So, I was tempted to post an old paper that I wrote for a theology class in seminary, but it is 9 pages long and I don't know how dedicated my audience is yet, maybe someday I can have a post that long, but I don't think I am there yet. So, I am not exactly sure what this post is even going to be about, just felt the need to do something and writing is as good a 'something' as anything else.
After a few minutes I have a thought, what if you guys and gals, whoever it is that is actually reading these blogs, tell me what you would like to hear about? Just post ideas in the comment section, or facebook, or email, and I will write on whatever you guys would like. Until then, how about them 80's?
I was watching Teen Wolf earlier, the movie not that newfangled TV show on MTV [speaking of which didn't they used to show music videos?]. And it made me realize a few things, first what is the point of wearing a jacket if you are just going to push the sleeves up, at least in Back to the Future Michael J Fox just wore his vest jacket [which I know has a real name but for the life of me I can't think what it is and the internet is not being very helpful]. I don't remember ever doing that, but I was only 11 by the end of the 80's so maybe I just wasn't old enough to fall into the category, or perhaps I wasn't cool enough [which is quite possible]. Also, how ludicrous is it that when Scott turned into a werewolf during the basketball game for the first time absolutely nothing happened, the game just continued, what's up with that?
Anyway, speaking of fads [rolled up jacket sleeves] I do remember loving hammer pants in the 90's. For those who know me nowadays this might seem out of character, which to be honest is true, at least to my public persona, but ask Mary and maybe it still isn't out of my private character, after all just the other day I was dumb dancing [ask the Fresh Prince about that] to Rihanna's Umbrella song, so... I really loved MC Hammer back in the day, I bought his CDs, I watched the cartoon show, I sang along to the end credits of the Adams Family, and I even had the hand motions down for Too Legit Too Quit [I still do the movements when I listen to the song to this day]. I had a few different pairs of hammer paints, I remember this one pair was black and had florescent paint splatters on them, I had another pair that were a blue and green mix.
I also remember slap bracelets with some fondness, although they seem to be back and I don't think that was needed. Now that I mention it, a lot of things seem to be coming back, and to be honest most of those fads should be allowed to rest in peace. But on the off chance that Hammer pants come back from the fashion graveyard let me know, I might still have space in my closet for a pair.
Peace and Love,
Pastor K
