Quick stock up on canned goods and bottled water it's 1999!!! Y2K it will be the end
of us!. Oh wait. Remember all that ridiculous frenzy that had computer geeks all over the world laughing hysterically? Ok
seriously, 1999 may not seem that long ago, but let's take a quick drive by and see how much we have easily swept under the
carpet.
Many of you waited in anticipation for the return of Star Wars. Jar Jar Binks?? That was a major let
down. Everyone suddenly thought Regis Philbin was cool and that he could make us all millionaires, Lou Bega was preaching
his Mambo #5 all over town. Christina, Britney, Jessica & Mandy popped out of nowhere using the age old Lolita formula
and bubble gum pop took over the airwaves. Tony Sopranos reigned supreme-he had everyone glued to their television sets every
single Sunday night-the Mafia was back in full effect and we loved it. Another powerhouse had us glued to the set - Mia Hamm
and Brandi Chastain showed us true girl power by winning the World Cup in gritty American sexy style.
Do you see dead
people? Haley Joel Osmand did and Bruce Willis confirmed it. Dr. Atkins told us all to stick to the beef and we too could
shake our lambada like Ricky, Enrique and Mark Anthony. 1999 got millions of kids and adults to fall in love with Harry Potter
- reading was suddenly fun again. '99 also finally graced Susan Lucci with an Emmy after 19 nominations...thank goodness.
But most importantly 1999 was bold enough to give our first hot teen girl on girl kiss...ahhh so cruel but so naughty.
So
all you Matrix fans are you going to take the red pill and see where this rabbit hole goes? Grab your Pokemon, a bowl
of popcorn and settle in on the couch, your in for a fun filled hour of '99 memory lane. Welcome to 1999!
