Fish Heads in My Head

I'm coming back around now...  and very happy to report that as of tomorrow I'm cutting off one of my meds completely, and starting to taper off another.  I'm also going to stop a third, but not sure yet, as I probably shouldn't do everything at once. 

So.  The old Jukebox in my head today (and yesterday) was playing this:  "Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads; Fish heads, fish heads, eat'em up, YUM!!"  (HBO, circa 1980). 

I think that kids and geeks that put all kinds of crazy cartoons out there on the 'Net that are so en vogue don't have a thing on "Fish Heads".  That was one of the trippiest things I'd ever seen...  I miss The Gong Show, too...!  Oh, oh, oh, oh, what about that mini movie on HBO called "Close Encounters of the Nerd Kind".  Or "Not Necessarily the News"?  (Remember "Spap Oops").

I saw an x-ray technician at the vet's office wearing Vans shoes...  My high-school boyfriend wore them...    I didn't think I would be saying "we used to wear those" until I got to be at least 50, but 39??????? 

By the way, I'll be 40 in November.  Anyday now, I'll start the countdown...

    "I eat cannibal" I still have that cassette we taped all those cool songs on "back in day". Oh, and the Van shoes, Jill and I went to see The Ring Two, and in front of us was a teenager with his feet up on the chair in front displaying his Vans. The black and white checkerboard ones. ...and it took me back FAST...doesn't seem like that long ago that we were there..in the eighties.
    And don't start the countdown because I'm only a few weeks after you and I'm holding onto every precious moment of my 30's. Let's just celebrate our "UNbirthdays" til then. XOXO, Patti

    Don't knock the 40's. My 40's and 50's were the best years of my life. Paula

    Thank you so much for the sympathy and comments you guys...!  I suppose the 40's will be great, everyone seems to think so...   BTW, Patti, the checkered Vans seem to be the "it" shoe these days for Van wearers, I haven't seen any others..!!
