Not the decade of the 80's of course. That would be stupid since I lived just barely 4 semi-conscious years of that glorious decade. I'm talking about the temperature. We've already started to cool down to a mean 60-something degrees while the nights have now reached freezing conditions. Now I have to wear a jacket and prepare for cold weather again. I hate that. One of my favorite parts about Summer is that you don't have to worry about that kind of crap. You just simply walk out the door with whatever you're wearing. There is no confusion or worries about getting cold.
On the flip side, I do kind of wish I had spent more time in the 80's decade. So many great things happened in the 80's. I'm severely conflicted on what age group I would have liked to have enjoyed the 80's in. If I was kid. Let's say maybe 5 by 1980, I could reap the benefits of all those sweet 80's cartoons. So many classics were birthed in that time period. I have often wished that I was a kid when those were around. I could just picture myself enjoying the sweet embrace of those glorious TV programs, being so content. Then by the time I hit high school, I could enjoy the turbulent grungy 90's rock scene. Not mention I could enjoy the original Nintendo. That was some cool shit back then. It still is cool.
Yeah. That would be the sweet ticket.
But then what if I wanted to enjoy the 80's while in high school like my dad did. I would be old enough to enjoy all the rock classics of the time. I could enjoy having a mullet without scrutiny. I could enjoy eating pizza at an actual pizza parlor. I could enjoy arcades and 80's movies that had little original thought to them. Damn, what a sweet time to be alive.
Being an adult in the 80's would have sucked. you would see all these crazy "hip" things changing the world you knew and loved. Video games, tv shows with more ethnically diverse characters. That would be some scary shit if you grew up in the 60's and 70's.
I digress.
The point is, I miss the warm weather already and it's only the beginning of October. That's some bad ju-ju. Bad fuckin' ju-ju.
