I don't know about everyone else but I miss the 80's. The 80's was a fun time for me.
I graduated Forestville Sr High in '84 and joined the Army four days later. The music was the best and is still played in my truck's CD player every time I ride. My two teenage kids hate riding with me. They can't believe their dad use to be a breakdancer....yes, I was a breakdancer. I'd kill myself now trying to do any of that.
I know, sounds lame but I was having a good time. I even owned a couple of pair of parachute pants. Y'all remember those?
The Army sent me to Germany for my first two years. I was in the Infantry and when I graduated Basic and AIT, I had $8,000 in my pocket. Don't have anything to show for it but I can tell some great stories. I stayed drunk for most of those two years. I've been to the real Octoberfest in Munich, I can always remember getting there but can never remember leaving. Dancing on top of the fest tables with the Germans, and the liter mugs of beer...WOO-HOO!!!
When I got back to the states I tried the table dancing thing only to find myself being thrown out of the club by the seat of my pants. I met my wife of twenty years this July and things only got better. The Redskins won Superbowl XXII...Hail to the Redskins!!!!!
I re=enlisted and went back to Germany with my wife and we finished up the decade with the birth of my daughter. it was a really good time for me. I would like to hear some of your memories of the 80's.
