This weekend started out like any other weekend. I got out of work Friday, and headed to the park with the guys for our traditional weekly kickball game. My friend James, who is nothing short of a kickball fanatic, showed us all his new ball. It was a beauty. The ball was a magnificent rubber gem, brand new and free from the usual wear and tear of our usual sporting equipment. It’s amazing how an object so simple, can bring so much childish fun to the hearts of grown men. The game was off to a dull start. The usual teams of the guys from Brown Street vs. York Street have created a predictable groove. Each player has realized the other’s abilities and this created a game where nobody was able to score. That is until I got up to kick (Little had my friends realized that I had been practicing kickball with my sons this week). The pitcher, Mikey D, rolled the ball towards me. I focused on the ball and kicked with all my might. The ball soared through the air, over the fence. It was a home-run! My buddies cheered and jumped for joy as I rounded the bases. It would be the only run scored that game. Our team, Brown Street, would be this week’s victors. It felt great.

One of my favorite TV shows is definitely Top Gear. UK show about cars. There are 3 men that are testing vehicles in an amazing way with a dose of fantastic British humor. Results of their tests are of course real and serious, they just present us in some hilarious way. Jeremy is “the smartest” one the other two can’t say a word against him, and he’s constantly making jokes on “hamster” (he called him like that because he’s small). Despite their childish behavior they are truly professionals and fantastic drivers. Every episode is a story for itself and I enjoy every bit of it.

I’m a college student at the University Of Delaware. I spend most days just sitting around, surfing the net. But not today. Today something odd happened. Out of the middle of no where I got a call today. An old friend from high school, a friend that I haven’t spoken too in years, called me up asking if I wanted to go to lunch with her. I agreed because, lets face it, who’s going to reject a blast from their past? So I go to lunch with her and really connect. Now I’m looking at a party invite for Saturday, and best of all, a chance to expand my friends list with old favorites.

Whenever I get tired of working and doing all the responsibilities expected of a “mature” adult, I sit back and enjoy my favorite PC games. I installed a PlayStation emulator on my desktop a week back, and it was such a joy rediscovering my favorite PlayStation games from the early 90’s. I can spend hours just immersed in my well-loved arcade games, and even my husband joins me in this activity, so it’s also bonding time for the two of us. My favorite games are Snobow Kids Plus (which we finished to the end the other day) and Crash Team Racing (which we are still struggling to finish until today). I think I will never get tired of playing them, and I know that whenever I need my daily dose of fun, all I need is to just turn on my PC and play those games over and over again.
