For TWB?
Yes TWB. @thewritersblock. This is a seven day challenge and to help @gmuxx pay back his loan to get over here from Europe, I will send all the liquid SBD proceeds from all 7 posts of this challenge to The Writer's Block. I want to meet you too man, and I will, so this is my way of saying thanks for making the sacrifice to come and helping out. I know it can't be easy, I've done my fair share of traveling abroad and expect it will be commonplace again soon enough. See you soon!
Wayyyy Back
This is day one of both my #tvshowwaybackchallenge (initiated by @saffisara) and the #musicwaybackchallenge (started by @greek-trail). Since Sara tagged me for both of these (thanks hun), and I promised I would do them, I am making them both in the same post(s). So, here we go!
The Music
I have several iconic points of my life where songs say a lot. Some as early as 3 years old so I changed the first 'rule' down there to 'youth' instead of high school/college years. That being said, I have very fond memories of one song in particular that my parents would play often when we lived in Fort Jackson. They sometimes would dance, but mostly I recall sitting on the porch with them as the sun would go down and listening to "Summer Breeze" by Seals & Croft. Still causes the eyes to um...ya dust.

The chorus :
Summer Breeze...makes me feel fine
Blowing through the Jasmine in my mind

The Boob Tube
The earliest thing I remember watching was good old Hanna Barbara. No, not the Flintstones. And no, not the Jetsons. I actually didn't like either of those. I was a huge fan of Scooby Doo! That was the cartoon I got up for Saturday mornings. Velma was and always will be my fav. She was smart, and hid her cute little self behind books and brains. Even young, I respected that critical thinking and problem solving was a major plus to have. And she always said "Jinkies", so that kept me coming back too LOL!
You can join either of these challenges too by following the rules/guidelines:
➿ Choose one song or television show from any point in your youth.
➿ Write a few words about when & where you heard the song or watched the show for the first time, what it means to you, and/or why it holds a spot in your memories.
➿ Try to write your text while listening to the song or watching an episode. As soon as it ends, wrap up what you where writing and submit it.
➿ Do this for 7 days in a row if you get nominated.
➿ Mention one person who should do this on each day.
➿ Tag it with #musicwaybackchallenge or #tvshowwaybackchallenge and include these rules at the bottom of your post.
You're Tagged!
