Atari is one of the greatest systems around.  Sure the graphics sucked, but the gameplay was one of the best.  Any of you new gamers who only play your XBox 360 definitely need to check this system out.  Get an emulator and download the 2 meg zip file of ROMS.

Many of my first memories occured while playing the Atari.  Sure nothing really happened but that was really significant, but kids just like having fun.

I remember playing with my neighbor Jason a bit.  I can even remember watching my mom play her favorite game, Mega Mania.  I also remember going over my uncle pauls and playing superman and spiderman in his basement.  In elementary school I remember going over to Chris Wade's house and playing Haunted House.  Riddle of the Sphinx is a game that my Dad used to play with us.  

I also remember shopping for them when the Atari was going out of style at KB Stores.

In 5th grade our teacherMr. Kowalski asked everyone to create a new product and to market it on a commercial that we would star in. How ingenous was that??

My product was called "Crusty Crunchies Dog Snacks". I loved being creative and I had so much fun making this all by myself. I vividly remember the day we put all of this stuff together.

During the big day of the commercial shoot, I had Liz Grant go into a room and we came up with the commerical. It was baiscally a knock off of another commercial.

The rules for the shoot of the commercial is that you only get three takes. On my first take, the class laughed sooo hard and there was so much noise that I decided to try again. And yet again the class ruined it. The third time was a charm, but when I finished the commercial I turned my head and smiled, but totally missed the camera (SEE VIDEO)!! It was hilarious.

This video is pretty much the only copy because every kid got a weekend to borrow it to watch and I was the only . . . Read More..

So EIEIA beach was one of my favorite beaches to go to.  Our family was never a member, but a lot of friends and family were members.

The coolest thing about this beach was the big dock.  The big dock took about 5 minutes or so to get to and sometimes you would be quite exhausted by the time you got out there.

This was about my second or third time coming out to that dock in 5th grade and I wasnt too good at swimming. 

Like you would suspect, I was tired and exhausted by the time I got out to the dock, but suddenly as I grasped for air, Theresa W. from my elementary school dunks me back in and held me under for a second or two. 

At this point, I didnt know who it was.  As I was dunked down in, I gulped a huge amount of lake water and retaliated by this infraction by coming up for air and punching the first thing I saw right in the face.  In the temple to be more exact. 

But this time it just so . . . Read More..

I took both David (owner of this site) and Danny (his brother) to Paul Abdul and Color Me Bad way back when. David & Danny were so young, they were not even into rap or hip hop yet. I got the tickets through one of my ex-huband's friends. We had great seats. Front row in one of the lower bowl seats. It was David and Danny's first concert. I was trying to party down as I was watching over my two nephews experiencing their first concert. I think it was probably a cool experience for both my nephews, but I do not think that they have been to too many concerts as adults. Maybe the entertainment we saw that night scarred them for life. I remember the next day David, Danny and I were supposed to go to the Roladium to go roller skating, and David was so tired from the night before, he started crying. I ended up having to take them home the next day instead of roller skating.

(David if you would like to add to this memory, have at it!!!)

Apparently my uncle Kirt saved my life when I was a toddler. Please give your recollection Uncle Kirt. I had no idea.
