Setting the Way Back Machine to 1988

[kybearfuzz]

I was looking for something in my photo albums and came across this picture of bleuvalentines and me from high school. The year was 1988, she and I were on the high school newspaper and yearbook staff. This pic was taken in our staff room. Camera flashes were common in this room as random photographers ran amok in our school hallways.

Back then I used to comb my hair straight back, creating this Baptist preacher mound of hair. It was the 80's when big hair was the norm. I also wore these horrible glasses that were huge and tinted. Strangely enough, this was the year I jogged every day and was in the best shape of my life likely.

I absolutely hated high school for the most part, but working with Heather in the Journalism class was one of the bright points. I had purpose and responsibility as the newspaper editor.

I decided to post this picture after reading shortstackbear's post about how he used to look so different than the woofy bearish appearance he has today. Therefore, I issue this challenge to any and all friends on my list to post a pic of yourself from "back in the day."

Duran Duran was likely playing at the time, we did have a radio in the staff room...

And what were you like back in 1988? :D

I was a huge dork in '88...........so I guess not much has changed. But I was only 11.
