I was an 80\'s and 90\'s child. Sometimes a song can bring you back to those times, or a movie. What ae the things that bring you back and the things you remember like it was yesterday.

These are the things that come to mind....


Rubix cube, atari ( I know it came out in 72 but we played it alot when I was a child). regular nintendo, Teased bangs, crimping irons, rolled up jeans, skating rinks, jelly shoes, pepsi clear, cry babies candy, pop rocks, hair bands, the black Michael Jackson, fast times at ridgemont high, etc. It warms my heart to think of it so lets take a trip back in time and remember the good times instead of the bad. Its good for the soul.

I have very little memory of my "era".....it was not a good time for me at all. I just posted a journal about the 70\'s where my journey to wellness began....I remember alot of songs from that era because I absorbed myself with them to escape. I cherish more my life now, I guess.

Not trying to be a downer, it is just the facts for me. Maybe in several years I can look back to these happier times and have lots of memories of those small things. heh?

Thats when it was exciting. Stone washed jeans were the thing then, terminator was the bomb and Arnold was hot, and Patrick Swayze was the dream man lol
