What Happened In My Birth Year?

Needs to go much faster I can feel myself aging

OMG……………so…………totally…………agree……….what…………….do…………….they…………..think……… …I…………..am……………reading…………..at………….a…………..third……………grade…………level????  ?????

Yeah, slow, poor use of “glazing” but still fascinating.

I always felt kind of special being born in 1984. So much of what later came to be a huge part of my life got its start then. My mom, of course, always talked about taking me to see Amadeus when I was a baby. I feel really sorry for the other people in the theatre.

I’m surprised he didn’t include things like who was president in the US and stuff, since much hay has been made in my life that both of my sisters and I were born in Election/Olympic years. 1984/1988/1996

Of course, the most surreal experience in anyone’s life is talking with someone you’ve known from the day they were born. You see glimmers of intelligence in kids from a very young age, but one day you realize they’re leaving youtube comments…

Christ! That was sinister and demoralising!

He should have customized the words more. I typed in 2008, and it still said that that was many years ago.

Sooooo sloooooooow

Am I the only one who saw “or even Neatorama” after “Or Yahoo?” That’s kinda slick.

Zzzzzzz……..

Ditto alexf’s comment above.

That site was pretty lame. Weak. The person that did this couldn’t even be bothered to create new copy for different years? Seriously? So it regurgitates whatever year you put in the same tripe over and over (glazed eyes? 3D, movies, whatever…), not even interesting stuff. The captain obvious comments about books and stuff, like we’re supposed to go “WowweeEEE there was books back then and you didn’t read anything on computers, I had no idea?!” To top it off the glacial crawl of the complete tripe to see the same stupid stuff over and over is just a bother.

Seriously, Neatorama posts some pretty awesome and cool things with links, but this, this was definitely not one of them.

I just celebrated my birthday on the 22nd so this was really nice to come across! Johnny Cat, I got neatorama and yahoo too. I thought that was cool. I just think for someone who takes the time to put out something like that, I wanted take the time to really appreciate it. I didn’t mind the wait.

I remembered when going to the movies was an occasion. Raiders of the Lost Ark was a favorite movie of mine but I saw it when I was older and it was on HBO. I do remember cheesy 3D effects in my childhood but it was in books and those prizes out of cereal boxes. I have never heard of Nobel House. Maybe I’ll get it from the library…which now you can electronically get it delivered to your house. No fancy book stores then with multimedia or coffee shops inside.

Saturday morning cartoons were still a “get up in your pajamas with a bowl of cereal” kind of morning. I also remember those brownish cable boxes that were attached to a cable with a slider that changed the channels.

One year away from 30 and I can say I really enjoyed looking back at those events with a different appreciation than when I was a little kid.
