Video games
 

"Video games are my best thing to do. My friends Mat, and Brian have colecovision I have it to. Rosemary hase atari. I just had my birthday, and I got two cartidges Venture, and smurf. I like them very much."



Cleaned out the attic in my mom's house this weekend, and came across this I wrote on an index card, probably when I was 7 or 8 circa '82 or '83. Sad how little I've grown since them.

Did you used to be retarded? If so, you've recovered nicely.

No. He was just 7 or 8, foo'!

You got two Coleco cartridges for your birthday? Damn, were your parents millionaires?

:D

Smurf was awesome... but then again, so was Venture!

My friend Doug had Smurf for Colecovision. I used to go over to his house ever day to play that damn game, despite the fact that his bed-wetting little sister had a disgusting crush on me.

sometimes you have to pay the price

I had to do a search for Venture. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaVxr8Mt6og

I found a similar note written by my younger brother a few years back. It was something like "I am friends with Chris P. He has a super nintendo. I like to play games on it. We have a sega genesis. My older brothers play a dumb football game on it all the time."

Yeah, I feel that way about Madden players now still ;)
