This past Friday I celebrated my 29th birthday....I know I don't look a day over 23 but believe it or not I am 29. I thought that I would share with you some of the best things to come out of the year 1981....other than me of course...HAHA!

In 1981 the average income per year was $19,170.00

In 1981 the average cost of new car was $7,210.00

MTV (Music Television) is launched on cable television in the United States.

Ronald Reagan becomes US President

First Flight of US Space Shuttle Columbia

The term INTERNET first mentioned

Popular Films: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Superman II, On Golden Pond

Interesting to think that some of the stuff we take for granted today like the INTERNET is 29 years old as well....crazy huh?
