Summer Camp

I almost forgot about this classic Nickelodeon show, I found out that they had a reunion last year at Comikaze.  It was about a group of kids and the mischief that they caused while away at summer camp.  I'll dive deeper into the show on my next blog.  But before I leave here is a clue.

UPDATE:  I haven't had a chance to rewatch the show yet, but I'm going to really soon.  *sorry*

Upcoming Halloween

Hey, I know that it has been a very long time since I've posted.  Life has kept me very busy!  It is already October 19, which means that it is almost Halloween.  It used to be one of my favorite celebrations as a kid, mainly because it just meant that you could ran around all over town and get high off of sugar.  Honestly, what kid wouldn't love that.  I'm going to write a more in depth post about this soon.

What are some of your favorite memories of Halloween?

More thoughts of Hey Dude: Season 1

After my initial excitement of actually getting to watch this series again, I put it away and haven't really watched it again until recently.  The nostalgia of it is still makes my heart patter, but now I'm watching it without my rose colored glasses.

I can say that at the time that this originally aired there really wasn't anything else like it on the air.  A bunch of kids working a summer job on a dude ranch, mind you they literally spent the whole summer at the Bar None Ranch away from their families.  Yes, by today's standards the acting is horrible and cheesy.  You would think that working on a Dude Ranch, there would be a lot of excitement and action.  Most everything was toned down, possibly because they didn't want the actors getting hurt?

Most of season 1 featured Brad and Ted arguing and tension between the sexes.  One episode even featured a boys vs girls competition.  They were on a DUDE RANCH, and the coolest thing we get it an obvious calm horse, trying to act wild while Brad calms him down to ride.  On the note of Brad, I have never heard of a girl named Bradley.

I don't think that this show would stand a chance by today's standards, but by 1989's it was alright.

SIDE NOTE:  I'm thinking of getting season 2.

baseball cards

If you were a kid in the '90's you probably had a collection of baseball cards.  In my collection, I have a variety of sports cards.Where I lived a pack was only 25 cents, and it included a stick of  gum.  I always ate the gum even though it was like chewing rocks, lol.

I still have a book full of cards, somewhere.  My question is... What do you do with them?  Did you throw them out?  Are you still collecting?  Did you hand them down to somebody?  Did you sell them?

I'm at a loss of what to do with mine.  Leave me a comment below.

A whole year older!

Well, I'm older now then I was  the last time that I have posted.  I had a great birthday, thanks everyone!

Do you guys have any birthday traditions?  I only had to birthday parties growing up, one was when I was in 2nd grade and the other was when I was in 5th grade.  The one I had in 5th grade was pretty awesome, we had a half day of school and we had a field trip to the circus.  Heck yes!!!  I had 4 or 5 friends over and we stayed up all night, played power rangers, circus, and poker.  We did have one kid who fell asleep, so we tortured her by putting bumble balls, remember those?, in her sleeping bag.  I don't think I have any pics of the actual party though.  Dang, times before cell phones, digital cameras/ camcorders.

We put 2 bumble balls in her sleeping bag, one lesson she learned is that if the birthday girl and everybody else is staying up all night long, then so are you!!  They might look soft, but they were hard and hurt if they bumped you wrong.  Man, I was evil!!!!

I found a YouTube video of what a bumble ball is, just in case somebody forgot/ doesn't remember.

zoo!

We went to the zoo for my birthday yesterday.  It was fun and I got sun burnt, ouch!  This zoo lets you pet and feed the animals.  I got a ton of pics and  video, but I haven't had time to edit everything out yet.  We fed lemurs, giraffes, birds, and rode on a camel. We also saw a ton of other animals and ate ice cream.  It was a lot of fun!

This camel is named Charlie, we couldn't convince him to go to Candy Mountain.

The lemur's love cranberry's.  (My sister is feeding this one.)

AHHHH...... Sorry!

I know, I've been bad.  I haven't updated in a month!  I'm sorry, I've just been so busy with work and school.  I will update again soon, I promise.

It's almost my birthday, which means  one thing ZOO!!!!!

My next post will be about all the wonderful adventures you can have at the zoo.  As a bonus, here's a pic of a giraffe <3
