Memories a la Video Blog

A friend of mine did this on another site...I loved it and wanted to do it here. Memories a la video blog...

Send Me an Angel - Real Life:

When I was 13, we moved in to a new house, which had an unfinished basement. I'd recently watched the movie "Rad", which had this song in it. This song will always remind me of doing tricks on my brother's little Mongoos BMX bike down in the basement, listening to this "cassette", being...well...rad.


Beastie Boys - Girls:

Back in my jr. high days, my mother didn't allow "rap" to be played in my house...she specifically didn't want me listening to these guys. While I was a relatively good child and did mostly what my parents told me, this was one area in which I rebelled. I mean c'mon..it was the BEASTIE BOYS!

Biz Markie - Just a Friend

My sophomore year in high school our basketball team made it to State. Due to the fact that we had a kickass pep club, the drill team and cheerleaders were allowed to attend and perform between quarters and at halftime. Just a Friend is the anthem for that trip...and sometime I'll have to tell the story about Dennis Blunden asleep in our hotel bathtub, and the basketball coach's poor wife having to sleep on a cot out in the hall in front of our room.

Silly Ho - TLC:

When I first started hanging out with my now husband, he and his friends would tag along every time I wanted to go on a little road trip or just drive around. Usually my cousin sat up front with me while the boys sat in the back. Silly Ho was one of my favorite songs on my "Roadworthy" CD, and those guys would bounce around so much to the music that my little red '98 Honda Civic would literally be rockin'.

This was fun! I'll do another one soon. In the meantime...your turn!
