In The 1990's Born And Raised

On the playground is where I spent most of my days.

In The 1990's Born And Raised

You know you were born in the '90s if you share these memories from your childhood:

1) TV Shows

Cartoons, actual acting, PBS, Disney, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and more. Today’s shows have nothing on what we grew up watching. Now that was some good TV.

2) Music

Your school's talent or variety show always had, at least, one Britney song, and choosing whether Backstreet Boys or NSYNC were better was extremely overwhelming. Green Day, Destinys Child, Whitney Houston and more.

3) Fashion

Scrunchies were either in a girl's hair or on her wrist. You couldn't wait for spring to wear one of your colored jelly sandals, and jean overalls on kids were equatable to jean jackets on teens. If you wore butterfly clips in your hair, there were at least 3.

4) Toys

Keeping a Tamagotchi alive was so stressful and your Furby going off in the middle of the night was always so scary. When HitClips came out, you were ready to toss your old CD player away, until you remembered the clips only played about one minute of the song.

5) School

When the school store was open, it was one of the most exciting days. Squishy grippers, layered pencils, erasers, and more. Gym class was everyone's favorite, especially when the parachute was brought out. Don't forget you weren't cool unless your crayon box was a 96 count with a sharpener in the back.

6) Technology

Ah, back then you thought it was awesome having your own house phone in your bedroom. Cell phones resembled little bricks and the pictures you took on cameras were developed at your local grocery store. Having to wait for your VHS to rewind was annoying and when your CD player couldn't play a song because the disc was scratched was extremely frustrating. Dial up internet was popular and setting your AIM away message as "out, txt me" was your way of feeling popular.

7) Food and Drinks

Let's start with who thought that green and purple ketchup would be appealing? Wonder Balls were exciting and any sort of ice cream or candy that had to be pushed out of its wrapper was so much fun. Fun drinks and candies were always the best part of being a kid.

Forever funny memories, forever cherishable ones. Here's to you 90's kids!

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
