I found out during Mrs. Barton's Spanish II course. I failed that class.<BR/><BR/>4/5/94...Kurt Cobain kills himself on a random Monday a couple months before I finished high school. We found out during Chemistry and for some reason the really religous Mormon kid knew before anyone else.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and if you don't get all warm and fuzzy when Fred goes ahead and gladly shares the Fruity Pebbles with Barney then you have no soul.<BR/><BR/><BR/>drewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715727.post-1154710492279954542006-08-04T12:54:00.000-04:002006-08-04T12:54:00.000-04:00A lot of those seem more like cultural touchstones...A lot of those seem more like cultural touchstones than defining moment. But in terms of enormous things that truly changed my generation:<BR/><BR/>The initial release of Star Wars<BR/>The Challenger Explosion<BR/>The OJ trial (I have to agree with that one)<BR/>The Dot Com Boom (and Bust)<BR/><BR/>Some of these are specific moments.

I was raised on kashi by a Moosewood mom and I'm still mad that I never got to eat this delicious-sounding cereal. Little cookies you can't resist! Sigh.<BR/><BR/>Also sometimes I get the jingle for a short-lived Rice Krispies brand extension called 'Fruity Marshmallow Krispies' stuck in my head. Imagine this sort of having a conga beat: "Fruity marshshmallow KrisPIES! Orange, lemon, rasberry, grape, with lotsa fruit taste!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715727.post-1154669231439661382006-08-04T01:27:00.000-04:002006-08-04T01:27:00.000-04:00Gilooly.
