Remember 1988

Recommended Posts

that year was a blast. i finished high school a semester early and went to college outside of philly that january and had my 18th birthday there. that first semester i had one girlfriend from maine and two from long island in addition to one i left back home in north carolina and a few other flings. that fall semester in '88 i settled down to just one from upstate NY. and by settled down i mean i only messed around with one other girl from virginia.

 

i went to some fun concerts that year. def leppard (sooooo many girls in spandex), queensryche, whitesnake, acdc, cinderella, robert plant, and i'm sure i'm forgetting a few others.

 

i was looking at a list of movies that came out just to see and i was surprised at how many movies there were that i loved. tha adventures of baron munchausen and dangerous laiasons (both inroduced us to uma thurman whoch made them worth watching), young guns and die hard, beetlejuice, willow, tequila sunrise, biloxi blues, twins (don't judge me), the seventh sign, rattle and hum, big, the great outdoors, funny farm, the serpent and the rainbow, a fish called wanda, midnight run....nothing really spectacular in there but still some good memories.

 

there was this one wierd horror movie i remember seeing that year that i never heard anything about afterwards and i can't remember the name. i think it  was a movie about a serial killer showing up at a movie about some crazy guy who went on some killing spree. i'm probably confused with that last part, but i remember that pat of it took place at a movie theater. there was this one point in the movie that they showed one of those spinning hypnotic wheels on the whole screen. there was lots of funky stuff in it and i can't remember anyone that was in it.

 

tv was kind of meh, imo, that year. cheers, cosby show and a different world, and a few others, but i didn't watch much. we didn't have tvs in our dorm rooms. there was one in each dorm in the lobby and i never really had chances to control the tv and even then i rarely paid attention to what was going on.

 

looking back on that year, it was amazing how much i crammed into that year when it seems these years all i have to do is blink and it's over.

    • To be comforted by this hire, his position title needs to be  Dude who calls offensive plays instead of Dave Canales.  If someone could confirm that is written on his office door I will sleep better.  
    • Should've been: Duren and Moose: 2 each (Duren for starting it, Moose for going crazy after lol) Bridges: 3 (1 for defending Moose, 2 for escalating further with Stew) Stewart: 10 (fug that dude, came off the bench, long history already, NBA should've sent a message with double digit games)   Oh well, I think we can weather the storm for 4 games. A win tonight would be huge as the next couple after are tough, vs Houston and Cleveland. Last game against the Wizards should be a win even short handed. Then back to full strength and keep the train rolling. Still thinking we get a 7 or 8 seed and win 1 of a potential 2 in the play-ins to make the real playoffs. 6 seed and skipping the play-in entirely is a tough ask. But I do think we are better than Magic, Heat, Hawks and can pass 2 of them before the end of the regular season.
    • Hmmm... Well, one of them consistently got dumb penalties that you never see any other receiver commit like offensive offsides on 4th down. One of them consistently would just run routes out of bounds for no reason. XL's only saving grace is that he has been a solid blocker at WR for us There is a reason XL often didn't get the ball thrown to him - he made some of the dumbest mistakes I have ever seen from a receiver... Even receivers that have zilcho talent (Mingo, Terrace Marshall, and all of our other WR draft busts) didn't make mistakes this dumb. It is bad enough when you aren't helping your team because you can't get open; it is much worse when you are so bad and dumb that you are actively hurting your team. I honestly don't think there is any fixing XL. The dude is just an idiot and lacks any kind of awareness and common sense on and off the football field
