Sappy Saturdays, Installment #1: Homecoming

Sappy Saturdays means reminiscing and remembering, and because of that, probably laughing. In honor of Madera High's homecoming game last night, you'll get to relive MY Senior Year Homecoming...lucky you! (By the way, in case you were wondering...Madera lost last night to Clovis High 21-14, but Anthony had some great hits on Defense and some completions on Offense.)

Facts about October 8, 1999:

According to my high school yearbook, my plans were to "go to college in Southern California and meet Chloe in Pismo every summer. I'll learn to surf with Alli and Becki; we'll be surfing chicks. I'll meet my Prince Charming and we'll get married. After a while, we'll have a couple of kids and live happily ever after. Sometime in my life, Joseph will be right."



So I don't have my senior picture, but I do have a photo of what I might have looked like (look left). Personally, I seemed to be ahead of the times, because my Orange Can Bang Days came before the year 2000.

And because it isn't horrifying enough to look at pictures of myself in high school, I went further back. AND since I rarely subject myself to this kind of humiliation and endure it alone, I have fixed up some pictures of Ryan, too (surprise, honey!).

1950's: Men once wore bowties to school, and women cooked from scratch. Everyone say "Awwwww."











1960's: The decade where "we would rather look perfect than sleep." Glad those are over.












1970's: Some bitchin' times, man.











1980's: Proof that the Farrah Fuacet Feathering technique is not just for the ladies.












1990's: Because who doesn't need a reminder that mullets and perms were once popular?
