Jack 2: Electric Boogaloo
For some reason, whenever we talked about having another child, we referred to the theoretical baby as Jack 2 Electric Boogaloo.. Don't act like you didn't see the sequel to Break Dancing.. well, we didn't either but I guess it rhymed with Jack 2 better than Jack 2: the alien resurrection. It also lightened the mood of the conversation. We just felt like now was not a great time for many rational reasons: ryan works for a startup that doesn't actually have any "revenue" in the "Worst Economy We Have Ever Seen." Then there is the fact that I am planning to go to an incredibly demanding graduate program next year, and also, we don't have any space in our house for a second child.. since we didn't really have the space for the first. So we'd put it off but always return to the conversation. This is the only issue I have ever truly lost sleep over but once we decided, I was at peace. Such decisions are better made with the heart.

wahoo! better made with the heart, indeed.
Okay, a) the movie was called Breakin'. b) While everyone of our generation saw the original, I'm pretty sure the sequel doesn't actually exist. My theory is that it was the movie equivalent of vaporware, invented in name only only to be an eternal touchstone of cultural reference for Generation X. Finally, c) there is no c).
oh, there was a sequel: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086999/
and you'll notice the first customer comment on imdb says it's the greatest movie of all time.
