He-Man, ThunderCats, Ultraman, Voltron, and Transformers.

 

The movie Creepshow, any season Charlie Brown movie, Def Leppard, Metallica, bad hair bands like Poison, Whitesnake, Motley Crue etc....

 

Camping with my Dad, fishing with my stepdad, tubing on the lake, driving 7 hours north to Lac Vieux Desert and loving the entire trip.

 

Now I am feeling sad.....

Going to a school, drawing a box on the brick wall with chalk, and use that box as a strike zone while playng the game of "Fast Pitch" or as some would call it ...."Stike Out" with a rubber ball. Either playing one on one or two against two. Or..............if there were enough guys, playing league ball in the field with "All Fields Open." It was nice to play with all fields open, because if there were not enough guys, right field would be closed, and an automatic out if the ball was hit there. I'm a left handed batter, and guys would get sick of hearing me yell..."SWITCH FIELDS!!!!!" I haven't seen anyone play the game "Strike Out" in YEARS!!!!!!!!!!! A good 20 or more to be exact. Unfortunately..................outside baseball with friends is in the dark ages .........................with inside the home Video game mania taking over the world.

1) Disney movies (Lion King, Little Mermaid, Aladdin, etc.)... I watched a bunch of old Disney movies this past summer (right before leaving for college) and it really made me miss being a kid.

2) Watching kids interact with their dad/mom at the grocery store or somewhere like that - Man, I worshiped my dad when I was little, and I kinda miss those days when we'd just hang out and I didn't have school or anything else to worry about in the world.

3) Driving by my old elementary school

4) And more often than not, it's little things that happen that make me feel happy for my old childhood days.
