October 6th... A Day that is on the Calendar.

Today is October the 6th. Huzzah for reaching my twenty fourth year upon this Earth! I look back at all my years and still cannot help but think... my god, all the stuff I used to think was beyond outstandingly cool as a child...is now the height of retro. I suppose part of this comes with my continued fascination with video games, but then again, that seems to be the case with most people of my generation... my god... I'm no longer in the current generation... I can now look back at smaller children and say 'Why in my day...' ... in my day, we didn't have your fancy PS360 majiggers with their 56-D graphics and fully controllable every which way shaking hho-ha controllers! We had things that looked like boxes... REALLY realistic boxes that shot other, smaller boxes at us, and we tried to stop them with our tiny boxes by pressing between two and four buttons! Four if you were top of the line in those days...



Someday I will hold my child on my knee and say: 'Son/Daughter...' That will be thier name. Obviously... '...one day, long from now....you'll look back on these things with fond memories... and joyful merriment.... and then, when you play them again... you'll realize how good you'll have it in the now.'



No Megaman. I'm not still bitter. Not after eighteen years.




I hate you.... but why do I keep coming back.... I need your scorn....
