Old School Super Nintendo

Is the best!!!!!  We pulled out the Super Nintendo, because its AWESOME!!!!  This new technology with a stick that moves up and down left to right is too complicated for me.  I want to be able to bend down behind a white wall and hide behind stuff.  I want to be able to be a frog and jump even if I'm on land. 

Don't get me wrong....Ive had a PS2 since I was in high school.  Its okay, but my heart will always be a Super Nintendo girl.  Yes, I had the original, but my childhood consisted of the wonderful SN!!!

 Even this game....which came out the year we were born.....is awesome!!

 An old school remote......a fire.....on a cold night....is where its at!!

As I played the other night, I realized we had the best childhood growing up.  Yes, I know that everyone thinks that their time of era was the best or more wholesome or enjoyable, but I honestly feel like I can say that we were the last generation before total hell broke loose.  What I mean by that......cell phones.  We still went out and played and was grounded from TV or from going outside.  It was having our own phone numbers in our room, because that just made you even more cool!!! (tho I never did)  It was boy bands and famous singers that somehow still kept your innocence at bay.  Yes we talked back at our parents, but we also were afraid of them.  This was before games were rated from violence or even sexual exploitation.  Where TV didn't have cuss words of any kind or half naked people. 

I have to say kids these days struggle more, but I feel like alot has to do with the world.  The world expects these certain things and they keep changing everything trying to "fix" everyone, but little do they realize that not everyone is the same.  More grown ups not getting married and having broken families, which can put so much stress on a child and mentally mess them up.  More kids lashing out because there is more access to bullying and not feeling wanted or loved.  More adults working their tails off to support and the kids doing things they shouldn't, because of lack of supervision.  I'm not blaming anyone.....there are the parents that try with everything they have.  I see kids who reach out for love or have insecurity and just want to be reminded of that they have plenty of love and is beautiful. 

I know that there has always been alot of these problems, but looking now from 10+ years ago, to me has increased so much.  We wonder why kids do what they do or we question why adults and parents do what they do.  This world is corrupt and messed up, its so evil and its not turning towards God.

Don't get me wrong....I was raised by a single mother who never got married.  I fall into that category, but I can tell you, that I was blessed with my grandfather who helped raise me and I did have that fatherly figure in my life.  I was also raised very sheltered where God was the main focus.  It wasn't until I was close to 20 when I realized how evil this world actually is.  It took me almost 25 when I realized how easily it is to fall into living like this world.  I'm not perfect by any means, but I know with each and everyones help, we can slowly help or be an influence on someone who may need it.
