Love Being A Kid

Its May 2009, it's 99 degrees outside and I have to wait until dark before I can go see StarTrek,'cause I can't breathe well in the heat, but that's the only thing keeping me home right now. I'm a Trekkie through and through. Got indoctrinated by my son back in the 70's who never missed an episode and knew every word of every script on every show during the series introduction. I got that way on Independence Day, know all the words.

We used to marvel at the forward thinking of Roddenbery, how did he know all that stuff? And it went on, after they brought StarTrek back to entrench it in American culture for life evidently, since it's playing in all the studios 40 years later. So I'm back to being excited about a movie like I was about StarWars, and too, The Wolverine, OMG that man is so fine, and I think the movie was pretty good but I'll have to watch it again since I wasn't looking at much of it the first time. I cant wait for it to come out on DVD so I can slow that run across the field where he jumps the fence part.

If my health would allow it, I'd still be in a field somewhere waiting on the ball to fall out of the sky, or laying on a wide tree branch with a book about horses, or riding them, and all the other things kids do, because I still want to do them. I have never known what my age felt like, I had no frame of reference. I didn't know how to feel at 35 or 55. Don't know how to feel now, but I know I want to see StarTrek at least 4 times!

Now, let's see, where did I put that video game I was playing....................
