1984 Revisited

Previously, I've posted some excerpts from a journal I kept as a child in 1984. I just reviewed that journal again and found additional enjoyment.

My 1984 journal contains commentary relevant to just about all spheres of life (if you're a 13 year old) -

Personal Recollections -

          "...the glory of killing a chicken..."

Fiction -

          "Tapioca was spinning through space, imprisoned on a love asteroid."

Economic Speculation -

          "My collection of Encyclopedia Brown books will be worth a fortune."

Cultural Criticism -

          "Jock Itch is the fad of the '80s."

Social Observation -

          "There are a lot of druggies in North America, not to mention John Cougar."

Solutions -

          "If life gets too tough, you can always take the Nestea plunge..."

Lost Popular Slogans of the Day -


          "Get laid in an arcade!"
