Hi All,
My doctor had to adjust my sleeping medication and it tends to make me a little melodramatic and mushy,at any rate,I was reading a book last night that got me thinking about when I was around 12 years of age where I would leave the house and walk up to the local shopping mall,it wasn't far,maybe a 5 or 10 minute hike.
Suddenly I started to think about how much fun I used to have going into the Arcade my pockets jammed with quarters just dying to be fed into the games,but that wasn't the only thing,it was also the Saturday gamers that hung around every Saturday talking and adding more and more callouses to their hands playing their favorite games.It was a real nice atmosphere,kind of like when Norm Peterson walks into Cheers only you hear people saying "What's up Jason?" or "Hey Jason!" when you walk in,instead of everyone saying at once"Jason" like they did on Cheers with Norm.
When I look back now,it was the little things such as feeling welcome when you walked in,playing doubles on "Double Dragon" with your best friend,hearing the occasional curse word when someone missed grabbing onto the vine in "Donkey Kong Jr."without any regards to the huge sign that said:"No Foul Language" or "No Loitering".Nobody ever enforced those rules,they just had the sign up there to make mall management think that they cared.
Maybe it's just me,but it feels like just yesterday I was sinking quarters into"Time Pilot".Once again,I know how mushy this sounds,but I try my very best to speak from the heart,if you do that,everything you say is truly sincere.Don't ever lose that ability,because you will never get it back,I promise you.
Do you guys have the same feeling about this subject,or is it just me?
