Things that don't exist anymore, and I have no idea where they went.

You know when something is there, and then you forget about it, and one day it just disappears? And it might even still exist, but because you haven't paid any attention to it in forever, in your mind it's not around anymore and you ignore the fact that your egocentric logic makes absolutely no sense? That's basically how I live my life. I guess the title of this post is misleading, but it sounds better than "Things I forgot about for a really long time and kind of think they might not be around anymore, or they still are and nobody cares about them." Maybe it doesn't, I kind of like that one better. That's the new title, okay?

Netscape

Somewhere in the jumble of Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, and the rest of the browsers out there, Netscape ceased to exist. I don't think that many people used it to begin with anyway, especially with a fugs icon consisting of the 1980s color scheme of teal, black, and white. Plus, I'm pretty sure the 'N' is Times New Roman, and that's as basic as it gets.

Emo kids

This one is kind of hard to prove, because I'm most likely totally wrong. Maybe because I grew out of the age group and I don't notice it anymore, but I'm pretty sure hipsters absorbed emo kids in an attempt to make themselves stronger. Kind of like Strong Guy, but with a mustache and superior music taste. Because nothing says anti-establishment like buying clothes at Hot Topic, right guys?

Wonder Balls

Do you wonder, wonder what's in a Wonder Ball? Let me tell you: chalk candy and I think a sticker or temporary tattoo or something. It wasn't really that great. But when you're a kid, there could be anything in a Wonder Ball, including things that couldn't possibly fit inside one. These things might still be around somewhere, and I think Turkmenistan just got their first shipment last week. The upside? They're lucky enough to have that first Wonder Ball experience, from the crappy chocolate to Disney character-covered box. The downside? I think the last one rolled off the line in 1998, so it'll be a test to see how well chocolate stays preserved inside cardboard and foil.

Nicolas Cage's dignity

It's scary to think that this guy was once a somewhat well-respected actor. Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly dislike him, and some of his movies are entertaining enough to sit through at least halfway; but it would be somewhat ridiculous, and quite a stretch, to say that any of his latest roles have been worthy of accolade. The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Astro Boy, G-Force, Knowing, Ghost Rider, The Wicker Man...the list truly does go on. His slow descent into what is seemingly madness is reflected best in the insanity that has become his hair, ranging between unwashed and unkempt, the butthead, and the most unflattering of them all, something that makes Rihanna's forehead look small. And that's no easy task.

Eiffel 65

Just kidding, nobody misses them. Also, I just realized the second-to-last sentence in the Nicolas Cage section ended in rhyme. I never cease to amaze myself.
