My Old Crew from back in the day.
We have since all gone separate ways. :( |
So it's early and I am awake. I don't usually watch t.v in the morning because there isn't shit on. This morning however I decided to revisit my childhood and check out some Fresh Prince. I watched it every morning before school and never really payed much attention I suppose. Well, this morning the episode was about Will taking pills to help him stay awake and nearly killing Carlton. Remember everyone? Anyway, looking back I remember thinking, "I'm not dumb like Carlton, I could take some stay awake pills and be cool". So did my subconscious tell me as I got older that it was okay?? Hmmm?? Before The Fresh Prince I knew nothing about drinking or partying. Don't get me started on them lil whores on saved by the bell, same thing. Kelly took a bunch of pills, what's her face that no one cared about had a drinking problem. Just saying. The television shows I watched as a kid were horrible really, I just didn't know it. The shows on today are even worse, I mean everyone on the show under 17 is knocked up and everyone on the show over 40 is with a 20 year old..... this must be very confusing for children. So glad I don't have any and am not one anymore. The list could go on and on. But I however cannot. Just an observation post really. Anybody with me on this? Can you name some more shows with this underage glorifying of bad behavior?? Wait doesn't MTV have a show called 16 and pregnant? Ooooh, What's a girl gotta do to get on that show? Oh wait get knocked up and ruin your future, unless you have rich parents that will take care of you and your bastard, because the child will be, because Daddy will bail. All those shows about teen pregnancy if you pay attention, the rich little cheerleader's mom just took care of the kid all the time so she could party. Not the poor girl, her ass was sitting on her tattered couch watching an antenna t.v playing with hand me downs from a church with her child. Big difference. I am rambling now. Really.
