Things you sure miss.

The original ren and stumpy show.

Star trek the way it used to be.

Being able to look up a number online without someone sticking their hand out for money.

Seeing classic Christmas movies on tv before the blood soaked vultures talon of american corporate greed pulled them all behind a paywall.

Not  missing a show I'd like  to watch because of a paywall.

Omni magazine.

Going a year without having superhero movies shoved in my face constantly.

Free speech.

Going a day without hearing or seeing anything related to The tangerine nightmare. 

Hope.

pocket radios - the kind with a speaker

walkman radios

head set radios... seriously, these things would've made you think walkmans were kinda stupid when they first came out.

those cheap portable black & white TVs

cassette players with translucent doors on them

electronic devices with knobs on them

Not that much, to be honest. Now is now and the past had its moment. This is a good era in that dash between the dates on my tombstone, and I'm happy here.

HASTINGS.  I loved that store, and there is nothing like it left in my hometown now.

What was it?

Small news stands where they sold comics and magazines.

HASTINGS.  I loved that store, and there is nothing like it left in my hometown now.

What was it?

Movies to rent or buy, books, music, magazines, cool Tshirts, memorabilia, action figures, games, you name it.
It was my second home!

  that Brief time between the passing of the no call list and the day big biz disovered it could just utterly ignore it and launch a new barrage of endless harassing calls constantly.

Life without Internet. It was so much filled with mistery, adventure, and novelty. Even the simple things like catching a cool movie at 2am on the TV, finding a group of people that share your obscure tastes, or playing an awesome game that nobody knows, are completely lost thanks to the overblowing amount of information we have nowadays. The world is now smaller and boring.

Nowadays if someone goes on a trip and doesn't call everyone he meets to tell them he's allright, people lose his s**t instantly. How did we survived when it had to be many days until we could actually call someone to let them know we were fine? And what about GPS? I remember I manage to drive 2000km by myself across my country and not getting lost once, yet now I can't even handle my own city without using my cellphone.

We became incredibly dependant on Internet, it sucks. If the end of the world finally comes, it won't be zombies or anything retarded like that, it will be the complete collapse of Internet, believe me.

Egg beater style heavy duty two speed breast drills, preferably the ones by Millers Falls.

Those kinds of four wheel drive vehicles that had a separate gear shift, maybe even get out & turn the wheel locks on or off.
I'm told this fancy new full time all wheel drive thing causes a drag on the back end which reduces your gas mileage & shortens the life of your tires...

It's the kind with a shoulder brace on it... And it's not the same thing as a Chest Drill, which has a pistol grip and actually IS meant for cutting bones... Google it!


Y'Know, speaking of older model cars, I really miss the kind where the rear passenger windows came all the way down.
Seriously, What's up with the things only going halfway down?
Like that's really gonna stop a little kid or a pet from trying to climb out, or some sicko from trying to reach in!

I kinda miss the day when you could choose manual windows, you  know, the kind you could  crank up and down regardless off the car's battery. I mean they act like those are illegal now.
