March
I also remember that they a talent show, one kid Matt played a guitar (but for some reason I remember it didn't make noise, it was an electric guitar, but with no strings or wasn't hooked up to anything.
I don't remember why, but I didn't participate.
I would've had too much anxiety to do anything like that at the time anyway, but I remember being impressed and thinking it looked super cool. lol
I remember being such a dork during this school year, Ghostbusters Two was coming out Come on I remember talking to the same kid Matt from the talent and another girl, I wanna say her last name's Moriarty. lol I'm pretty sure her mom was a teacher there across from Mrs Benoit.
Anyway, the 3 us used to talk about making Ghostbusters costumes, exploring the school and looking for ghosts. lol I was such a dork. Now that I'm an adult, I love dressing up for comic-cons. lol
July
1989?
After my grandfather died I remember going on a trip to the Bronx Zoo with my grandmother my aunt Mary my cousin Jeremy and Andrea on the bus trip there I saw a car on fire. Being fascinated about that place but the adults I was with didn't have the energy to keep up with me
Summer
This is the summer that I brought my GI Joe Night Force Hovercraft to the Hampden Wreck family picnic and floated it down the stream. This was the coolest time I've ever had away from home with my GI Joes.
The stream there isn't huge or fast moving, It's perfect for kids playing with toys.
They also have a tunnel that runs underneath the road, that leads to the water park, so naturally we would crawl through that every year.
Allowing the hovercraft to float through it on its own , was like it was on it's own mission, then when it popped out the other end and crash into pool we created at the end, this was after using rocks to slow the flow of the water after the tunnel and drop.
This was so much fun,
I wanted to do something similaer as an adult with the hovercraft I buy but I didn't get a chance to do that.
during the summers when we go to New York my aunt Connie had a hot dog stand I guess you'd call it on the side of the road it was called Connie's Michigan's and people would come over from Canada and it was like a well known place birds quality I loved going there.
So here’s a funny, messed up story. I was like 11 or 12 years old, and we were up at my Aunt Pearls house in New York, not her camp. I was playing near the garage with my Gobots, and this older female cousin (second cousin-twice removed) grabbed me and kissed me.
One of the adults saw it through the window and threw a fit, it was all her doing, yet I got blamed for that nonsense, not her.
All I cared about was playing with my toys in the cedar trees and lilac bushes that grew in her yard.
Those dirty bastards blamed me. Adults are so dumb sometimes.
I never forgot that.
It’s probably one of the reasons I never ‘make the first move’ now. I just wait. I think that moment wired something in me.
That stuff sticks, even if it doesn’t seem big at the time.”
Christmas earth this year I remember buying the Batman game for the Commodore 64 and I tried my hardest to get past a certain level but I kept getting stuck in a stairwell and I was never able to drive the Batmobile or fly the batwing
This is when I really remember starting sledding at Lynch
Mr Korhammer was one of the harder teachers I had to deal with. Him standing in the hallway trying to reprimand me in front of a group of adults and he told me I was like dealing with an alcoholic. I would love to have a deep conversation with all of my old teachers now to see who is more intelligent, who has better reasoning skills. lol I think my teacher's lack of intelligence really inspired me to learn more about humans and why they don't think, even though they can lol.
December
I bought Batman for the Commadore 64 for my brother, but I changed my mind and wanted to play it myself. lol I struggled with that game and was never able to get past the first level, I could never get past this stupid stairwell, or I went the wring way, I was so disappointed that I was never able to drive the Batmobile or fly the Batwing, and I tried countless times.
I think I got him a Transformer instead. lol
This Christmas I got a Lobo RC car, there's a link to our Christmas video below and I can see the conflict in my face at that time. I remember feeling a lot of anxiety and like I was under a lot pressure from my mother.
I remember being disappointed that got the white one, I had wanted the black one. lol. It was awesome, I wanted to take it everywhere, even though the battery didn't last more than a few minutes,
I still love RC vehicles and I debated buying another LOBO and then upgrading it, or just using the body, now I want to buy a white one and I no longer have an interest in the black one. lol funny how time alters your opinion.
