I get nostalgic about:
-Dad taking my brother and I on weekend drives to check out cars, junkyards (for auto parts), car stereos, and home sound systems (I miss Sound Designsin Fayetteville, NC).
-The phone calls from my dad and brother to discuss fight predictions the night of major prize fights. They passed away in 2009 and 2013, respectively.
-Awaiting new music releases at Paradise Music (RIP) in Fayetteville.
-Hanging with my dudes, pumpin' my new beat tape, puffin' blunts, and freestylin'.
-The 42" vertical leap, dunkin' on cats era (early adulthood); Physical prime days!
-Hittin' my local diggin' spots every week (don't have a local spot these days).
-Having a full head of black (not gray) hair.
-Throwing back liquor like a champion and the good times associated with doing so (such drinking would kill me today).
-Carefree bachelor days with few responsibilities.
-Not having protonopia (my near vision is starting to suck).
-Producing rap groups/rappers.
-When people could take a joke (this PC shit today makes me sick)
-When cellphone driving wasn't rampant.
-When the remedy for bullying was a stern ass-whoopin' (helicopter parenting-related).
-When kids played in sandlots (and childhood obesity was rare).
-When parents let their kids go through some shit to toughen 'em up (softy college kids-related).
-When kids got spanked, respected adults (and others), and didn't shoot up schools, their parents, innocent church parishoners, etc.
-Radio before Clear Channel fucked it up.
-When free speech was respected as a right of freedom.
-Living at home as a child and not paying bills.
-When politicians weren't completely batshit crazy.
-When Bill Cosby was not (known as) a vile pervert and sociopath (he fucked up what could have been a great legacy by being a reprehensible person).
Peace,
