Flashback Friday-Paula's Awesome

For my first ever Flashback Friday, I have to start with a certain 80’s chick. 

Remember this video?  It was so awesome.  I loved this song!  I loved this whole CD….I mean tape!  I used to play it over and over on my Walkman.  Ha ha, Walkman.  As I write this blog, I am singing "Rush, Rush".  And all I want from you is what you are, and even if you're right next to me it's just too faaaar away....."

Keanu Reeves and a Grease theme?  If this video came out today, I would still love it.  Keanu Reeves was so hot.  Is so hot.  Remember him in Speed?  That is the only action movie I have seen a thousand times and it isn’t because of a great script.

Back to Paula Abdul……In fifth grade, Katie and I called the boy we liked and played “Blowing Kisses in the Wind” into the receiver and then hung up.  Adam, that was us.  You were the cutest boy in the whole wide world and we were the hugest nerds!!!  Lindsey is so much better in fifth grade than I was.  She would never call a boy and do something lame like that.  She also doesn’t have to tape her mouth shut in class.  I really think that I had ADD.  Who has to tape their mouth shut so they won't talk?

Back to 2012 for a second.  Has anyone seen that new JCP commercial?  I almost pee my pants, I laugh so hard when it comes on.  Click on this link and see if you don't laugh.  Maybe it's just me.  If you read all of the comments under the video on You Tube, people hate it with a passion.  I think that they need to lighten up.  I also think that people who take the time to comment on You Tube are major losers, too.  Rarely can they spell, and rarely do they have anything intelligent to say.
