the eighties

if it's too loud, you're too old.....this is kinda true for me..coz during the 80s(where i think i belong), any kind of music was never too loud for me...i can groove from Madonna's "Like a Virgin"(yeah!really!) to Bon Jovi's "You give Love a Bad Name"or to Guns N Roses' "Sweet Child of Mine" at the maximum volume without flinching, but nowadays, i find clubs & bars too loud and i find my nephew's electric guitar too irritating, it's as if the note would pierce my eardrums then leave me deaf....or is it the kind of music we get to listen to today?..or am i trying to imply that today's music is trash so that i won't be judged as getting older?..Hmmm....makes me wanna walk down memory lane....when there was a boy who promised to love me and only me till death(wow!),when we vowed to be together forever with the sound of Air Supply's "I Can Wait Forever" in the background....which when i am reminisced i wanna puke...which i already buried inside the depths of my mind til now....since the thought of it makes me sick...but that was so cute then...haha...and that's why the music of the 80s is,to me,the greatest there is...twas the time when i joined a dance contest & we chosed Van Halen's "Jump" as our music and during the actual performance, one graceful kick and my right shoe,which i just borrowed from a friend for that particular event,went flying off my foot and offstage,which fortunately or unfortunately(?) did not hit one of the judges and yet i made it through like a pro!..80s was that time when i cried so hard listening to Klymaxx's "I Miss You", each time it was aired over the radio because the guy who vowed to love me,dissed me for someone else after almost 3 years,dumped me for a girl,who i thought was far better than me....and i really thought i can't go on?...At this point, one might laugh at me so darn hard for being so stupid & naive but that was me during the 80s.
i've grown a lot since then,i've gotten stronger,wiser,more mature, less stupid over the years.....(or am i?)..but i'll never forget the 80s...
