Guess Who's Back?

I am back!!!  Sorry for the long delay, but I didn't feel like doing the blog for a few reasons.

1. I was super lazy and had nothing to write about.
2. I moved!

So I moved back to my hometown of Vermillion, SD.  The town I grew up at, went to college in, and eventually got burned out on.  And now look at me!  I'm back!  Back as a married man, with experiences of living elsewhere (Sioux Falls and Lincoln...so it's not like I went to South America).

Speaking of Lincoln, quick goodbye to the city I thought I'd never like.  As a non-Husker fan, I went in to the move...let's say not the most excited.  But, what ended up happening was the city became quite the surprise.  There's a lot to do.  The Husker fans weren't that bad (out of town fans are 10x worse).  Tons of concerts, places to eat, a lot of new friends were made.  Most importantly, a lot of big life experiences happened there.  We rescued a dog.  I got engaged.  I worked at the most bipolar job (longest place I've ever worked, oddly, also may do a blog about it someday, but not sure how nice it'll be).  Oh and I got married!

Lucky me!

Now while I will miss Lincoln, I am quite excited to be back in my hometown.  That also got me thinking, what else should come back?  What things need to make a return?  Ecto Cooler is coming back, which because of this blog, I found out a lot of my friends are fellow "Ecto's" (I made that word up, and I will not apologize).

Is there a dude version of this shirt?

So let's go through a list of what needs to come back starting with...

This.... all of this.  Crystal Clear Pepsi needs to come back RIGHT NOW.  Come on!  It's EVERYTHING!!!  - Van Halen

Seriously, let's get this to come back, bring it back sporadically like the McRib!  Surge is back, and people were excited, but guess what?  Surge sucks compared to Crystal Clear Pepsi.  Get this done, bring back Van Haggar even!

You know what else needs to come back?  Rock stars.  Who is the biggest rock star now not over the age of 40?  Seriously.  Who is the lead singer of Imagine Dragons?

Answer: This guy!

Flip phones.  Need to come back in a big way.  I don't even care if it's a smart phone.  I just want to turn off my cell phone like an adult and flip it off!  Well, not in the traditional sense, but you get the gist.

Next is a well known complaint of many, MTV.  But it's not what you think.  What we over glorify is how that channel was awesome back in the day.  They sort of were, but not because of the music videos.  It was because of Rock N Jock!!!

You're welcome, that video up there is the ENTIRE GAME!  Key ingredients, sprinkle in some hosts of your video shows, add in a little actors and rock stars, then BOOM, get the best players of the era and you got yourself a hit show.  Maybe even have Daisy Fuentes come back to host, she's probably aged well....wait...

SHE MARRIED RICHARD MARX!?!?

Wow.  She really married Richard Marx.  Um, next on the list, bring back Richard Marx?  We can use some more catchy, light music in our lives.

Something else we need more of in our lives?  Psychics.  Lady Cleo, I'm looking at you girl.

Someone should call this, let me know what happens.

I wanted my psychics to be paid like they should, by calling an 800 number and giving your credit card information.  None of this tarot reading crap.  Or random people who think they are mediums.
We need you Lady Cleo, you're our only hope.

Sport movies, not as good.  You want to see the '27 Yankees of sports movies?  Look no further than the following:

Rookie of the Year
Little Giants
Ladybugs
The Sandlot

Burn.

Kids today have crap for movies and more options to watch them in.  Get some awesome movies made for the new generation of kids, where they have misadventures, get some hot girl and try some cigs for the first time.

POLITICAL OPINION:  How about have the jerk businessman go back to being a businessman so idiots don't vote for him (if you don't think you're an idiot, you are).

So true.

Baseball needs to be awesome again.  The NFL is starting to get in to overkill zone (I still love it, but...overkill).  The NBA, while having the most talent in history, is super boring to me.  Hockey is fun, but whatevs.  Up until 1994, it would be argued baseball was just as big as football.  How about get back to that?  Only difference of course, listen to the Bryce Harper's, make it a tad more interesting...actually, maybe that's my next blog...for all you baseball fanatics out there.

Quick roll call of other things that should come back:

-Dunkaroos
-Saturday morning cartoons
-Rollerblading being "a thing" (Lincoln, Nebraska has the Roller Skating Museum, I so went to that, you should to!)
-MTV's  Yo Mama (Wilmer needs some work!)
-SNICK
-LA Gear shoes

Well that should do it for tonight.  There's clearly a lot of things that need to be brought back, I can't list them all here because, well I'm lazy and I just moved.  So if you have any to add, feel free!

Thanks for reading,
