Ever get your thoughts stuck in the middle of decade? I'm currently going through/suffering an amazing wave of 80s nostalgia. Maybe it's because I keep seeing icons of my youth in pop culture today. Transformers symbols on tshirts at Hot Topic. G.I. Joe comic books restarted. The big Spider-Man movie. Top video hits of the 80s on VH1. Maybe I'm not the only one.

The thing that gets me is that I had never really been one to think, "Gosh, the 80s were wonderful. I think I'll stay in that time frame forever". In fact I had prided myself that I hadn't. Maybe it's because I turned 29 a few days ago. A lot of "where have I been" has been going on in my head. Don't get me wrong - I'm not wishing that I could go back and change things. I really love the way my life has turned out so far. I've had ups and downs - but I'm in a really good spot now.

Maybe I should just enjoy the fact that I can enjoy the good things of the 80s again for a little while without being "dated". But if I start singing "Ice Ice Baby" and wearing parachute pants - somebody lock me up for my own good!
