Jake was just in Grease at his Middle School. They changed some things in the play but some of it was still cringe worthy; because the kids performing it were 12 though 14 years-old and it just seemed a little wrong. Of course, I never liked the movie anyway. I think I was probably one of the three kids in my school who didn’t like it – the other two were probably boys who protested being forced to watch a “girl” movie. It’s not that I didn’t like Olivia Newton-John. I did. I think she was pretty and sang well. And it’s not because I have highbrow tastes. I loved Xanadu. Yes, I mean the roller skating movie about Greek mythology! I’ll admit I really liked it. Wow, I’m a little embarrassed about that now, but I was probably only 10 when it came out and I loved mythology and roller skating. And really, what could possibly be better than combining those two completely non-related things? And now that I’m thinking about roller skating. Did anyone else see the movie or TV show about an African-American woman with a fierce afro and a “do not mess with me because I will hurt you” attitude? After robbing a bank she pressed a button on her shoes and wheels popped out and she skated away. It was awesome! I really wanted some shoes like that. All we have now are heelys, but I think they are ugly. I remember some hot roller skating clogs from the 70s that were amazing and trendy. Frankly, compared to them heelys lose. I would buy the clogs and wear them even if I felt like a fool in them. And bonus: Will couldn’t outrun me!
