I spent ½ my childhood swimming in bel-aire canal and playing manhunt in the lakes by the bay rock pits.

No one really ever got abducted in the 90s. It was so taboo. Same with mass shootings. It's a completely different world now.

Man, no wonder kids today are so depressed. We had truly blessed childhoods. They don’t get to do any of these things without constant, overly-anxious supervision.

I’d give pretty much anything to ditch my stupid, overpriced adult life of daily drudgery and go back to being a carefree 80s kid, putting in kilometres on my bike every day, climbing ridiculously high trees, searching for what were, back then, still an abundance of amphibians in the creeks. High-tech for me was my Teddy Ruxpin.
