In the winter of 2019 I traveled to the rotten old shed that served as my storage unit on a remote piece of property in the Olympic Peninsula region of Washington State. I went there to search for one of my old high school binders so that I could film a flip-through video for KZfaq.
While I was searching through the dilapidated mess, I came across a long forgotten wooden box filled with some of my old art, Star Wars collectibles, music collectibles from the 80’s hair metal era and the 90s grunge rock era, high school notebooks and binders, letters and more.
In this video I will take you on a tour of this long lost box of memories with backstories, photos and video clips from the time!

Am I the only one who gets the nostalgic feeling so strong sometimes it actually hurts? I so wish I had hung on to more things from my childhood to pass on to my kid. Ironically, she adores the 90’s and I could have had so much cool vintage stuff to give her.

It’s bizarre, somehow kids in Washington state in the 80’s seemed to have rare access to video cameras (I’ve seen multiple videos on KZfaq from different people who were teens in the 80’s and they’re all from Washington). I’m 42, grew up in Columbus, Ohio. NO ONE had video cameras when I was young. Not even adults, let alone teens. Maybe it’s just the difference in wealth, as I grew up in poverty. Regardless, I’m glad you and other kids somehow made videos back then because it’s very nostalgic. Also, my initials are JLR. So that is a great song.

I took it with me everywhere. Got footage of us goofing off, partying, cruising, going to the record store, all kinds of stuff! I only have a couple of the tapes left, last time I saw them was in 1990 when I put them in the trunk of a girl's car and never saw them again.

Only in these last 200 years since the industrial revolution have we advanced so quickly and drastically in technology at least, and only in the last 20 years has the internet made the reality altering impacts that it has, largely socially. All time periods that one could have been born into and existed in would have had there pros and cons like anything, simply existing as a human being with conscious thought is a privilege no matter the circumstance. I am appreciative and grateful to have been born in 2005 mainly because of the person i am, my environment, family, genetics, mental state, and geographic/political location ( USA , Michigan ) allow me to use the tools that i have access too like the internet and other technologies, not only that but the knowledge that mankind has obtained. We have the collective knowledge of humanity at our finger tips, i like to think about aspects of life with a philosophical approach and i owe that to google, reddit, quora, and youtube, without these platforms i wouldn't know of half the things i do now and im incredibly grateful. This being said i acknowledge and recognize that the internet and social media have had extremely detrimental impacts on the younger and even the older generations that have been granted access due to the country and situation they were born into. We can not necessarily make a statement that the internet and social media are inherently bad, for both of those things can be used for greatness and good or corruption and bad, its up to the human using them for thats all the internet is, another tool made by man.

Oh wow, fun times, Len! It seems you had a most epic life back in the day! Loved the story about the JLR guy. You have some incredible artistic talent as well. Back in the early 90s, some friends and I also had some crazy "memes" from driving around in the country at night, making up stories about old barns and things. Also, take hella good care of those Star Wars figures. You have a gold mine with those!

So great, reminds me of the dumb stuff we used to do back then. We also did the hand drawn memes, some were such classics 🤣 Your transcriptions of the JLR tape sounded so funny. I swear, we had so much more fun back then. I can't imagine taking time for any of this stuff now, and it's a shame. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Your channel is a beautiful time machine! It shows exactly how back then things were completely different, yet still the same! Makes me appreciate that I can still witness and experience what it was like to live in that time period even though it was before my time. Thank you for sharing all of these awesome memories with us!

Its great you kept all that stuff. I am around the same age as you, most of my childhood/teen treasures are long gone. As i would get older and outgrow things my parents or i would either give them away or they would hit the trash. Alot of my old concert shirts either went to Goodwill when i outgrew them. I find myself now scrounging Ebay looking to replace things i once treasured.

This channel needs to be documented in the national archives brother! I’m not kidding your documentation of a teen in the eighties is unlike anything I’ve ever seen and it’s better than any eighties movie ever made! Even the ones made in the eighties! This shit is the real deal!!! Get goosebumps and certain smells start hitting my nostrils man the nostalgia factor in this one video is insane!!! Even the porno pics from the ladies, man i remember it all!!! You did the one thing all is eighties kids were mostly unfortunate to never do and that is document and save everything man! My biggest regret is not using the video recorder we had more often in the eighties and nineties! God bless you man you’re a KZfaq treasure bro…

Damn this is incredible, your editing is perfect. I'm so jealous, you lived the childhood I dreamt about. I was born 1988 , parents divorced, my dad ended marrying my super strict Jehovah Witness stepmom and they raised us with zero tolerance for fun and self expression. It was a very long 16 yrs (the age I moved out of their house because I refused to get a haircut....it was already buzzed, no long hair allowed in JW) Anyway , I had to hide all my love for Korn,White Zombie, Batman and cool shit.

I really enjoyed your video. I graduated high school in 1982 and share many of the same memories as you do. I was also a metalhead and bought a guitar but never learned how to play it. History is now repeating itself as my 15-year-old son who loves things from the 70s 80s and 90s recently purchased a guitar and amp is intent on learning how to play metal music he is also a very talented artist as I am. Love the history showcase of your artwork I hope you are still a practicing artist.
