Superfunkomatic - Observations of the Socially Inept

thinking about grade six, watching movies in the dark classroom, giggling. think about the first time i remember being on skates. think about the first time i every looked at a girl and thought - hey, girls aren’t so bad. thought about the many times i was blotto while in college. to what seemed difficult as a teenage student is now actually quite simple, seventeen years removed.

thinking about how people i’ve grown up with have changed, yet many still have the same traits i admired in them then.

listening to triumph with my new friend quentin in grade 8 on his incredible new device called a budokan walkman - ipod be damned, it was cool.

slipping to a friends house at a grade 9 sports day and getting caught on school grounds by our home room teacher with rye laden slurpees, only to have him take it away and drink it in front of us while conducting the rest of the students. how’s that for irony.

funny what sticks in the old grey matter and comes back at the strangest time.

watching a movie in class tonight and flashed back to grade six, watching a video and holding hands with sheri merchant, the school hottie (okay, it’s grade 6 - hand holding was a big step). why that came back at that time is beyond me.

with any luck more of those memories will reappear to keep me amused - the spaces in between.
