      And yet here you are watching a video on the Internet on your device, a video that has been edited and made by technology that did not exist in the 80's, and sharing your thoughts about an earlier time period with like minded individuals that you probably would never previously have met or communicated with on social media.

Remember after school coming home and watching things like Batman, WKRP, Welcome Back Kotter. Remember figuring out which of your friends were each member of the A-Team. The weird feelings you would get watching the shiny aerobic outfits. Before you owned a VCR renting one along with movies for a weekend sleepover. Older cousins who would rent really bad horror movies like Maniac and Funhouse.

I can’t properly put into words just how amazing and wonderful the 80s were. It’s a cliche, but it was truly a magical time to spend ages 15 to 25. The music was the best there’s ever been. The parties were crazy, and the movies and sitcoms were the best! Take me back, please!!

      ⁠@@johnjamesjoseph3814 It really was. Seville, Spain is so beautiful. The people of Seville were so good to us. In my case, I was so blessed to live with Pepita and Manolo Gutierrez y Prada. They were husband and wife, 62 and 58 years old at the time. They really spoiled me. Spanish people are so friendly and outgoing. And of course, Spain has such incredible history. I lived just two blocks away from Rio Guadalquivir which is the river used by Christopher Columbus to bring back gold to Spain from the New World. Pretty historical.

    The 80's were a special time for me. It was a great time to be a teenager, and young adult. Fond memories of me, my mom and dad and my brother and sister all together as a family. And most of all, my best friend David, he and I did all kinds of crazy things together, and made plans for the future that never came to fruition. Now my dad is gone, and David is gone, and I think about them and those times often. Yep, the best decade ever.....
