<p>1985 is my current readership number. I guess that is the number of views of my blog. Thats pretty cool. People are either bored enough, interested enough, or think I am laughable enough to come a see what I am droning on about. But the number 1985 hits me like a historic brick. Let's take a look at the year 1985:</p><p>You friendly, neighborhood Thunderhawker was 12 years old.<br />Ronald Reagan was sworn into a second term.<br />"We are the world" was recorded and unavoidable.<br />The first Wrestlemania happened at Madison Square Garden, spurring Vincent K. MacMahon onto billionaire status.<br />Back to the Future was released.<br />The finest film of the year, Barry Gordy's "The Last Dragon", starring Tai-Mak and Vanity was released.<br />New Coke was released. What a moronic move that was.<br />Gobachev becomes the Soviet Premier.<br />The Discovery Channel debuts.<br />The Ford Taurus is released.<br />The world's population was only 4.8 billion.<br />Keira Knightly was born 
<br />Orson Welles died.<br />Tina Turner won record of the year for "What's Love Got to do With it?"<br />The average price of a gallon of unleaded gasoline was $1.20. I distinctly remember it being about $.80 in my hometown. Way to throw the curve California!<br />The Titanic was found, eventually spurring a purely ficticious movie with the only redeeming feature being the full frontalness of Miss Winslet, and that was nothing to write home about.<br />The Dukes of Hazard was cancelled. The cost of insuring a 1969 Dodge Charger in competition orange goes <em>way</em> down.<br /></p><p>Needless to say, it was an interesting year.</p>
