I was just sitting here listening to track after track of songs from the 80s.

I close my eyes and see the 80s flash before me, so close, so vibrant; I can feel the 80s sunshine on my face, I can almost touch it.

Then it dawned on me.

I miss the 80s.

I don't miss it because I think or I know I miss it.

I feel that I miss the 80s.

Maybe its because like Randall said in Clerks II, 'it was a simpler time, it was a time when I know that I still had the world ahead of me'; or maybe it's because things were so much better.

I feel I share a bond with people who grew up in the 80s, a bond like no other, because of the things, songs, TV, cartoons that only we experienced back then - He-Man, MASK, Centurions, Ghostbusters, Spiral Zone, Transformers, Silver Hawks, Visionaries, Ninja Turtles, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, Galaxy Rangers, GI Joe and more (this just off the top of my head).

No, things are in no way bad now; and I still have the world ahead of me (I'd hope); but, I just miss the '80s.
