Nostalgia


Blake

Recommended Posts

So, I clicked on my profile, and the significance of havign 820 rep [i]just [/i]hit me despite seeing it multiple times today. Now my mind is full of memories and "wow, I am a derp for missing that"... And then I wonder how many people actually get the significance of 820, out of those who are currently active. My how the times change...

Anyways, discuss Nostalgia.

Nostalgia's my favorite pastime. Or one of them at least.
Been having Harry Potter fever lately, started playing Pokemon again, actually started reading books again, got caught up watching some Teen Titans footage yesterday, I'm always flashing back to something and at the end of the day, I'm thankful for the internet for letting me be able to nostalgia dive more than anything.

Honestly not much of a nostalgia-freak like some people are. I'm more of the person that welcomes new things and prefer change.

That said, I do like seeing things that I know from years back on occasion, but people blow up nostalgia like it's the best thing ever, when I really think it's not and it's a very poor way to look at anything.

Picking up some of the episodes of cartoons or even programs I watched when I was child makes me feel Nostalgic, like Sharky and George, used to love that haven't watched more than 2 episodes since it finished, but I have alot to watch, also Count Duckula. Good days, when life was easy and worry was over pointless things.

Well, within a week of each other I made [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/292537-totally-spies/"]this[/url], [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/292554-jackie-chan-adventures/"]this[/url], [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/292360-drake-josh/"]this[/url], and [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/292536-hi-hi-puffy-amiyumi/"]this[/url].

Also, one day at Wal-Mart, at the bargain dvd bin, I saw a copy of Iron Giant for $5, so I immediately grabbed onto it and held it like a precious newborn.

The only drug I need. Man, how I miss the 90s and early 2000s. The music, the movies, the video games, the...EVERYTHING.

Dear god, early 2000s was the most depressing time for music ever. Plenty of good music, but probably the most bad music I have ever heard in a long, long time.

I try not to be nostalgic, even though it's fun. I tend to escape into a little bubble of my past. Relaxing, but I'd prefer to concentrate on my future.

Nostalgia is overrated. I don't experience nostalgia, due to the fact that I don't forget about something and rediscover it. If, for example, I find a game worth playing, I play it a lot, and usually don't stop playing it. If it's not worth playing, I play it once, then never again. I also don't let nostalgia cloud my vision. Yes Pokemon Blue was my first Pokemon game. No it's not the best. Not by a long shot.

I try not to remember the past too much. I used to be skinny, trap like figure, quick, full of energy, innocent and not aware of indecent stuff like sex, and full of hope. Now I'm fat, slightly bitter, sexually deprived, sluggish, and a manipulative bastard to people who I hate.
Each time I look back at my old self, I wonder if it's not too late to try and change and go back.

f***, you guys made me depressed now. Gonna go look at ponies and plastic crack.

Yin's avatar is making me nostalgic about my days in Showcase in 2009. Another thing to discuss: can you be nostalgic about an era you never lived in?

I am so confused by the apparent contradiction in the above sentence.

[color=#0000CD]Since Mako bought Custom Robo for the game cube he's been talking to me about it even though it isn't a game I've played in years. Dat nostalgia. <3[/color]

[color=#0000CD]And he got Gotcha Force too but he doesn't seem to care for it as much. ;_;[/color]

^This, pretty much.

It's not that I don't care for it. It's just that Robo has priority over it. It's truly a fun game!

According to me (and I am [i]never[/i] wrong), yes. I am not nostalgic, per se, but I am immersed in the pop culture and style of a certain decade or two. Kind of a combination.
I have a feeling, when I'm old, I'll look back and think [i]ahh yes, the 80's, those were the days. Everything was unintentionally gay, TV writers were constantly on crack, and I did not exist. Such a fun time. Oh well, back to 99Luftballons on my Walkman.[/i]
