Injuries

I recently about broke my arm, I apologize for the lack of updates.   It got me thinking about an injury I got as a young child.  This happened when I was 5.

My dad and I were playing soccer inside the house, which was a no-no.  Anyway, I always played goalie. I stopped the ball with my foot and slid off landing on my arm.  I wanted to be brave like my hero, Kris Peat, who was a goalie of a local professional team.  But I couldn't, I started to bawl my eyes out.  My dad waited until my mom got home with the car and took me to the hospital.  I ended up with a sprained arm and had to be in a stupid sling.  I think that was my worst injury as a kid, even though I'm VERY clumsy.

What has been your worst injury as a child?

Nickelodeon

I got a chance to watch a little Nickelodeon at my mom's house the other day, and boy did it suck! I know that everything changes, and I'm fine with change. Do I feel bad for kids these days? I have a question for you. What was your favorite Nickelodeon show growing up?

I liked Rocko's Modern Life, all the SNICK shows, Salute Your Shorts, and GUTS. (Just to name a few)

P.S. I always wanted to visit Nickelodeon Studios, but sadly we can't anymore. As it was sold, and the Blue Man Group perform there now.

Favorite Toy

Did you have a favorite toy that you saved your money up to buy? 

I remember really wanting a skip it when I was about to turn 8.  I asked for one for my birthday, and when I didn't get it.  I was so upset and saved my birthday money and did extra work around the house to get it.  A couple weeks later I went to K-mart and bought a yellow skip it.  (They only had yellow and pink.  I HATED pink when I was yonger.)  I remember being really excited about it.   Literally a few minutes after we pull up the drive way, my grandmother who missed my birthday came over.  Her present to me, a pink skip it.  Needless to say, at first I was disappointed because now I had two skip its.  What was I supposed to do with that?  To be honest though when my friends came over it was nice to have two of them.    I'm glad that skip its are still around. My cousin who's 10 now has one too.   Yes, I played with it, lol.

For those of you who don't know what a skip it is.  Watch the video below, they are so much fun.

TURBO

Power Rangers Turbo.  I remember the excitement I had when I first saw the trailer on tv. "OMG!  Jason and Kimberly are back!"  I remember when we got done watching the movie how awesome it was.  Rocky was finally gone, they had a female pirate for their new enemy, they had awesome car zords.  Then I watched it not to long ago and realized that it sucks butt!  It is complete crap, the little kid was annoying.  Dinosaurs are way cooler than cars. The only cool part, for me, was that Jason and Kimberly came back.  I still like this movie better than the first. (My personal opinion)

Here's a funny anecdote. I saw this in the movie theatre, during spring break.  My younger sister and I begged our grandma to take us to it.  Luckily our spring break was a week before the city kids, so the theatre was pretty empty.  Except for a handful of kids around our age.  We acted like we weren't seeing power rangers, and so did all the other kids. But what was funny was that we ALL ended up seeing the Power Rangers movie.

Happy Easter

I hope everybody has a joyous and full Easter holiday.  But don't be like me and dye your hands green!

YouTube

I'm taking a step back to say that, "Yes, I am kaelancer from YouTube and yes, my YouTube channel got banned.  Stupid 東映アニメーション株式会社!"  But that's okay! I have a new YouTube channel.  I haven't posted anything on it yet, but I'm not going to upload anymore Super Sentai stuff.  



Next blog we're going to look at both Power Ranger Movies!

The original gameboy

This year a got a DS lite and was immediately brought back to childhood and the memories I had with my Gameboy.  I only had the original version, which meant that I saw seaweed green.  It was the best Christmas ever!  My parents also got me Super Mario Land to go with it.  They even had enough money to get my younger sister one too. It was such a huge deal to me to have my own handheld system. You could play it whenever you wanted and play what you wanted.  I also saved up and bought the TaleSpin game for mine.  It wasn't a very good game and rarely played it, because it was so hard and some stages where so dark that you couldn't see very well, especially when everything was in a black or greenish color.  My favorite game by far was Super Mario Land. I'm not a gammer and don't pretend to be one, but that game was challenging, but was also a lot of fun.  (I still don't think that I have ever beat it)

I remember being very jealous of my cousin because he had an NES in his bedroom, a Gameboy, and a Sega Game Gear.  My Gameboy still works, and just sold the system, the Super Mario Land game, TaleSpin game, and the carrying case on ebay.  I desperately needed the money and if I knew how little I would have gotten for that lot, I would still have them in my possession.
