Everything old is new…again.
Here are just a few of them:
Bell bottom jeans, only now they’re “flare” bottom jeans – Didn’t we, as a civilization, not learn ANYTHING from the 70’s? Seriously, straight leg pants are a little too much “flare” for me. I suppose the next thing we’ll be seeing are the butterfly collars. I’m so not happy.
Sustainable, going green, reducing the size of your “footprint” – That’s like what a hippie would say! It’s like being a hippie! What’s more is that its acceptable now to be this way! They even have commercials about being “GREEN”! Seriously though, when I see a Prius I move along quick – just in case a random group of gun happy cops in riot gear show up… just saying.
Downsizing your lifestyle – shoot that’s good old-fashioned fiscal responsibility; our parents and grandparent did this. Okay, maybe our grandparents because I”m pretty sure many of our parents were out burning bras and dropping “special” sugar cubes. Again, Prius, random cops, riot gear…nuff said.
Movies – have you noticed how many “remakes” they’re doing now days? Personally, I’m saving a bundle by staying home. Hey, I’ve already seen them once so I know how its going to end. Naturally, this isn’t such a hit with the kids. I’ve taken to telling them what happens in the movie and making them act it out…well, I’m entertained by it.
Hair Styles – I guess this one is mostly for guys. The look now days seems to be a re-hash of the Beetles’ look only a little more “care-free”. I used to have long hair until I went to college. My professor made me get a haircut or risk losing my scholarship. Since then I can’t stand my hair to touch my ears let alone my shoulders. What is more, I am NOT looking forward to the “Winged” look coming back for women: Farrah Fawcett was hot, her hair was not.
Next thing you know they’ll be bringing back Vanilla Ice, and PEE WEE HERMAN… oh wait…
What are some of the things you’ve noticed?
Cheers!

No – please not Pee Wee Herman. ARRRRGH! But yeah, so many re-runs of past realities…odd. (Maybe it’s the solar flares…?)
I know but as long as he avoids those “movies” we shoud all be fine I suppose.

I hear you on the movie front. We thought we might go to the cinema last night and there was not a bloody thing on worth the exorbitant ticket price. There was some shark flick that, although it didn’t confess it, looked suspiciously like Jaws. There is only one Jaws. Well, ok, there were more than one, but they all sucked after “You’re gonna need a bigger boat!”.
As to fashion, you know I’m not that concerned about the flares or bellbottoms or whatever you want to call them .. so long as they keep them up over their ass. I do not give a crap what designer undies you’re wearing, man. Put them away!
JAWS! LOL! My kids totally don’t understand how that movie has caused me to completely avoid the beach all these years… guess the only one that could get me is that SNL land shark!
Totally agree with you on the pants thing. I’ve brainwashed my daughter to feel the same way.
