Put Love First and Make It Last

Haha just kidding. Love is stupid.

Anyway, I was just sitting around Bob's house waiting on him to finish taking a shower so we could go to Beau's house for men's Bible study and I thought that I would do well to write a blog. So now I am writing a cute little post.

Everybody on The Facebook seems pretty concerned about their grades, so I just thought maybe you would care to know about mine. You know, speaking of almost everybody I know, almost everybody I know is super concerned about grades, which isn't surprising because almost everybody I know is either in the Honors Program at RSU or is some kind of genius who goes to TU for smart-related stuff. I, personally, never worry about grades because, like almost everybody I know, I tend to make fairly decent ones. I did manage to get two B's in courses in which I thought I would get A's, but, as I was saying, I don't ever worry because (remember my life's creed?) things work out for me. So now you all know that I made GPA.

I half wondered if I should make this part about my grades public knowledge, but then I remembered that I should. That 20-page paper that was wearing me down got finished a full three hours before it was due, whereupon I turned it in and--wouldn't you know it?--I got an A in the class. Aw yiss. Things work out for me. Even if I procrastinate until the day before something so monumental is due to work on it.

So anyways, you wanna know what was awesome? (And you know I don't just throw that word around) The 19 stinkin' 80's. I <3 them very much. I also like the early 1990's, which are pretty similar. You get into stuff like the Ninja Turtles and The Fresh Prince around this time. The 80's were a magical time filled with many wondrous and magical things that could only have been conceived in that time. Technology was on the way up and so was creativity; BAM! you get Back to the Future. I could spend many years and devote an entire new blog to the 80's, or even just the music or movies, or the best combination of the two man has ever seen: 80's music videos, but I won't. Although it WOULD probably be a masterpiece of Bloggery... Anyway, I will just discuss a very limited number of things that I do love about the 80's that comes to the top of my head.

Yeah, that's right; Uncle Jesse.

Mullets. Men--and women, for that matter--could roam freely about, proudly sporting huge beautiful mullets without any fear of condemnation; women could expect sincere compliments and men could anticipate women lining up around the block just to touch them. (The mullets, I mean...)

By the way, he looked so much better with that beast growin' out of his head than he does now with his average sexy-man haircut...

They could mess you up so bad.
That is the Ninja way.

NINJAS. I love them! I love all the Ninja children in the whole world! In case you did not know, these are the 3 Ninjas, from the hit 1992 movie, 3 Ninjas. This is one of the most beautiful inspiring movies of all time. (From left to right, Colt, Tum-Tum, and Rocky) I say, watch it.

The 80's... Sigh...

Speaking of awesome children... This fine gentleman needs no introduction, but just so you know, his name is Doogie Howser, M.D. Portrayed, of course, by the ever-incredible Neil Patrick Harris. If the 3 Ninjas don't completely kill you, he could fix you. Men want to be him, and women just want him. He has got it going on.








80's Women.

Madonna

The Bangles

Now, truthfully, do I need to say more? I did leave out Pat Benatar, Stevie Nicks, Nancy and Amy Wilson, Bonnie Tyler, Blondie, and The Go-Go's, but you get the idea. 

As I try to think of more and more awesome things about the 80's that I love, I am beginning to realize that the list may actually be endless. I cannot even begin to say how highly I regard the music videos. Some say that they destroyed real music, but I say it was worth it. I also say that it isn't true. After all, we've still got GREAT musical treasures like Billy Joel running around. 

I want you all to realize that there are sooooo sooooo many more great things that I have not mentioned, but I will leave you with this one that I refuse to leave out:

The greatest 40th President EVER. Possibly the greatest President since Washington. 

As you can see, love is what makes the world go 'round. I think that was where I was headed with this post anyway. I dunno. Sometimes my head thinks of random weird things, and sometimes it seems like I have had a stroke... Of brilliance! Or I am at least reminded of something, or someone brilliant, such as Ronald Wilson Reagan. The real focus of this post, I should say, was how important, and legendary, the 80's were. In America, at least. And after all, isn't America all that matters? I'll tell you; it is. I love America, and I love the 80's. Man, I am all over the place... I know that according to the blog site, this was published sometime after 2:00, but all of these posts are actually published two hours after it says that they were. Just so you know. That is a large contribution to the fact that they make very little sense and are riddled with mistakes, grammatical and otherwise. Now you know, and now you have read probably my longest post. That is, if you don't include Andrew Jolly's posts. They were kinda long. Plus also, I started this while Bob was in the shower and got about to where I started talkin' about the 80's before we had to leave.  I decided to finish it sometime around 3:30 and have since then been piddling around writing on it. Now it is time to post it and stop typing everything that come to my head.
