I am a child of the eighties.
That is what I prefer to be called.
The nineties can do without me.

Grunge
isn't here to stay, fashion is fickle and "Generation X" is a myth created by some over-40 writer trying to figure out why people wear flannel in the summer.

When I got home from school, I played with my Atari 2600.
I spent hours playing Pitfall or Combat or Breakout or Dodge'em Cars or Frogger.
I never did beat
Asteroids.

Then I watched "Scooby Doo."
Daphne was a Goddess,
and I thought
Shaggy was
smoking something synthetic
in the back of their psychedelic van.
I hated Scrappy.
