Just another fun little blast from the past! Isn’t it the best when you stumble upon something (enjoyable) from your earlier years? Even better when it only costs 5 bucks! I was wandering thru the DVD section at the PX and like, wow, I found the movie Ice Castles! I bought it. It came out in 1978, I was 10, but I didn’t see it until I was 12. It is one of my favorite movies from way back then. It’s one of those movies that made me wish for a split second that my parents had put me on ice skates instead of throwing me in a swimming pool. But, it was only for a split second, I basically lived in a swimming pool back then with all my training, my nickname was poolia. I watched it a few days ago. It was filmed awhile ago, so a little on the corny side and funky styles, but still entertaining and I will keep it on my old movie favorites list. The closing line is still one of my favorites, “We forgot about the roses”. I used to use that line whenever something didn’t quite go right. That will make no sense to you if you haven’t seen the movie! Yes, I have always been and will forever be a dork! The theme song, Looking Thru The Eyes Of Love, is still one of my favorite songs. I couldn’t wait for the sheet music to come out so I could buy it and learn it on the piano! It took awhile, not like today where I just click a few buttons on the computer and it shoots the pages out of my printer! I kept checking the music store, I did a lot of walking! Ha! It finally came in! I still have that original piece of music, might be the only thing I have from back then! You can still see the puncture marks from my cat who was attacking it one day, the notes I added to it, and the edges are pretty torn and it is taped in a few places……but as long as I can read the notes, it’s good. Just a fun moment from the past relived in the present.
