The more I look through each of your amazing blogs I am more convinced that I am more of a newbie to this world then I realized. I do believe until I get the hang of this my blog will continue to be the black sheep of the group. For the moment I will stick with the basic black layout and hope you will all just give me a chance before you click the next blog button.
I know this blog was meant to focus on my dream of one day becoming a published writer but for now I am more then excited to talk about my current love affair with the work of the late John Hughes. I have become addicted to a new book chronicling the teen flicks of the eighties including Hughe's famous Breakfast Club and others like Say Anything. I am more then in love with these amazing works of art. As a young woman stuck in the job of the local video clerk, I am surrounded by movies on a daily basis which believe me is not as wonderful as it sounds. I am lucky enough to talk to many people with many different tastes and unfortunately deal politely with the surprising few people who enjoy Steven Seagal over Steven Spielberg.
What I am trying to say is that after viewing my fair share of movies I believe t
he world is much over due for a blast from the past. There is something amazing about the way a group of totally different teenagers can come together and form an amazing bond, or something so fun and creative about two nerdy boys trying to bring a computer generated woman to life, or something incredibly passionate about a boy holding a stereo over his head to try and gain the girl he loves attention. The world is missing the passion, missing the emotion, missing the god damn greatness of it all. I unfortunately grew up in the eighties, feeling like I have missed out on this amazing decade. I strongly recommend picking up the book I have been so obsessed with lately, or even just popping in Pretty in Pink or The Breakfast Club when your feeling down I promise you are in for an incredible treat.
