The 80's rocked!!

Wow, I just loved growing up in the 80's! One morning I got up to take my daughter to school, and as usual she turned the radio on to listen to her favorite tunes. She finally turned the dial on 107.3(CC,Texas)...which is 80's music. I just can't help it, when I hear a song from that time all these memories come flooding over me. "She's a maniac, She works hard for her money, I wear my sunglasses at night, amoung others!

In the earlier 80's I was just a teenager trying to find where I fit in. I was usually a follower. I got my first boyfriend at 14 and grew up in a lot of foster homes. No matter what though I listened to those songs, they meant something to me. It's so retarded but those songs were perfect if you had a boyfriend or girlfriend....some songs just seemed to say something about the relationship you were in. There was smoking weed, going to the movies, going to the pool hall, walking the main street with your guy, hanging with your friends anyplace you could find, even driving with teen strangers but you knew you could trust them, sneaking out at night to get drunk and having to go to school the next day even though you didn't make it until last period...but hey..you made it!!!

When I hear a song I can remember having this boyfriend(hubby now), and I had his coat...I remember going to bed with it on and smelling his cologne on it....or laying there crying because this certain song reminded me of him. I know it's corney but that was thing back then. I hear a song now, I can see myself and what I was doing at the time or what boyfriend I had back then, which I only had 6, well 3 were just one dayers...haha, I went out with one time, 1 I really had a crush on and thought he was my everything...(CHEATER) and then the one I actually married (23yr marriage)!!! Sometimes I wish I could go back in time to the 80's and really enjoy it while I was there, but that time came and went to fast. So I guess it's good we all have memories of our past whether good or bad, but I choose to remember the good like I'm sure you do to. It's just really nice though even though we live in 2009 and we can still turn the radio on and it can take us back in time that we had the most fun!! Rock on 80's!!!
