One Of The Sexiest Films During My Time: What A Feeling By Irene Cara




I remember one of the sexiest films that shown during my time was "Flash Dance". It starred Jennifer Beals a steel worker who had ambitions of being a dancer. I remember a lot of my friends watched this film which was so popular during that time. There were a lot of great tracks that were included in its soundtrack as well. The song that stands out the most from this film was "What A Feeling" by Irene Cara.

Man, this song was so popular, it was played everywhere. Even school activities made use of this song during their presentation. For me the hottest scenes were the club dance where they pour water over the dancer as she sat on the chair as well her audition where she wore a very skimpy black top and shorts (if you could call it that). In the end, she got the part as well as the man. Still those two scenes were smoking.

I'm glad too see that the lead actress is still active. She's done of film and t.v. work to this day and she's still hot. Still, she will always be remembered for those scenes. She was every boy's fantasy at the time. Man, she burns the screen during that time and still does to this day.

It Affects All Of Us: I Cry Just A Little Bit By The Outfield




Every time I remember my father's passing, it still hurts me deep inside. I'd give anything to hear his morning rants about coffee or creamers just to know that he's there. Still, I know I am not the only affected by this as my brothers and my mother still mourn his death as well. It hurts even more when I see my mother cry, I feel like crying too. It takes a piece out of my heart when that happens. When I hear the Outfield's song "I Cry Just A Little Bit", it reflects what I feel when I see her grieve for my father.

As I have said before, you never know how much a person means to you until they are gone. Whenever she wakes up early in the morning, I know the loss hits her again. It gets worse during Sundays because that's the day they spend a lot of time together. The best I can do when that happens is let her cry and be by her side till she gets it out of her system. It's hard seeing her like this but join her and try to console because like her I too miss him very much.



Still, I'll be there for as long as it takes because she's my mother and she was there for me when I needed her. It's my turn to give comfort as she has comforted me when I was a boy. It's tough but I know he's up there playing all the 18 holes in God's big golf courses with my granddad as well as my nanny. For now, I'll do my best to keep her from crying cause when she cries, I cry too.
