I grew up in the late 90s and 2000s, right before a "smart phone" was in everyone hands. abut had alot of older siblings that grew up then. People did more things together. People made friends alot easier and people in general had more character/respect for themselves and others. Surprisingly people also didn't "Turn Up" as much. If you'd sit around drinking and smoking you where looked at as a bum, especially if you did these things by alone. People also went of dates alot more. If you where off work at 5 with nothing to do you maybe you go to a sit down restaurant a get something to eat or go for a drink at the bar and watch the game.
fukk did ppl do for fun in the old days?

Go to other folks houses.
Go to blockbuster.
Watch the big show on TV. Now see this was big because everyone pretty much watched the same thing so you didn't want to miss it.
Hang at the mall
Board games

Go outside and shoot the shyt with neighbors, family friends, play spades, dominoes poker whatever
throw block parties, BBQs, community events just to get people i the neighborhood involved in something
it builds a sense of kinship/community, stronger bonds, etc.
Even with video games and what not, being outside was where it was at
imagine what it would be like to not have access to internet /social media. you'd feel like you was missing out am i right?
well x10 that with real life, when you can hear, smell, and see everything going on right outside the house, and the temptation of wanting to be in the mix just for the experience, not to take a picture of every waking minute of it but to feel and absorb he atmosphere of what's happening in that moment in time. to be complete immersed in culture. Not the figurative , ambiguous "culture" everyone throws around nowadays. but the in-your-face, day to day social economy teeming with all flavors of experiences that's happening all around you.` Actual Culture....
People get up on their soap box about the Crate Challenege, and while it's true some took things too far. it encapsulates the beautiful cocktail of uninhibited fukkery, ingenuity, and sense of community that existed in the time before we outsourced the human experience through a fukking screen. call it ignorant, judge it all the fukk you want but it was what it was, you get hurt here and there, embarass yourself and you dust yourself off and charge it to the game but it was all in the name of fun at least you have an experience to carry with you forever.
that's what it was like before the internet.

Dreams Are Colder Than Death...
video games, house parties, card nights, actually go to the club and dance with PEOPLE OF THE OPPOSITE SEX, talk to people, Saturday's at the mall was lit till security ran you off the premises....it was the greatest time to be coming up as a jit. I developed my parking lot pimping game in that era. When I realized them same broads that went in the club had to come back out, they were already gone off that oil, and weren't ready to call it a night, I never paid to go in spots again. I wouldn't have survived this era
