A Dream when I was Five

I was on my favorite show The Polka-Dot Door. It was centered on this house with a polka dot door and when you went inside you were transported into a place where games and singing happened all day. A wondrous place, full of color and laughs and now I was there. The two hosts and I went to the backyard to dance and play a game. When the music stopped you were suppose to freeze and try not to move at all. The music stopped and we froze, but the music would not turn back on again. The host would not move. I talked to them shook them but they would not budge.

And then I had the feeling that you only have in dreams, a lost lonely trapped feeling. It is the feeling that all of reality and time and life have disappeared and all that is left is you and the horrors around you. Would I wake up? Would I ever remember what it was that I forgot? Perhaps that is why I awoke screaming, it was like being born again, it was the realization and the remembrance; the embrace of reality.

Backlit Bliss

My brothers and I had a babysitter from across the field that ran down the middle of the complex. He was the eldest brother of a family that my family was close to, his name was Curtis. Being only fourteen he was a fun, and very probably, irresponsible babysitter. We would run crazy around the house and flip over all the sofas to make huge forts. And it was because of him that I saw the most beautiful sight I had ever seen up until that point, I was still five years old. He had a hand-held video game that was in color and backlit. It was this game where you just through up a ball and caught it or something simple like that. The game mattered little, it was the light and the sound; the game took place on the brightest summer day along a riverside walkway, over looking a beautiful cityscape. Birds stood still in the sky and white clouds were placed as immortal burst of light. And the thought struck me then of how amazing it was to experience this summer warmth when outside it was dark and winter and almost bed time. Here was a small piece of heaven in your hand that you could experience at anytime or place with an angelic midi-choir to be the soundtrack to this perfect day. Inside I was utterly elated, outside I exclaimed simply, “cool game, let me try!”

I thought about this experience whilst listening to this new music on http://www.8bitpeoples.com/index.html Check it out. So cool.

What I do to make myself feel better than everyone else

When crossing the street and a large truck or hummer is waiting for me, I walk extra slow.
