    I guess I’m “this old”? I remember watching the Berlin wall get smashed on TV, and the collapse of the soviet Union a year or two later. I was a Lil kid in the U.S, so both events meant fuck all to me. I was busy being awesome in my MC Hammer parachute pants.

      I was really confused why my mom was crying because people were breaking a wall down.

      And then Knight Rider was there for some reason.
