So yesterday I was bored and just playing on my laptop switching my photos from Color to Black and White.
I'm hooked. Liking B&W so much better. Here I am in my R 'n R days about 10 years ago....
Your thoughts?
You can still see the same photos in color on my profile.

Just thinking out loud...
Wondering if the car company VW heard both versions of the song "Ca Plane Pour Moi" and "Jet Boy Jet Girl" before they used it in their car commercial?
Both versions were mixed together and used so much in the 80's club scene. The 2 songs used the same backing track. They were so easy to mix if you were a club DJ
"Ca Plane Pour Moi" was done by Plastic Bertrand
"jet Boy Jet Girl" was done by Elton Motello and also the band The Damned.
Do you remember these two songs?

NJ / NYC New Wave / Punk Scene late 70's early 80's

Somehow in the late 70's I got so caught up in the NEW Wave Punk Scene.
I loved The music, The Fashions, The Clubs, The People
My two favorite NYC clothing stores were: Trash & Vaudeville Fiorucci
The clubs I could go on and on. NYC had the best. Limelight Danceteria Peppermint Lounge Palladium Trax Hurrahs Privates CBGB's Max's Kansas City Cat Club
Jersey there was Royal Manor North Close Encounters Dirt Club Hitsville City Gardens One Step Beyond
This subject I could talk forever on. Most fun times of my life were in that era
To find out when and where your favorite band was playing you would either read the Village Voice or the Aquarian Weekly.
Was just good fun music. Where the songs would average 3 minutes or under.
Bands like the
Sic Fucks The Bongos The Cure 999 Even Cyndi Lauper's first band Blue Angel was Awesome Holly & The Italians The Flirts Deadboys Ramones Early Clash
You had Record Labels like Stiff
I could go forever on this subject.
Did you get caught up in it, Like it or hate it???

My One and Only Dark Side...

My One and Only Dark Side... My life's an open book
While still living in Virginia, but knowing I was going to move into Atlantic City.
I knew what Atlantic City was all about. Forget the Beach, Boardwalk, Restaurants and Casinos.
I would watch videos on the strip in AC (Pacific Ave). Learning all the hot spots of various motels, and by what casinos are the best areas.
I have no idea why, but there was always a part of me that wanted to play the part of some chick Working the Ave. I had zero interest in hooking up with anyone. I just wanted to play the part.
So here we are... I'm now living in Atlantic City. Learning when all my neighbors are in for the evening. Turns out to be around midnight. And they start heading out to work around 5am.
First night out...
I'd get dressed looking so Hot... Switching from Dirty Blonde to becoming a Brunette. I'd wait until 1am, I open the door slowly looking in every direction. Close the door, walk quickly up to Pacific Ave and just walk and walk and walk far enough from my neighborhood.
Okay, here I am...
There's no way for me to explain how it feels to have cars passing by me blowing there horns, Guys yelling out the car windows. Hey Baby How Much?
I loved the feeling it was such a rush, but I was so darn scared...
I started liking it so much I would do this about 3 or 4 nights a week. I did become friends with some girls, where this was their job, and a lot of them did it for drug money (sad). Here I am thinking to myself... I don't do drugs, and heck I hardly even drink.
I just loved when a guy would drive up to me, roll down the window and before he has a chance to speak. I lean over and say Hey baby, looking for a good time...
Did this for about 2 years. Stopped a few years ago but still think about it.
The chances I took... And able to write about it...
Other then that I'm the type of person you would want to bring home and meet the family...

Going through some really old photos of mine.
Thinking the year was around '88 or '89.
At that time I recently moved to Northern VA and found some decent tennis courts.
Used to play every Sunday morning. Those days are so long gone...
Just more fond memories...

Woke up a short while ago. All throughout the night I kept thinking about a Multimedia / Video company I closed down and how much I miss.it.
Back in 2010 is when I moved from Northern VA to semi retire at the Jersey Shore.
Hopefully today's a wonderful day.
All the best to everyone...

I always loved the song 96 Tears by (? and the Mysterians).
Even with the internet I still try and find out who "?" is and I'm still not 100% sure.
I'm thinking Rudy Martinez. I just don't know. Do you?.

The year had to be around 1988. I just bought this home in Northern VA.
A week later, I bought this 55 gallon fish tank .
Friends mentioned to me how hard it will be to keep clean.
So I never filled it with water and gave it away.
1988 I look young or at least younger...

Beautiful morning / afternoon walk on the beach.
Still a bit on the chilly side
Not many people out. Just joggers and others walking their dogs.
Here's to everyone having a wonderful day.
Wishing you all the very best...

Power To Put You On Television...

Okay - I decided every Friday I'm going to blog about my past. Calling it Flashback Fridays.
Today it's about a company I owned and having the power to put you on Television, Broadcast Video or CD and DVD by the millions.
All took place right outside of Washington, DC in Northern VA. Thinking these photos are from around 2009. Except for the last one in 2010 when I was tearing down the company and slowly making a move from VA to NJ.
Have a great weekend...
