The Attack Of NOSTRIL-BOY!

My God, they're cavernous. It's like watching THE BLAIR WITCH film. And why didn't any of my friends intervene and make me step away from the "home-permanents?"

Okay, I hate CLASSMATES.com, though I repeat myself. But today I either sent out 208 Invites with tentative dates/times to our Summer Reunion or I sent out 15. I'm not sure, therefore my hatred of the site just grows and grows.

So far, I have chosen to only lampoon myself on this page but now that I have all four of the necessary Annuals...WATCH THIS SPACE!

Pictured above is the only Bowie High School Annual that has survived 20 years of storage, relocation and general attrition of belongings.
If anyone has 1981, 1982 or 1983 they can loan me for the duration of organizing our get together this summer I would greatly appreciate it!

My Hairline and Other Things To Look For At The Reunion

The wonderful thing about being male and over forty is that hair starts to disappear from places it's always been and appear in places that just never had hair. My hairline is racing to make a little island of hair on my forehead surrounded by a moat of scalp.

In the meantime, I could probably braid and bead the hair on my shoulders and back. Hunchack cornrows...mmm, sexy.

I promise to wear a shirt at Six Flags regardless of the heat.

A Very MARY Valentines Day!

Love Is All Around

(Sonny Curtis)

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around, no need to fake it.
You can have the town, why don't you take it.
You're gonna make it after all

How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big
And girl this time your all alone
But it's time you started living
It's time you let someone else do some giving

Love is all around, no need to fake it.
You can have the town, why don't you take it.
You're gonna make it after all,
You're gonna make it after all

Your the one most likely to succeed
Just be sure to keep your head
Cause girl you know that's all you need
Everyone around you adores you
Don't give up the world is waiting for you

Love is all around, no need to waste it.
You can have the town, why don't you take it.
You're gonna make it after all,
You're gonna make it after all

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around, no need to waste it.
You can have the town, why don't you take it.
You're gonna make it after all,
You're gonna make it after all

Reunion Info from 1/22 New Picture from BOWIE 82.com

Here's my idea, and if you hate it feel free to shoot it down BUT ONLY if you have a constructive alternative. I excel at trashing the plans of others but kinda suck at presenting alternatives.

1. We're old and most of us still know a lot of people in Arlington even if we (like me in Minneapolis) have moved on. So let's do something fun we did when we weren't old and we lived there. SIX FLAGS OVER TEXAS on (of all the most horrible of days!) JULY 4th 2007! Crowds, kids, sweat, 100 degrees plus...classic North Texas Summertime fare.

2. I will work my contacts through my Dad and his wife to see what the Arlington Visitors and Hospitality types can do for us for our out of town guests.

3. I will also see what I can do to drum up a space for a second day Adult event when we're all sunburned and want to DRINK and DISCO. I'm pretty sure we've all seen enough crepe paper to last three lifetimes so if there's a cash bar a DJ and a mirror-ball...I'm good.

4. I'll also come up with some one-size-fits-all XXL T-Shirt or ball cap that we can get for cheap for everyone to help with recognition at the Theme Park.

Between those things and keeping the Information flowing through this site I'm feeling pretty good about my contribution so far. (I have my Mother to thank for the hint of Martyrdom in that last sentence.)

If you are a Metroplex native still, we'll need you drumming the low hanging branches finding as many of the 81-83 classmates we can find and getting their contact information which we can use this BLOG as a clearinghouse for. Also invited are any of the prom dates from any of the affore mentioned years.

If you, as I, have left North Texas, you need to start planning your summer vacation to include a trip to Texas for the 4th and 5th of July! First we get sunburned standing in line all day with our (well okay, who am I fooling) your children. Then we disco dance the following evening and with any luck there'll be cat fights and secret crushes revealed and that's just the men!

Yours truly,

Timothy Hogan
