...I was in love with Alex P. Keaton...
I was watching tv and noticed a show called Nueva Estrella. And so, because I am easily seduced, I watched it and it was suprisingly good. In the same vain of American Idol, but the performers have talent. And there are no mean spirited judges. Maxx (who has gone on to the final round) sang "At this moment" when he did I was transported back to the days when I was in love with Alex P. Keaton (I know I was young and silly, he was so stuffy and never really took a risk. Though he did with Ellen and she turned out to be his real life wife!) and my heart was breaking as he tried to catch the train for Ellen, who was engaged to another guy. I loved to imagine that I would be the girl that would break someone's heart. That someone would put himself out there and love me above all else. Plus have the soundtrack to play in the background. I think that is why I love listening to the ipod, I can imagine it is the soundtrack to my movie. The movie that I am staring in. I am a little mad at itunes though. They don't have the song. I mean how could they. It is a classic. A classic I tell you! I am going to have to go out and get one of those 80's albums that the Boy hates. He thinks that pretty much all music in the 80's blows. It is all pretty cheesy, but it makes a girl feel good sometimes or makes her able to wallow in her bad feelings. Silly I know, but very true. I have sort of felt like wallowing lately. I feel like I am slipping into honey. Like it's hard to walk, to do anything really. It comes and goes the slipping into honey. But I will always have Alex and now I can go out and get "our" song. So so silly!!!!!
Remember him in Teen Wolf? What a sill girl I was!

I don't hate all 80's music....just the stuff that was on the radio. I don't usually like to post on these things (ruins the mystique), but I felt I had to defend myself. wink wink.

Jenn,
I wanted to be the Jennifer Keaton, who I think is a musican now.
Johanna,
I forgot about Ralph. I think Alex was the mold for my attraction to the preppy boy, like all of the guys in Dead Poets, anything with Chris O'Donnell...
Boy,
Hey good to hear from you. I know that you hate it when I say you are a music snob, but I mean it in the best possible way!!! I know a big influence was REM before they hit the radio, The Smiths, a bunch of bands whose name I don't know. Your palate is more refined than mine! But it is easier to say everything.....

Thanks for your wonderful comments on my blog. I've been so busy with the children that I don't get the time to reply as often as I'd like. So pleased you are still reading!

Hey There!
First of all...
Thank you so much for watching the show. I believe the songs I sang were "Dream On" and "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You". I hope that helps! Feel free to email me...
Much Love,
Maxx
