*excitement excitement*

[howyoubesohot]

ok well my last entries have been all sad and depressing and not quite my cup of tea and I blame it on the sickness which is now slowly starting to lift (I no longer sound like a smurf which is nice). There is so much exciting news to share and it's all uber cool.

Number One:  This is just a shout out to my birthday buddies.  jasper_ankle, way to turn 20 on

You are taking on a great task, Sir Knight, to make such a website. I shall attempt to help you, in whatever ways I may before the end.

Children's programming today sucks. What is the "Wee 3" and whatnot? They all scare me. And they all make kids into the hyperactive demons they are now. What happened to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Or Samuri Pizza Cats? Now those were quality programming. Those are the shows I'm talking about.

I can't think of games or toys right now, but I do remember my first lunch box, the graduation from being a little kid in kindergarden to a wee little "grownup" in grade 1. It was a beautiful lunch box. It was one of those hard plastic ones, which I adored. It was Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, rollerblading on a rainbow. It had a little thermos and a little container for your sandwich. It was beautiful. I remember my dad took me especially to Toys R Us to get it.

You know what else? The excitement you'd get walking into a toy store such as Toys R Us. You couldn't help but think "I WANT" that comes with the sensory overload of seeing so many cool toys in one place. I remember the fun I'd have just picking out the toys I'd want, knowing I'd never get them anyways. It was a circus, a playground; an expensive one, if you're the parent. But it was just so exciting. Do you get that excited when walking into a clothing store nowadays? No. Not even if you walk into Chapters or HMV or whatever do you feel that same sense of enjoyment. Even the CAR ride was fun. Now do you feel the same fun? No. The magic of the toy store has been ripped from us; just another branch on the tree of innocence to hit as we fall down from childhood to adulthood.

i'm so glad that you're willing to help. I especially need a super genius like you.

In fact, I still feel that way when I walk into a toy store and see cool toys. Now it's not just how expensive they are but also the fact that I can't fit into the mini-car anymore. Toy stores are especially cool now, cause they are starting to market to today's kids stuff that we liked when we were ten. If only they'd bring back POGS!

OMG, POGS! I say you and I should take a trip one day to Toys R Us and just have fun. What say you?

Collecting lots of pogs will now be the meaning of my LIFE.

YES! Ok New missio: Bring pogs back to the playground where they belong!
