Reluctant Govenors and my relation to Napoleon Dynomite (...or at least Uncle Rico)

As if very many of my readers care, I was left wondering what's going on inside the head of our good governor of Nebraska... and even my fellow Nebraskans who seem to have taken a left turn in the corn maze. I'm talking about the new license plate that was chosen/voted on for our 2011 design.




This was one of four final contestants [hand picked by the governor], two of which actually portrayed something that relates to Nebraska. So after putting it to a vote, we now get black and white with a subtle reminder to visit your local government online. Are most Nebraskans artfully challenged?



So now I am also finding myself feeling a little uncle Rico-ish.



No, I'm not dying to relive the glory days of high school football [I would actually have to have played high school football to have that happen] but I find myself extremely nostalgic for 80's music. I know life was a lot simpler then and listening to music was such a big part of my teenage years. I no longer have that luxury.





So, what are you nostalgic for?

Like you, I would love to go back to the music of my youth (80's) and the tv sitcoms. Life was a little slower and a lot less stressful back then. Oh how I miss those days.

The innocence of youth. Plain and simple.

I'm nostalgic for the days when swearing was not allowed on TV.

I'm nostalgic for an MTV that actually showed music videos.
