Ahh..good times :]

If you ask me one thing i remember from every year of my life i would say a lot of things ...starting with...
Pokemon.  
I remember when i was in 1st or 2nd grade, my mom would grant me and my brother 1/2 hour of tv. This would consist of pokemon.  I recently listened to the original theme song and suprisingly, it's pretty...inspiring.  haha take a look for yourselves...

"I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Each Pokemon to understand
The power that's inside
Our hearts so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokemon
Gotta catch 'em all!"

This is what I grew up on haha.  Suprisingly, pokemon's redundant yet addicting plots have taught me that evil will give up.  At every possible oppertunity, the bad guys will always attempt to somehow hinder you from acomplishing your dreams.  and it's strange, in pokemon, Ash doesn't always win every battle.  After every battle that he loses, he gets right back and to training harder. haha If they made ash win every battle what really would be the fun in that?  :P but it does have it's down sides too so : /

    Annyywwayy....mabye like 3rd and 4th grade I would say... Kim Possible.  Such a good show.  It's one of those genuine disney channel shows. Not like the stuff their putting out these days..  *bleh* XP It took me and my brother the longest time to figure out that if you take away the first letter in kim and Ron's name it's impossible and onstopable.  :]  Same thing with everyone in Kim's family.  Another fun fact. did you know that the voice of Terry Mcginnis (Aka Batman) in Batman Beyond, Eric from Boy meets world, and Ron from Kim Possible are all played by the same person?  wweerriid O_O!!

Eric from Boy Meets World

Terry Mcginnis/ Batman

Ron Stoppable

Werid right?  haha

So... moving on...5th and 6th grade. WITHOUT a doubt, Hands DOWN, Teen Titans.  I really like how it was animated..it's like american with a hint of japanese...I was so crazy about that show it was riducolus...(wow im bad at spelling).  XD haha I would used to get a bunch of the episodes on my computor and make music videos from them.  I got pretty popular on youtube from that too surprisingly :P  ended that after a while... haha but it was good...  i don't know.  Now that I look back at it.  I'm glad I stopped that overly obsessive craze over Teen Titans.  I actually wish that I would have stopped going so crazy earlier.  Every good story must end sometime.  And if we try and try again to relive the first time we every watched a good cartoon like Teen Titans i doesn't work...  : /  i guess to respect the qualities of certian things, we shouldn't over obcess about it... cept' for Christianity..cause that's always a new story everyday...sooo awesome.

hmm ok 7th to 8th grade... i think there was some justice league with some calvin and hobbes the comic mixed in there... man i love those things haha.. well i already wrote a rant on justice league so i won't talk about that...but Calvin and Hobbes... BEST. COMIC. EVER. I don't know if Bill Watterson (creator/writer/drawer of Calvin and Hobbes) was christian or not but he seemed to have very christian themes in Calvin and Hobbes... O_O.  Fun Facts: Calvin the miscivious 6 year old was named after John Calvin the philsopher.  Hobbes was named after Thomas Hobbes..also a philospher.  Mrs. Wormwood is named after Wormwood the jr. devil from C.S. Lewis' character in The Screwtape Letters.  I remember I really liked that book too :] .. anyway this is one of my FAVORITE comic strips (Jane I bet you'll like this)... 

Usally kids like denis the menace will use the excuse "oh i didn't know i wasn't supposed to do that" but not Calvin.  Here, Calvin outrightly knows he's being evil.  It's hilarious! 

Well if you asked me right now what i would shows or comics or idk books i really like i would probably say something like CHUCK!! :D It's like comdey/action/drama...okay first of all...they may reuse a lot of plot lines like the whole "oh this person died...but not really"....card.  They did that like THREE TIMES!! but it is good.  You really see the character development in Chuck over the episodes. and Chuck and Sarah are SOOOO cute!! :D

anyway that's my quick ever view of shows/comics over the past few years.  I'm getting a slight bit into the dc graphic novels.  I started with a couple superman stuff - "Whatever happened to the man of tommorow", "For the man who has everything" and i got some batman too :D - "the killing joke"

all by Alan Moore... he has a interesting view on reality...almost similar to Charles Williams.  anyway favorite quote from graphic novels so far..

