80s Flashbacks

March 30, 2008 - Sunday

Current mood: nostalgic
Category: Music

In a few weeks I get to go see Def Leppard, Styxx and REO Speedwagon in concert. My buddy Matt and I are going. I will be playing 80s music on my profile, off and on, to gear up. I’m having 80s flashbacks already!

There are a number of things I have to do to get ready so I’m making a list. So far I know I need to make sure I have enough time to practice making my hair big... teasing is not as easy as it looks. I’ll have to get online and see if I can find some bright blue eye shadow, bright pink blush and I can probably scrape up some black eyeliner from my own stash of makeup. Then I should probably review some of my pictures from back then so I can make sure I remember how to do everything. Oh, I should watch some 80s flicks to make sure I remember how to dance. I should also run to Costco and see if I can buy some industrial-sized Aqua Net cause I would hate for my big hair to go limp in the middle of the concert. (I personally believe that if there really is an issue with the ozone it was caused by the over usage of hairspray during the 80s.) That’s what I’ve got so far... can you think of anything else?

I was lamenting my lack of spring break fun but no more... I will HAVE my fun... in one night... in one epic concert... Justice has prevailed!

I wish Myspace had a mood/emoticon for "Big Haired."

... now where did I leave my parachute pants?

I Ain't Skeered... Ain't Afeered a Nuthin'!

November 7, 2006 - Tuesday I aint skeered...aint afeered a nuthin! Current mood: confused Category: Life I've got some serious issues... I'm the Cowardly Lion, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Ugly Betty all rolled into one. How can one person be such a wimp in some areas, a totally confident terminator in other areas and such a sweet and humble mix in still other areas? Where does this come from? It's not multiple personality disorder (despite what some of you might think). I'm not Sybil; I'm not losing time and blacking out and taking on other personas...even though I do enjoy a good game of pretend now and then...with accents. I often joke about being my own conundrum; my own anomaly, but sometimes it's not really ...

A rainbow colored, abscessed, monster of a thing.

Originally started October 2018. Gosh, I've needed to write for such a long time. I can't even get into journaling for some reason. I don't even care if anyone reads this, that's not the point... I just need to talk - unhindered and unfettered - talk. Y'know how when you get a splinter under your fingernail and you can see the thing so you know it's there? So you get your extraction tools: fingernail clippers, tweezers, maybe a sewing needle or push pin, if you're my dad you get a pocket knife... if you're over 35 you get your reading glasses... you get peroxide or rubbing alcohol... everything you need and then you go in for minor surgery. You poke around and scrape the underside of the nail. You pull at something dark and then realize it's just dirt. You pick at it a little too hard and maybe it bleeds a little. Then finally you pull the smallest of little slivers out and think, "Yes! I got it." You look closely at the shard of wood a...

On Again Off Again

August 23, 2007 - Thursday On Again Off Again Current mood: tired Category: Life If I believed in astrology I would make some kind of comment about how today the moon must have been in the 6th house and Saturn was surely aligning with Pluto because why else would my day have felt so "off" and ended up with me in tears? After all, any true music proficionado would know that an ON day would consist of the moon being in the SEVENTH house and JUPITER aligning with MARS... A.K.A. the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius. I do not, however, believe in astrology. I am most certainly a fan of the 5th Dimension (Marilyn McCoo was so foxy back in the day!) but I'm not a fan of crediting or blaming my "off" days on the alignment...
