I love - absolutely LOVE Hello Kitty - I always have and now I love getting Sanrio things for my daughter. That is just the cutest face. You know I think about that every once in a while and I know comedians touch upon this (not that Hello Kitty falls into play here) - but do you remember the toys we had when we were young. There were chemistry sets, a "long darts", and I don't remember ANYONE wearing a helmet to ride a bike - weren't the kids who wore helmets slow or something was wrong with them - how times have changed. And we didn't have video games - not until we were older - we had to use our imaginations - that is what is lacking in today's society. I remember my mom would just tell us to "go out and play." And we didn't have any thing specific to play with - so we would play war, climb trees, explore - USE OUR BRAINS - and we COULD - we could amuse ourselves for hours. LOL - now I feel like the old man who tells the next generation how he walked up hill both ways to school - but it was TRUE - ask my brother - we did walk uphill to catch the bus - maybe not both ways . . . Ah memories . . . One of my favorite quotes is by Dr. Suess . . .
Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened.
-- Dr. Seuss
Anyhooo. . . Onto a new subject. . . I have to add that I just love the Kings of Leon - they remind me of a GREAT classic 70's/80's band - but better. I was just talking to Zack - my beloved hair dresser - how music just isn't the same - records - remember how much we LOVED album covers - nothing beat records. When I finally got tapes - I could actually make mixes - and I loved that. It took me forever to get CD's and now they are becoming extinct. Crazy.
Oh the good ole days . . . You know we are making 'em right now . . . think about that . . . we can't just dwell on the past because this too shall be the past and we will talk about today . . . as long as we contribute, live and ENJOY this moment - so enjoy those memories - but enjoy today too - since we are making new memories at this very moment . . . Ok now I am off to make a memory with my Miss Bella . . .
