THERE IS FREEDOM WITHIN

I was watching a DVD at home today when this song came on.  Flashback to 1986, the year I graduated from High School.  Sidetrack:   I am having another flashback...of the time a few years ago when a kid working in my office mentioned that he was born that year.  I started laughing hysterically and then threw up a little in my mouth.  That grown man/boy was born the year I graduated.  Sigh.  Back to 1986.   I took my fashion cues from her, and I loved this song.

DON'T DREAM IT'S OVER

by Crowded House

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL WARD

 

YOU KNOW YOU'RE GETTING OLD WHEN

The first time I heard myself say I can't stand these new haircuts the boys are wearing, they are too poofy or their bangs are so long you can't see their eyes, I knew I had officially left rebelville and moved into appropriateland.  This is why people have mid-life crises.  You wake up one morning spewing forth words and phrases that not too long ago gave you hives.  How did I get here?

Back to the haircuts, but first this disclaimer.  **I HAVE NOT READ ANY OF THE TWILIGHT BOOKS, NOR HAVE I SEEN THE MOVIE.**  So forgive me as I use the following demigod to illustrate a good style idea gone wrong.

EXHIBIT A

See, even he's not that thrilled with it.  It takes a lot of product to get that kind of lift.  I am glad he had it cut recently.  He must have seen a little bit of himself in the same photo I did and decided that wasn't going to flip the switch for tweeners and housewives much longer.  Girls like a head of hair they can run their finger through, not one that snags your sweater or provides refuge for a small flock of sparrows.

Maybe if I saw the movie I would get it.  Maybe I'm really "out of it."  Up until 10 min. ago I thought his name was Robert Patterson.
