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!"
