I was going to say “Say Anything,” but that very late 80s movie in many ways had already made the cultural shift to the 90s, as had movies like “Midnight Run” and “Heathers.”įor me I’d say it’s “Something Wild,” the perfect intersection of 80s Yuppie-ism and party culture, and the two of them crashing together in the form of Jeff Daniels and Melanie Griffith. I’m American so of course to me the setting would have to be the USA, but of course it’s understandable that a Brit might say something like “My Beautiful Laundrette.”įor me, movies like “Ghostbusters” and “Desperately Seeking Susan” really do it, really take me back to that time and place. So it can’t be set in another time (like “Reds”) or be sci fi or fantasy if they’re set in other times or realities (like Legend or Aliens). I absolutely do NOT mean “best movie made in the 80s,” I mean the movie that really feels the most like the 80s. Then that night, a burner on my electric stove turned itself on and would not turn off.Īlso that night, a strange neighbor went into my storage unit (the latch that holds the padlock was broken) and rearranged my belongings to his liking.?! My father hired the moving company as a gift so I couldn't fight them. I couldn't move the next day because I worked so hard moving my shit. It's ruined, and the moving company refused to compensate me. The guy came back just as we were finishing and collapsed into a new $1,300 leather chair and ruined it with a stain from his greasy hair. I took him to an urgent care facility and I came back and served as the second mover myself. He collapsed in some kind of diabetic shock. On moving day, one of my two movers was old. Everyone in my life was so excited for me. And so grateful for it! It was a 10-year battle of will and persistence to find out what was wrong and to fix it.
I am actually very healthy and out of pain. I recently found successful treatment and I am SO much better. I've had disabling health problems for a decade. First I started having impulses to cut myself to let tension out and now I am thinking about stepping in front of a bus. So I'm not *actually* suicidal.Īnd yet I am having self-destructive impulses because my life is just fucking cursed. The thing is, I thought I wanted to end my life for much of my life and I no longer do. Some are male models and some are not.I keep thinking about walking in front of a bus. Let’s take a look at fifty hot black guys in pictures.

If you want to know more about what influences skin color, consider watching the video below. Some of these you can guess, and others might cause you to pause and think. There are other causes of skin color variation in black and brown people. OTHER CAUSES OF BLACK/BROWN SKIN VARIATION If you happen to be black or want to know about your ancestral roots, I highly recommend order an Ancestry DNA kit ( see Amazon). As a result, humans adapted with darker skin tones, super-charged by melanin.įor example, someone who has native roots traced to Nigeria may have darker pigmentation than an individual from Morocco. I won't bog you down with science, except to say that the closer early man lived to the equator, the stronger the sun exposure. For example, guys with blue eyes have an iris that melanin pigmentation that gives them their blue look. It also is the lead agent behind hair and eye color. Melanin, a complex polymer made from the amino acid tyrosine, is responsible for skin pigmentation. Because of harmful ultraviolet rays caused by the sun’s light, homo erectus evolved during the Pleistocene Epoch into darker tones to protect the dermis from damage. Our ancestors were in constant search for food, causing them to move into hot, open areas where food and water were abundant. In other words, why do some people have fair colored skin and others have a darker color?Īccording to information published on the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, the reason can be traced to adaptation and the location of early man in his relationship with the sun.