"Memories are what our reason is based upon, If we can't face them, we deny reason itself" - Batman: Killing Joke

annndd

"This is an IMAGINARY STORY about a perfect man who came from the sky and did only good.  It tells of his twilight, when the great battles were over and the great miracles long since performed; ... It ends with a wink...Away in the big city, people still sometimes glance up hopefully from the sidewalks, glimpsing a distant speck in the sky... but no: it's only a bird, only a plane.  Superman died ten years ago.  This is an IMAGINARY STORY... Aren't they all?" - Superman: Whatever happened to the man of tommorow. 

That last quote made a lot more sense to me after i read the comic so i guess that would give you incentive to read it?  haha ...but that last part (Aren't they all?).  it's worth discussing. ;]

ahh...good times, good times

P.S.S. sorry for my grammer and spelling mistakes..not my strongest area :]

Childhood Days

      So I recently went to a wedding ( in which I caught the bouquet for the first time :] really beautiful wedding :]... anny way I saw some old childhood friends.  It's amazing how images in your mind stick.  Like I see some of these friends sometimes once a week or other different childhood friends 3-4 times a year.  and all around, when someone mentions their name i just remember their face as a 7 or 8 year old.  Regardless of how often I see them or how old they really are.  It's uncanny.
     When I was a kid my family would always take vacations with another family.  They have a son that's roughly a older or more than me.  Up until he turned 13(?) I was always taller than him.  After than he shot up.  haha in my mind I'll always remember short boy who was older than me and as the kid that teased me and pulled my pig tails.  Now when I look at him or see a picture of him i'm just like "woah".  when did we get so big? 
     Same with another one of my friends.  Now this person I see at least once a week.  I was also taller than him until he turned..wait...i think im still like 1/4 of an inch taller :D.   But when he was 12(?) he got glasses.  and now the name and the face just don't go together.  My brain seems to have set his 8 year old baby face without glasses too his name. 
     It's werid what the human brain does huh?  I think this has happened to me because i still haven't realized how fast everythings passing by.  Time goes by pretty fast.  Friends grow up (literally upwards).  We're all getting older.  and life's getting harder.  There are just times I wish soo badly that I could go back to being a 2nd grader and living a carefree life.  Easy homework..plenty of friends...when the biggest problem I had was "why do people keep pulling my pigtails?" 
    But no.  I can't do that.  I can't live in the past.  Life is hard because it presents an oppertunity to grow as a person.  If life was as easy as it was when we were 6 years old, then we might still have the maturity of a 6 year old.  I sometimes wonder if life is hard just so that the rewards of certain hard obstcales seems worth so much more.  I also believe that with every hard point in life, it creates a new oppertunity to learn to trust God.
    It's time to move on.  We're older now. The reality is childhood friends are taller than me now. Time is flying by faster than ever.  and life is just presenting new oppertunities for me to trust God to develop my character.  Wow, I sound old.  :]

The Incredibles and Christianity.

It's dead week.  I should really be studying for finals but haha they'll tend to themselves sooner or later I guess.  :P  Anyway I was thinking the other day of The Incredibles.  Awesome movie. 

How does any of this have to do with Christianity?  Well think about it for a sec.  Who, as Christians, do you think we should be?  Should be be brave and daring and ready to doing anything for the side good at all times like Mr. Incredible?  Maybe we should be like Mrs. Incredible, flexible enough to work through tough situations.  These are great suggestions.... but we should truly be like...

 

Incrediboy. 

At his age, Buddy was a fan boy, he followed Mr. Incredible willingly into danger.  He tried so hard to be like Mr. Incredible it was really incredible haha.  He might have gotten in Mr. Incredible's way sometimes, but I meant well at the time.  Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to relate God to Mr. Incredible because well, Mr. Incredible is human he makes mistakes too.  But what we should not do, is become Syndome.  The moment we try to do so, we turn our backs against everything that we are supposed to love and aspire to be like.  So yeah go forth and be a fan boy. :]
