I saw this picture and it made me giggle instantly as I pictured MC Hammer in his big ole shimmery pants doing his little "Hammer Shuffle". What is it about the music from the 80's and early 90's that just puts me in a great mood?
I think because the 80's were such a trademark time. They were something special that can never be repeated. It was when I grew up, when I found out who I am and who I wanted to be. It was the period in time when I had to find out the hard way of many things and made me realize that real life was going to happen no matter what.
The 80's were not just about all that though, they were fun, they were daring, they were... well the 80's. They were Izod shirts with the collar up, when we were gagged with a spoon, when we all wanted to be on Star Search, when every girl owned a banana clip, when we all knew how to breakdance and we all wanted to go where everyone knew our name. :)
My son, who is going to be 16, always gives me odd looks or little smirks when I talk about the 80's. He just doesn't understand nor will he ever. I keep trying to tell him that one day he will be telling his kids about this time in his life and they will look at him the same way and everytime I do, he shows me the same look that I gave to my parents when they told me that... I guess everything in life comes around full circle eventually.
Peace,
