As I was driving to a play date yesterday I passed a gas station and parked next to a gas pump was a 1980's style Trans Am. It was green and kept in perfect condition. And suddenly I was aware that I could hear Pat Benetar playing somewhere in the background and I had to adjust the sideways pony tail on my head by spraying it with a shot of Aqua Net. I was transported back in time. The feeling of nostalgia was so strong that I swear I reached down and my boobs were under my chin. It was like the car was some kind of visual time travel mechanism that sent me back to 1988.
Then I realized that it was just the XM radio playing the hits of the 80's and came back to reality. I looked in the rear view mirror and counted the kids. One, two, three. And then I checked my boobs and sure enough, there they were dangling between my legs. Indeed, I was back in 2008.
I get that same "reminisce" feeling when I go to bowling alleys. The eighties just reminds me of going bowling... I don't know why. Also, if you go bowling now, all they play is eighties music when you are there, and it's really good reminiscent eighties that they play like "you rock me all night long" and songs like that...I really appreciate this post because the 80's are one of my favorite topics to discuss! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteIt's so funny to how everything from the 80's is making a comeback - from TV to Movies even some of the boys hair-do's (especially the skaters)- I love the 80's and anytime I can get warped back there I'd love too - Wanna come along for the ride? We can rock out to Culture Club and Cyndi Lauper!
