Nostalgia is the attempt to find comfort from the past, that a) our parent/s wouldn’t let us watch or experience, b) were to busy with other more important  stuff to do or  see at the time, c) watched hyped up on jolt cola or other substances so we never really got to see how good or bad it was in the first place, d) don’t remember seeing or doing due to the concussion from not wearing the nonexistent seat belt, e) saw it but in a theater so full of cigarette smoke, it was like seeing through a thick fog, or f) only experienced or heard about from our older sibling/s or friends. Now leave me alone if I find 25 more cents in malo cups coupons, I can send them in with my green stamps, for that limited addition Cocoa Puff code ring.
