-I would take my 1 year old little sister and we would sit and watch TV and eat a whole jar of peanut butter with a spoon.
-My step-brother and I would build these amazing headquarters for our G.I. Joes out of these bricks that were sitting by our home. I guess somebody was moving in or had plans for them, or something. Nobody ever complained, either. Maybe they thought it was cute.
-My cousin Jennifer used to sneak out of the house and play baseball with us. She was amazing, too! Every time her mom found out, they'd yell at her and make her go back inside. They didn't like her being a tomboy.
-We had the dumbest logic. I remember hearing on a commercial about "The Sun of God" and then saying that my mother was going to be in trouble because she said ,"I hate the sun!"
-My cousin made reindeer tracks in the snow and told me they were left by Santa Claus. I believed him for a realllllly long time. He also told me about the time a shooting star crashed by his house and that a meteor went under their steps or something. I looked for that meteor for a long time, after that. Never found it, though.
-I had a book that I had gotten from school called "My Super Secret Book". I wrote all kinds of secrets in it. I wrote curse words I wasn't allowed to say and that a girl I had a crush on named Sherika Clark was my girlfriend. My family found it and laughed at me for a while after that.
-I remember rushing home from school to see the latest episode of Transformers, G.I. Joe, or Thundercats. Even the "Disney Afternoon" cartoons like Duck Tales, Tale Spin, Darkwing Duck, and others were just amazing at the time.
I've got a billion memories of old TV shows that nobody will remember, old songs that nobody can relate to, and old toys I used to love. I spend a lot of time on youtube just looking at things I haven't seen in decades. TV show intros, music videos, news stories. The nostalgia is often too much for me to bare. I wonder if I reminisce a little too much. Sometimes, I feel like I'm going to die soon and that I'm getting the chance to remember key parts of my life. But that's taking a positive thread and making it dark.
