Bringing in the new year happy 2008!

So I was at the bookstore the other day and I was looking around and found a cool book. So me being me, I bought it = ) (cmon it was about the 80s and the toys and games I play w/...I had too)
Anyways, anyone who knows me always knows that I think the decade of the 80s was totally awesome because i was born in 80 and I feel that so many important changes happened during that time for society and I was lucky enough to grow up in the middle of it. Music was crazy, movies were awesome, people were exploring new realms that had never been explored before such as computer graphics, cellphones, creation of better toys, etc etc and which would lead into the 90s w/ internet etc. To me the 80s have always been an exciting time....weird, but exciting..I usually find myself laughing at the outrageous styles and the big bangs girls had....like my sister, lol...I love you Kell! don't get offended please. So anyways, I just finished reading the book and it was such a good and fun book to read. I love reading about the old games, and toys, etc that I used to play with friends and family. It's certainly endearing and meaningful. I still find myself listening to 80s music because of it's awesome keyboards and just the creation of the music as a whole (there are so many sounds mixed into each song and people were experimenting w/ new technology as well in music)! Who doesn't know Huey lewis and the News or Genesis or Phil Collins, Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode, Vanilla Ice or people such as Michael Jackson and Twisted sister....ok we can do without twisted sister, lol, but in all seriousness....who could say that the movies like The Goonies, Transformers, etc etc. were bad movies? No one I know. Well, maybe Lorena doesn't like the Transformers, but she's the exception ;P I remember crying when they killed optimus prime in the Transformers movie....they killed the main character...what movie did that at the time? None that I knew of.

I just remember so many great times. I would go to the mall with my mom and she would drop me off at Aladdin's Castle. The best arcade at the time, lol. Now there are no arcades = ( I eventually hope to open my own arcade one day w/ a bookstore and a store like starbucks attached to it. I will call it Cafe 80s (what's that from? Anyone, if you know...you just might like an 80s movie). But I think it would be cool to have a place like that. I've never seen one.

I'm sure if you made it this far, my blog might be somewhat entertaining so I though you should know that as I type this i'm watching Big Trouble in Little China and working on my .mel script for school and eating yogurt, and i'm as happy as can be, lol. These movies are so great and I feel like a lot of the newer movies that are coming out have been letting me down. I feel that they are putting so much stuff in the movie that the simple storylines and such are getting lost...either that or it could just be the movies i'm watching, lol. There was a good one recently..."Juno" I would suggest that to anyone.

My thoughts on the decade of 2000. I think the decade of 2000 is who can make something better which is good but not new, I mean the technological leaps and bounds that are being made every 5-6 months is amazing! But at times, its seems to me that it's like well we already have this stuff, let's just keep adding things onto it. So you buy a top of the line laptop for 2500 - 5k$ and then in 6 months it's outdated and you have to upgrade to play even the latest greatest games. As far as music goes, I feel that hip hop has been popular for the 2k decade. It's all about over-abusing hip hop to the point its not hip hop anymore, but garbage rapping about the stupidest things that I could create in the matter of a minute...I could just walk down the street and rap about what i'm wearing and how i'm walking and how cool i am for walking down the street....but who wants to hear that? not me!! What happened to the expiremental hip hop from the 80s? or the good gangsta' rap of the 90s? now its just about rapping about how much money you have and your image not talent....) Another thing I noticed that IS cool about this decade is that they are coming back w/ a lot of the 80s things, like toys, etc.

Although there are many changes in the past 5-6 years I think there should be something soon that will catapult us into a different age like futuristic cars, etc. We are already starting. I'm excited to see where things will go in 2010-2020.
I apologize to anyone who reads this and gets confused...i tend to type free flow and just let things out as they come to my head.
So I guess another thing I just realized too is that I'm almost 30......CRAZY! I don't feel like i'm 27 and I certainly don't act like i'm 27. I'm not disappointed in my silly attitude because that's just me, but I always think it's funny when I tell people i'm 27 and they're really surprised...they think i'm 21. Thanks! I remember when I was 16 being told I looked like I was 21 which I was proud of then too! Funny how things reverse. I'm still keeping my youthful looks....maybe its due to me always laughing...who knows! As stressful as being away from friends, family and loved ones while going to Full Sail, I still find time to laugh and goof around, either just making myself laugh while working on my projects (most likely because I have gone crazy from staring at the screen for so long) or just enjoying the company of my friends.

So I guess I will rap this up since the movie finished and I have to find another 80s movie to put in...maybe i'll watch the Wizard or TMNT. I hope that you enjoyed reading this somewhat and I will be posting some pics and such online soon. My schedule has been crazy this month and it's a lot of work...plus i've been procrastinating too which doesn't help, but I should be good to go for tomorrow = ) When i'm done w/ the class i'll post a screen shot of my duck and show you the amount of code it takes to create such a simple little duck. its crazy!

Well I hope everyone has a good day, don't be afraid to chat with me online or call whenever, if I don't answer, please leave a message. Take Care
