I guess I never really grew up after all.

     When reflecting on the things that consumed me as a child that I rarely do now, I find that I never really grew up. I had a hard time coming up with things that entertained me then that I don’t still do now, most of my time was spent sitting on the floor in front of the huge wood stereo console listening to my moms records and recording my favorite songs from the weekly top 40 radio broadcast every Sunday onto cassette tapes. Although my methods of collecting and listening to music have changed through the years, music is still my passion. I also loved watching Saturday morning cartoons, Looney tunes was my favorite and I am still as entertained by it now as I was back then. The one thing that I loved as a child that I don’t do now was roller skate. I learned at an early age and from then on it was what I could be found doing most every Friday and Saturday night into my early teens. I was never really into sports but I dreamed of being part of a roller derby.  I often find myself longing to put a pair on and see if I still posses the skills I once did.
