A look back at the 80’s

I am old enough to know that living through the 80’s was a weird time and at the time I thought it was cool.  Was it?  Well, let’s take a stroll down memory lane for a bit.

Miami Vice - TV show with fast cars and hot women.  The acting sucked, the clothes were crazy but for a teen boy, the cars were fast and the chicks were hot.

Swatch watches - This was a funny one to say the least.  The crazy colors and the even more crazy rubber guard that covered the top.  We actually thought we looked cool with these things.

Break dancing - This is a toss up to say the least.  It was fun, parachute pants were the **** and wearing one glove was cool…or was it?!?  Break dancing is still around but the music the dance too is much different…thank god.

MTV - Was actually music television and not reality BS!  “I want my MTV”

Star Wars - No not the movies, the actually Star Wars.  It was a nuke defense that we spent trillions on and never even used.

Roller skating - It was the hip place to be where guys could speed skate to impress and couples skate to get the girl.  Terrible food, the place stuck like sweaty feet but damn we were cool.

Okay, I am going to stop because I am starting to realize that I was not cool but rather I was a fad back then.  Thank god we do not have fads today huh???  Well, I am going back to listen to my iPod and write some more on my other blog site now.
