Right on, the 80's were a great time to be alive, and a great time to be a kid. Riding bikes and skateboards with my pack of friends all over town, building ramps and halfpipes. Saturday cartoons were certainly awesome, I had all the action figures. Nintendo was the best, I still remember going to Toy's R Us to get mine, it was magical. Going to the little chinese shop to rent games, I'll never forget the smell of that place. Getting 5 bucks from my parents and going to the arcade, or getting 5 or 6 bucks and going to the firework stand and getting 3 grosses of bottle rockets, and having a bottle rocket war with the neighborhood kids, Oh man the memories! The music, MTV, my sisters listening to Def Leppard as they poofed their hair up in the front in preparation to go to the Friday night High school football game, hearing the band play and the crowd cheer from my yard was awesome. Fishing for crawdads with bolagna, filling up my bucket and then having crawdad fights with my friends. Showbiz pizza parties, being creeped out and having nightmares about the robotic singing animals, Lol. Getting my first Go Kart and riding all around my neighborhood for months until I blew my engine, no complaints or cops called from the neighbors, people actually happy to see a kid out having some fun. My God, I could go on and on, kids these days really have no idea what they're missing.
