Wiwille mentioned Bel Biv Devoe in his latest post and it reminded me of a time many moons ago. I was on vacation with my family in Myrtle Beach, probably around age 12 or so. I never had cable growing up and spent a good part of my vacation in the evening watching MTV so I could see all of the latest videos. It was heaven for me!! I was also a HUGE New Kids on the Block fan (shut it!) and saw a commercial where they were performing live on the tube and I desperately wanted to tape it, only hotels didn't really have VCR's or anything for guests to use. (Please note I taped fucking everything back then....seriously I had over 100 VHS tapes full of crap).

My mother and I went on a mad search for a recording device when this lovely hotel employee offered to tape the show for me at his house if I brought him a tape. So off we went to the local drugstore and purchased a tape. The employee kept to his word and brought me the recording the very next morning. There were a lot of other videos as well as the guy seemed to let the tape run and run. I remember Bel Biv Devoes "Poison" being on the tape:


Hearts "All I want to do (is make love to you)" as well:



I was also a huge fan of Roxettes Joyride CD, Paula Abduls Cold Hearted video and Poison cira the Unskinny Bop days! Don't completely judge me.....I had good taste back then as well, I did go to a Cure concert when I was 13 after all!!!

Anyway I can't believe that I was so addicted to taping everything that I had an employee tape my bloody show and for NKOTB to boot!!! Such a nerd...... I probably still have that tape somewhere.........and really what the hell am I talking about (WAS so addicted??) I bought a Tivo last year so that I could tape two shows at once! At least I don't save all that shit anymore I just watch and delete!!

The weekend once again is booked up as there's never a dull moment in the summer. On the agenda: a tour of a jail, dinner and drinks with my gals (hopefully at this bar where we always seem to meet/sit with ridiculously entertaining people lest we forget Leslie the homophobic conservative who liked to invade personal space....he was a treat) and then off to a BBQ the next day where I plan to work on my wrinkles errr tan! Have a great weekend everyone!

Oh Jennifer you would have been so proud of me today, I saw the hottest man ever standing on the street while I was waiting to turn from a parking lot. He was nice and tall, dark hair, muscles and a great tan. He had on a tank top but was putting on a t-shirt over it. I literally sat and stared at him while he did this and felt like it was happening in slow motion. I wouldn't have moved however some biatch was trying to get into the parking place and I was in her way so I had to go. Anyway I continued to stare as I drove by and then I smiled at him (people I'm the worst flirt EVER and not that smiling is flirting but you know what I mean, normally I would have gawked from a far and drove off, which I kinda did but at least I smiled). Of course he gave me a nice big grin back *sigh* so yummy!!! (Please note: Jennifer will not be impressed at all by this story as I didn't wind my window down and whistle or throw my business card at him)
