this is what it was like where i grew up: > spend all day at school planning whether we'd be playing football or baseball and where it was gonna be.  > school let's out, walk a couple miles to where ever we planned to play > bump into some other kids cuz everyone is outside, get them to come too > get to the field, we have too many people for a regular football game so we need to come up with additional rules  > play best game ever, everyone has a blast > time for food, whose house are we going to to play xbox > sun went down time to play manhunt til the neighbors yell at us  wash rinse repeat. growing up in the 90s/early 00's was an endless stream of fun.
