Hell, now that I recall some of the things I did, I guess I'm lucky to be alive!
I remember one time, I found a bag in the basement of my neighbors house with some bullets in it. I called up some friends, we got some gasoline, and went in the woods. We lit a fire and threw some in it, then ran like crazy. One time I just barely got missed! What the hell was I thinking?!
The old playground my mom would take me to had this huge slide, about 2 stories high, in the shape of a rocket ship, you would climb to the top, and go down that hot ass metal slide in the summer. The whole structure was really shakey too. I always thought it would just crumble one day. Good times!
Sleding was the best! I would always look for a bigger hill. When I was in the 4th grade, I went to a school that had a steep slope, that was made of rocks, that led from the 3rd floor level, to the ground level which was the playyard. It was a real nice snowstorm one day, and I decided that would be better than any hill. Nearly shit my pants going down, hell, I probably did. Again, lot's of fun!
I seriously feel bad for kids today. It's all about video games, tv and online. If I sat in front of the tv all day, unless I was sick, my mom would turn it off, and make me go outside. Hell, she never had to! I always wanted to go out. Toss the football around, take my model rockets, and bend the rod so I could now launch them as little missles at shit LOL, go ride bikes, etc.
Remember when there was the one fat kid in school, and everyone made fun of him? Now you look around, or visit an old school of yours, you will see the fat kids are now the majority. I guess watching tv, and playing video games all day won't just rot your mind, but your body too!
ps. I did love my atari 2600 and c64 though. Always good for late night fun.
