Okay, so it’s back to the future day. It’s the day THIRTY YEARS INTO THE FUTURE that Michael J. Fox traveled to in Back to the Future II.
Am I the only one slightly creeped out by this? It’s been thirty years since high school? The 80s were thirty years ago? We are all old? Something about this day really gives me anxiety…
At least Doc is around to talk us off the ledge and tell us it is all going to be okay.
Still, this is kind of a weird thing, right?
This movie was my everything. I did a whole tour of the shooting locations a few years ago before my first kid and put it online. I have a Huey Lewis Sports poster and Biff’s autograph. Today is great.
I’m also wearing my Twin Pines Mall security shirt. Wear your pants pockets inside out today!
I love everything about your post for the same reason that I love the 80’s–we were so damn optimistically thrilled at the possibilities of the future, even in the face of nuclear annihilation and no jobs. And we loved neon colors. My friend slept with Huey Lewis. (That was the downside of the 80’s – HA!)
What’s scary is: Donald Trump is LOT like the 2015 Biff.
So true, Cat!
I love this site!
I was talking to my best friend today about this. The 80’s and early 90’s were the best times EVER! Thank goodness social media wasn’t around then:)
We are not old TT, we have more life experience.
I just can’t believe that it’s been 30 years. The 80’s and 90’s were the best!
It’s my mother’s birthday, today. She is 92.
Is there a web site that compares what was in the movie with what is actually happening?
@Lisamia Happy Birthday to your mother.
CNN has a article.
Oh cool, thanks! 🙂
NO, LisaMia, since your ability to Google on your own is basically nil, PLEASE LEARN TO USE IT AND READ THE COMMENTING RULES, it is my pleasure to inform you that I am the only person on planet earth who realizes that this is Back to the Future Day, and you won’t find a single mention of it anywhere else in all the fucking universe.
Humblest apologies, TT. Got too excited and forgot. 🙂
No effing hoverboards! WTH???
There was some fake press release about a hoverboard several months back and I got all excited and thought “it’s back to the future!!!” Turns out it was just a magnetized board that had to be on a special magnetized track. Laaaaaaaaame.
Bastards!
Yes, we are all old.
Obviously the space–time continuum has become corrupted. Donald Trump was supposed to become homeless in the eighties. Please, anyone out there who time travels, go back and correct history immediately. Oh, and make it so that my parents won the lottery, if its not too much trouble. Thanks.
Thirty years since high school? Young’un, more like 43 years for me! Geez I’m old (but still young at heart).
Yes, so today a student stole 200 boxes of color from the school I teach at by day then my night job a.k.a. side chick District Manager of my guilty shopping pleasure Dollar Tree some children broke one thousand Christmas ornaments yes One thousand, we just had a shipment today. Then the same group of children pulled the fire alarm, then the neighborhood shoplifters stole four units of merchandize. Approximately $3000 dollars of Thanksgiving and Christmas Swag. So now you tell me was today weird or what? I’m up to my nostrils in paperwork. ???? FML, I will be so happy when my salon is finished being renovated so I don’t have to deal with this mess anymore.
