Confessions Of An 80's White Boy: Again

Some things witnessed escaping my mouth during one recent session spent in cyberspace...

"Well, how can I forget you, girl, When there is always something there to
remind me?"
"Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question mark!"
"And i ran, i ran so far away. I just ran, i ran all night and day. I couldn't get away"
"Swaying room as the music starts. Strangers making the most of the dark. Two by two their bodies become one"
"She used to look good to me, but now I find her... Simply irresistible! "
" Holding back the years, Thinking of the fear I've had for so long. When somebody hears,
Listen to the fear that's gone."
"We're fussing and fighting, delighting with tears and we cry until dawn. (oh oh)
hold me now!"
"When you see the price they paid, i'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade"
"Love shack! Baby love shack!"
"What set you free I need you here by me! Because! In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more". With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more""

I gotta leave them internet radio stations alone. Or leave Real Player off when blogging!

Yeah I remember these songs, 2nd 68!! You're such a white boy!

I too am a child of the 80's child. The Breakfast Club came on the other day, and I had to break down my love for all things Molly Ringwald to my sister. She was looking at me sideways for the rest of the day, lol.
