For all the guys of the 80 I read this post in a blog of a girl
E 's a bit long but I think it is worth reading and reflecting on.
I was almost moved
"... remember the names of all five Spice Girls, including hideous costumes
... playing the nintendo 64

NOT ... watch my little pony, alvin superstar and ninja turtles
.... Barbie was still married to ken
... there Wednesday without a copy the mouse (or minnie & co or the magazine barbie)

... to encompass and walked around proudly with all the junk that was attached
... have you seen Titanic three times, including two in a row at the cinema and
... you used the stick of gum earrings
...
blossom and loved Saved by the Bell ... remember who the Five and their trashissimo video with the cardboard shape

The purpose of this text is to make justice a generation, those of us born in the 80s (or take a year less), those who then see the home purchased by our parents now claim 20 or 30 times as much, and who will pay their own until the age of 50. We did the war, nor have we seen landing on the moon, we have not lived the years of lead, nor have we voted on the referendum on abortion and our historical memory begins with the Italy World Cup '90, with the mascot Hello.
For not directly experienced the '68 tell us that we do not have ideals, but we know about politics any more than they believe and know more than ever, our siblings and descendants.
Santa does not always brought us what we asked, but we are told, and still feel, we had it all, even those who came after us so that they had everything, and nobody tells them. We are the last generation that has learned to play marbles, jump rope, play wolf eats fruit, one-two-three-star, and at the same time the first to play computer games, to have gone to amusement parks or seeing the cartoon in color.
We wore bell-shaped trousers, a cigarette, a leg of the elephant and the crooked stitching, our first suit was blue with white stripes on the sleeves and our first sneaker brand we have had after 10 years.
went to school when November 1st was All Saints' Day and Halloween, when it was still rejected, we're the last to make the maturity and the pioneers of the 3 +2? We have been labeled as Generation X and we had to put up and Visitors Trails, Twin Peaks and Beverly Hills (I liked them then, go see them now, you'll see that disappointment).
Spank We laughed with, cried with Candy-Candy, danced with Heather Parisi, sung by Cristina D'Avena and learned Greek mythology with Pollon.
We are a generation that saw Maradona to campaign against drugs. We always remember events that took place before we were born, as if we had not experienced any historical event.
We have learned what is terrorism, we saw the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Clinton have improper relations with his secretary in the Oval Office, we were the youngest victims of Chernobyl, and those of our generation have made the war ( Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.)..
We learned how to program a VCR before anyone else, we played Pac-Man, we hate Bill Gates and believe that the Internet would be a free world. We are the generation of Bim Bum Bam and the Drive-in. We are the generation that went to the cinema to watch movies of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. The latest to use the chips to the phone. We're thrilled with Superman, ET, or In Search of the Lost.
ate the Big Bubble, but not the Hubba Bubba was evil in the supermarket the cashier gave us the sugar candies as change .. We are the generation of Crystal Ball ('you can play with Crystal Ball?'), Of the surprises of Mulino Bianco, Lego bricks in the shape of brick, the Smurfs, the Volutrons, Magnum PI, Holly and Benji, Mimi Ayuara, l ' Incredible Hulk, Poochie, Yatterman, Rainbow Brite, He-Man, Urusei Yatsura, Creamy, Kiss Me Licia, the Barbapapa, the Mini-Pony, the Micro-Machine, Big Jim and the house of Barbie box but with the lift.
generation who still wonders if Mila Shiro and eventually go together.
The last generation to see their father loaded the luggage rack of the machine beyond belief to go on holiday 15 days.
The latest generation of drugs.
Looking back is hard to believe that we are still alive: journey by car without seat belts, no special seats and no air bags, travel 10-12 hours and did not suffer from tourist class syndrome. We did not have gates with guards, cabinets or medicine bottles with child resistant closures. We went by bicycle without a helmet or protection for the knees or elbows.
swings were iron with sharp edges and the play of penance was brutal.
There were no cell phones.
went to school full of books and notebooks, all stuffed into a folder that had rarely padded shoulder straps, much less the wheels!
Magiavamo cakes and drank soft drinks, but we were not obese. At most one was fat and fine.
We attach the same bottle to drink and nobody was infected.
We had 99 television channels, Dolby-surround sound, phones, computers and the Internet, we will have some pleasure in playing spin the bottle or on that of truth.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned to grow with it.
You're one of ours? Congratulations
