Early crushes and other wounds of the 80's

Picture 1

While trying to relax after work today I saw a commercial on the Sci-fi channel for one of my favorite shows ever. Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. It was early in my childhood that I became smitten with the Tom Brokaw of space. He wore a tight white space suite and had a fly starship. He was my man - and I was his first grader. Uh - I was really young when the show was on. I guess I was 4, maybe when it started? I was trying to do the math and I confused my self. But I know I was in elementary when the show ended.

Anyway -as I was taking a stroll down memory lane, I started thinking about all of those early childhood imaginary crushes. You know the loves and infatuation you developed through TV/movies. Ah, how those first crushes were the building block of my adolescence...

Here's my list, maybe it will strike up a few memories of your own.
