I love the 80's 3D

VH1 have hit paydirt as far as I'm concerned. They're on their third "I love the 80's" series. It's spurred me to put Winamp on "random" and let it loose on the 4.6Gb of 80's music I have lingering on my hard drive.

♫Hope I live to tell the secrets I have learned
'Till then it will burn inside of me....♫

Of course from my perspective, you can't beat Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
Sadly though, Frankie Says....No More. :-(

Hi Chris! My name is Shari, and I live in California. (Please feel free to visit my blog). I found yours from the random "next blog" link here on Blogspot. As I do whenever I run into another 80s lover, I just had to comment! :)

The 80s was the decade I came of age, so there's no way it could NOT hold the most emotional and memorable significance for me. My favorite thing about it was, of course, the music! And I agree with you about VH1 -- they're really the only channel I've found where I can indulge my nostalgia for this "totally rad" decade. ;)

Your Blogspot profile doesn't show your age, and I can't tell from your photo, but based on your blog (which I admittedly haven't read much of yet), I'm assuming you're somewhere between your mid-30s and very early 40s. Am I right? Or at least close? *chuckle*

Here's a somewhat obscure 80s song quote for you. It's from a band that some folks mistakenly call a "one-hit wonder", but they were FAR from it! The song I'm quoting is NOT the one they had their biggest hit with, hence my calling it obscure....

The shining eye will never cry
The beating heart will never die
The house on fire holds no shame
I will be coming home again

The non-separation of the LDS church and Utah state.

Look - I understand that mormons think gays are somehow evil, subhumans. I understand that the LDS won't tolerate gays, doesn't like them and thus won't marry them. But for local government to overturn a supreme court ruling about gay marriage is taking it too far. This is religious persecution on a par with the dark ages. The church doesn't like gays, so it leans on its members in government to do everything possible to prevent them from having the basic rights afforded other couples who want to marry. In other words, the LDS church is forcing it's (wrong) opinion about the LGBT community on everyone, via state and local laws that it has had passed and enforced on its behalf. Why should non-religious people be forced to abide by the opinion of a religious cult that they have no affiliation with? Apart from anything else, the uber-conservatives in this state are always the first ones to bitch when something even slightly unconstitutional happens, yet here they are r

Employees don't want much

I'm sitting looking at my company's internal 'learning' system this morning - hundreds of online courses that are available to all employees, some of which we're mandated to take. I'm not sure why the rest of them exist. We certainly don't have time to do any of the courses, and for the average employee, they hold no relevance to what we do, or want to do in our day-to-day jobs. I for one just want to be assigned tasks, and then be left alone. I don't need to do hazardous material training - my job doesn't involve hazardous materials. I don't need micromanagement. I don't need all the various efficiency and ethics courses that are available because I have common sense. I don't need to be instructed how to use the email system, nor how 'just in time' manufacturing is good for the company (it has no bearing on our division). Ok I understand all of this is corporate C-Y-A but so many of these things are just inconsequential to us. On
