1984 called. They want their fashion back. And seriously, it was an idiotic look then and it’s just insanely idiotic now because we know better. So knock it off.
Yes everyone, we went to The River tonight for dinner at Baja Fresh. And what an experience it was. Food that was a little sub standard, with an atmosphere of 13-15 year-old kids trying to bum cigarettes from 17 year olds.
I don’t remember being a teenager, but there are pictures to prove that I was, so it must be true. But wow, I didn’t remember how self absorbed you all could be. The only good thing about that of course is that while standing right next to you I can ridicule you all I want and you don’t even know.
So, this is supposed to be about Abby and her Daddy and the crazy adventures we get into. What gives? Well, I’m writing this post for two reasons:
- To remember that teenagers have always and will always be like this, so when you’re like this hopefully I’ll remember that it really is ‘Only a phase’
- When you are 13-15 years old the fashion of the times (if I’m doing the right math) will be the mid to late 90s. This is something I can live with. I dig flannel. I even owned flannel.
So internets … I hope this fully explains the rant. Oh, and yeah,
“Hey!”
“You kids!”
“Get off my lawn!”

Well, they say 30 is the new 20. You know what that means? If you have been to a dance club lately they look exactly like those kids you saw at baja fresh except a little more or less awkward.
And for the record, I don’t think you wore flannel. At least not in the “cool” way. And our fashion sense, as a generation, sucked too. I mean Grunge? Its like a bunch of smelly hippies with harder rock. And don’t even get me going on what was cool when we were in junior high……
