After watching an
hour of Much Music's 'Back in' I was lead down a path of memories. Brought back
to life by such things as wearing overalls with one strap done up, Madonna's
'Vogue', Parachute Pants, Pretty Woman and even AC/DC's Thunderstruck! I sat there
in awe of just a decade ago; where our thoughts were as fleeting as the
fashions. I couldn't believe how much has changed in such a short period of
time.
A short clip of
Dances with Wolves came on TV and I was instantly taken back to a field trip in
High School. Being from a small town where there was no movie theatre...can you
imagine??
I remember being
in awe of such a place that had to bus it's students an hour and a half away to
watch a movie. The conversations that ensued on the bus were enlightening to
say the least! I can't pinpoint exactly what was said; but I'm sure it had
something to do with Bill liking Patti or something along those lines...
I miss those
carefree days of just talking about well...Nothing! I mean looking back, it was
nothing but at the time 'Boy was it something'. Not having to care about a
mortgage or responsibility; our biggest concern was who would be asking us to
the dance or had we made the cut for the volleyball team. Things that seem so
miniscule now was the world back then; how funny it is to think of the stunts
we pulled...
Remembering the
dances, the parties, the drinking...UGH the drinking! The stupid things that
made us happy and who we are today; I can't help but think back and be overcome
with joy...
I can't say that I
would go back and re-live some of those moments but I will say that they were
good times and I just hope that when you hear Milli Vanelli's 'Blame it on the
Rain' you'll think of your younger days with a smile...just as I have!
