I have hugs for you if you were born in the 80's

If your Friends don't dance. Then they ain't no friends of mine.

I was born in 80's. The last sane generation.We are the last generation that learnt to play in the street. We are the first who played video games, see cartoons in colour and go to amusement parks. We were the last to record songs off the radio onto cassettes and we are the pioneers of walkmans and chatrooms.We learned how to program the VCR before anyone else. Played with the Super Nintendo and believed that the Internet would be a free world.Wore dungarees. Parents called the cinema a bioscope. Applied insulation tape over the holes on the TDK tape to record off the Hi-Fi. Didn't have a TV remote and had to stand up to change channels. Played cricket in the street with cars driving by. The Tamagochi. We are the generation of the Thunder Cats, the Transformers, Scooby Doo, Mina Moo, Tom And Jerry, Lion King, Popeye, Biker Mice from Mars and  Puppy in my Pocket. Witnessed the birth Boy Bands. Did the Macerana when it was still on the Billboard Top 100. Travelled in cars without seat belts or air-bags. Lived without cell phones. Rode our bicycles down the road without brakes. We never had a phone but still kept in touch.The days when a Blackberry was simply a fruit.We did not have PlayStation, 99 television stations, flat screens, surround sound, mp3s, iPods, computers and the Internet. We turned out pretty ok.

And just to share my love for fellow 80's babies. Especially the ones from South Africa!

 Some Calvin Harris :)
