It was so simple then

Back when I was young and the most important thing to concern myself with was watching Gigantor at 3pm. I thought about this on the way to work today. But why complain it only took 1.5 hours to go 21 miles in typical shitty Seattle traffic... (I know I am part of the problem, but I am not such an idiot to rear end anyone and then sit in the lane an wonder what to do! Get to the side of the road idiot) During my drive I was listening to the new Nirvana compilation and I remembered, it could be worse...

Who says it won't sell in Peoria?

My prediction is that it will only get worse. Once Hollowood gets into the sim-ship mode for movies and the games, they will have a new way to immerse people. We are already seeing CD-ROM's in Happy Meals, why not PS2 versions of Femme Fatale for the kiddies? We will soon see a whole slew of sexually explicit material for gamers. Parents will be really challenged.

Maybe you should look at your teenagers skateboard wheels!
