Today’s Movie Clip O’ the Day comes from The Lost Boys because I remember being nine when I first saw this and then, from that moment on, daydreaming constantly about living in a beach town in California. Today I live in California, less than ten minutes from the beach. Before this, I lived 45 minutes from the actual beach town in The Lost Boys.
This boardwalk used to be my boardwalk and every time I really thought about it, I’d get giddy remembering 9-year-old me & my daydreams.
Never in my decades as a Virginian / Washingtonian did I think I’d ever actually end up out here. “I’m too East Coast for that,” I would tell myself. And yet, I’ve been a legitimate Californian coming up on 10 years now. Life is wild. Don’t bet on never.
