado Alley as well. We have signs down there that shows that tornadoes do occur. Our trip to Disney World in 95 was exciting from a kid perspective. I went under the scapel for the second time open heart surgery during the 9o's. That was scary and plus I still remember it even now! Before that happened I went through a cardiac procedure before the operation which is a heart cath. That was scary as well.

Nintendo was one of my favorite toys to play back than as well as action figures and toy weapons. I even watch TV as well. Wrestling in the 90's was my all time favorite including the WWF. Other favorites were the original Power Rangers, Superhero cartoons, Scooby Doo, Garfield and Friends and sitcoms. I still watch Sesame Street than as well as Barney and Bill Nye the Science Guy. I got music minded back than. Even though I still listen to children music back than, I got interested in other music genres such as pop from the 90's.

With the 90's over, it's time to talk about the New Million from 2000 to 2009 in the next blog

What is it like to be born in the 1980's?

Every generation changes over time ever since I was born. The only stuff I know about the 1980's is the stuff I read from the books about that time. The only music I usually listen to back than was music that kids enjoy such as Sesame Street,Barney and other kid oriented music. At that time of period I usually play with Stuff Animals, toy weapons and action figures. Historically; the 1980's is the technological era when computers were invented, Nintendo was big and MTV was playing music videos of that generation. Famous movies of the 1980's was another development of that era. Famous movies include: The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Nightmare on Elm Street, ET, Jaws 3 and Jaws the Revenge. Even some of the Rocky movies were out as well.

The Fashion from the 1980's was miraculously different as well. Torn Jeans was a hit as well as spandex and multicolor shirts and tank tops. The music of the 1980's was different as well from classic rock, the rise of hip-hop and heavy metal. Real life events occurred during that time when I was born. I got adopted, "even though I don't remember" I went through Open Heart Surgery for the first time when I was five, and started my education in kindergarten and early elementary school.

Basically the 1980's feels like home from moving from Ohio to Indiana. I spent the rest of my child hood from the late 80's and way into the 90's of which I will discuss in the next blog
