Blast from the Past - The Black Sheeps..inspired from a good friend Annette..

Blast from the Past " The Black Sheeps" - inspired story from Annette..
  I'm here outside the school gym.. Montgomery's .. or Castle park,, it doesn't matter because I used to go to other schools dances to show off my pop locking skills.. Right Guys , Alvin , Jerry , Ken.. you guys remember? ok.. now back to the Black sheep's.. you guys recall them right? Maybe not by name by by reputation.. Well as I recall these were some bad ass girls from Castle Park,, that would crash school dances.. What do i mean. ? Well these cool , bad ass girls.. I always thought they were the coolest hottest and most attitude people I ever saw back in the day. Well next to me and My " Barkada.. they were attention grabbing.. I mean they were always dressed to attract attention and boy did they have attitude.. They may not have been the prettiest girls around , but they all had charisma , that special something that made you look at them and pay attention. Did I converse with them. Of course ,, I loved wild girls.. I never had a relationship wit them but I did interact.. Which means jokes, and dancing. I know they loved the way i danced and I loved the way they looked so cool under pressure. I must say, they made dances exciting by being so.. bad ass. I mean. sure alot of other girls didn't like them.. I mean they would crash school dances and get the attention of " The boys." because they looked so bad ass and had attitudes to match.. The boys.. we liked that.. I mean , back in the day alot of the girls wanted to look the same with their feathered back Farrah Fawcett hair,, and wearing the same type of clothes.. I mean the Pinays, especially had that look, that was cool.. and attractive , but seeing something bold and different was kind of cool back in the copy cat , lets look the same .. That's why? At times i would dress differently , and I would adopt different persona's, u know..Like when I was with the rockers and surfers I spoke that lingo  right dude.. ? Then when with the cool hip hop crowds.. We had are cool slang ..right? I loved how we used to call our close friends bro or sis.. I miss those days. when we could talk to girls. and vice versa,, with out people thinking .. is that your girl.. ? I mean , now that I think about it .. I spoke with alot of girls.. as friends.. because they had fun things to talk about.. The guys back then. well. we will full of it alot of the times.. Its probably why we fought or argued so much because we were so concerned with impressing one another , instead of accepting each other and chilling. But I must say , The back Sheep group was cool, whether they originated in Castle Park or not. I thought they were a cool group from the past.. Just like Rose ,Soly,Darlene, Diane , Sherry , Eileen ,Grace, Alex, George groups. I know I'm missing alot of names and please forgive me.. But memory can only recall so much , but I must say Annette and her girls were a fun experience. The Tacos shops in Chula Vista.. The cruising in National City's highland Avenue or the crashing or school dances were some of the coolest events during our youth. The fact we lived our lives and experience alot more things that this generation has not and will not experience makes those child hood memories even more precious.. I can't really recall one outstanding event , except I liked the black sheep's and their attitude and cool clothes made them a click or group - gang? that made growing up in South San Diego more enjoyable , and maybe a Little bit on the edge , but I feel our generation was in a sense , always on the edge,, We had too. We didn't have the media outlets or devices , that our present today. We had to entertain and find happiness by doing and experiencing things.. Maybe we didn't appeal to the main stream of the generation but we did know how to party and have a great time.. So, to those cool , edgy girls from the Black Sheep .. Annette. Please tell them I appreciate and loved the way they carried themselves and perhaps one day ,, we can have a great reunion , dressed in the clothes of the day. and listen to the music of our day .. And for a day or week ,, or what Celebrate one of the greatest times of our lives.. Our childhood days in South San Diego.. Thank classmates and friends from Montgomery , Southwest, Castle Park, Hilltop, Bonita , Chula Vista , Morse , Mt Carmel..Our school dances and our hangouts were enriched by the " Black Sheeps " The Barkada's .. The UKF, the STUDENT BODY.. the bands, letterette's,, Cheerleaders,, teachers.. Thank you all for all the memories.. Until the next story , Always take care and keep the ideas coming so i can retell the many fond memories we had back in the day.. The Source production @ 2011..
