Over the holiday weekend, I spent a lot of time listening to my old cassette tapes and mp3s that I have made from my old LPs.  A lot of that stuff was from the early 80s and got me to thinking about my early high school days.  I’m not one of those people who get to their 40s and romanticize their teen years.  I absolutely hated being a teenager and remember how bad it was.<\/p>\n

However, it wasn’t all bad.  The music was pretty cool.  Joe Jackson’s ‘Stepping Out’ still gives me chills with its beauty.<\/p>\n

Today, I am scanning a bunch of paperwork to make PDFs.  I hate scanning paperwork to make PDFs.  I would much rather skip work today and go play games at the arcade.  Yes, I know there aren’t any arcades anymore, but it’s my workday fantasy so just run with it.<\/p>\n

The games that I like are the ones that I was semi-proficient in.  Star Castle, Robotron, Galaga and especially Tempest.  I never got too far in any of those games, but I was a lot better at them than I was at Defender or Stargate.<\/p>\n
