Memories from the 80s

He had chronic debilitating migraines that had nothing to do with it.

 

oh there's always hope, in diversity being the nature of reality.
but the shrub shure tried to out do raygun in screwing the pup.

they both snatched defeat from the jaws of otherwise victory for world peace, love and mutual understanding.

 

I was born in '83, thus being very little for the rest of the decade. Let's see... there weren't strict seat belt laws, so I remember mom holding me in her lap in the front seat and since we had a station wagon with a big cargo area in back, that became a kids' playroom on wheels. I only remember a couple times in later childhood my sister yelling at me and my nephew, "Lay down, there's a cop driving by and you don't have belts on!" The first computer I ever used in '87 or '88 had a blue screen with white letters and by the time I got to school, we had early Apple Macintosh machines. Johnny Carson was still on the Tonight Show, Nickelodeon ran Pinwheel in the morning before Nick Jr. was created. I practiced reading by looking at the credits at the beginning and end of music videos on MTV. Before I had a Nintendo, I had this educational thing with a keyboard called Socrates. My nephew and I loved TMNT in '87! My dad was at the World Series in October of '89 when the earthquake hit and I remember my birthday plans being delayed. I grew up with Raffi and Nancy Cassidy tapes and saw Sharon, Lois & Bram's Elephant Show live in concert. Wow! I remember more about the '80's than I thought!

 

you know the main thing i remember about the 80s was being dissapointed the 70s had ended. the only good thing unique to the 80s was personal computers getting powerful and cheap.

hard for me to remember or connect with, that 30 somethings now, were born that recently. ragun got elected. mt saint hellings blew up.

well i went to some good science fiction conventions in portland and seattle. that and the computer made the 80s not a complete loss.

the 60s were my teen years and the 70s my 20s. so yah. if you don't have it going on by the time you're in your 30s, and i didn't, so there you are.
