I'm down in my arcade right now, cleaning, measuring things and drawing up diagrams to make sure I can get everything to fit when I rearrange things in the upcoming weeks. As I'm doing this, I'm enjoying my compilation of 80s CDs. The last song on one of the CDs is Africa by Toto. Man that song brings back memories.

I'm just shocked thinking about how long ago that song hit the airwaves. THIRTY years. Christ I've been out of the Navy 20 years this month. Three frickin decades...gone. When Africa was playing I felt like I time-warped back to 1982, it was awesome. And I didn't even have any of the games on....

God I hope I will still be doing this 30 years from now. My kids will keep my ancient ass feeling young; God bless em.

Anyone else feel like this?
 
I feel like I'm in the 80's. And I don't even have my arcade started yet! I'm surrounded by my Ataris and NESses all hooked up to a CRT.
 
Getting old sucks.

A friend of mine just told me her daughter had a 16th birthday party and the theme was the 90s. That made me feel pretty old.

I have 80s music and classic rock in my jukebox And my 15 year old daughter knows the lyrics of most of the songs better than I do. BTW that's the only kind of music I play in the Game room I can't stand all that new " Do me Baby" crap I hear on the radio now a days.

Wait there were enough unique things in the 90's to actually throw a 90's themed party?

I remember the 90's as a little overlap from the 80's followed by bland uninspired ideas in every form and about the end of the decade the internet really took off and lead into the 2000's. 90's were pretty much a giant creative void of suck while we waited for something interesting to happen.
