Calling all children of the 80s! I was 5 in 1980 and I am watching the VH-1 overplayed "I love the 80s" but i swear I see this stuff and it makes me depressed-I so yearn to be back in the early 80s again--no cares in the world, space invaders, "V" the mini-series, birth of the 1st commercial Madonna album, E.T., Pac-Man, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Thompson twins, Duran Duran, Flashdance, Facts of Life, MTV with NINA BLACKWOOD AND ALAN HUNTER!! I could go on and on...I miss those days and want to be a child again... Let the rain come down...17 days.... | |

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
Always look forward, don't look back. Otherwise, you'll get sooo depressed. | |

Yep, those were the days...
If I went back in time as the person I am today I´m not sure if I would fit in in the 80´s anymore though. Í don´t wear white jeans or pink t-shirts, I don´t think Reagan´s and Gorbatjov´s friendship is the best thing that´s happened in world politics, I can now solve Rubick´s cube instead of take out my aggression on it and take it apart with a knife, I now feel like puking when I see American "high school sex comedies" and I don´t think the world would perish if Michael jackson never made an album again. But it was all good back then. | |

I wear my sunglasses at night
I saw Return of the Jedi 6 times in the theaters! I kept telling everyone, "this is a great movie, you should see it. Wanna see it? I'll go with you!" I had a MAJOR crush on Luke Skywalker. I was all into He-Man and She-Ra too. I had colecovision, with the atari attachment. I had the E.T. game, Ms Pac Man, The Smurfs and Mousetrap. | |
