Friday Feel Good

Here’s one Flashback Friday that I think would momentarily blast all your pandemic funk away.

This YouTube video was shared by my local celebrity crush, James Deakin (who had been replying to my IG DMs, FB comments and even greeted me on my last birthday), on his Facebook page today. 

Believe me, it did make my endorphins do the jitterbug.

It’s a tribute to '80s entertainment and if you’re a child of the '80s just like me, you’ll recognize most—if not all—the clips featured in this video and might feel old but very pleased at the same time to have been a part of it. Undeniably the golden age for movies, TV shows, and music (never mind the big hair and the big shoulder pads), it’s an awesome era where everything was much simpler and more fun. Watching this brings back happy childhood memories and it’s by far one of the happiest videos I’ve seen. 

With all the clusterf*ck that’s happening right now, I wouldn’t mind getting zapped back in time and just go back when everything’s okay again. Seriously, shouldn’t we all have a DeLorean time machine by now?

Anyway, enjoy this video and I hope it brings as much cheer to you as it did to me.

(P.S. I love this song.)
