"Only the coolest of cool people would write this quote" - ELTACO



Children dream. And whether you call it 'make-believing' or 'pretending,' all that matters is that they have this inept creativity and imagination dwelling within them. As they grow up and mature, these random actions play occur less and less until they become obscelete. Eventually they become ashamed of these past displays of 'kiddish' behaviour. But why?! Why should we be embarassed? We all did it. And if my memory serves me correctly, we had the times of our lives doing it. Of course i know that i must mature and become responsible and blah blah blah. But sometimes we need that release. We need the urge to feel young again. But we are bounded. Bounded by perception and in my particular instance, bounded by the fact that i have nobody to play 'make believe' with. So instead, I shall reminisce about the good ol' times when i had no cares, no responsibilites... except fighting off evil people with my mad ninja skillz.

I was young, probably about 5 or so. My two older cousins, who had already help invent many ways to pass the time, and I were truly inspired by the film "The Three Ninjas." A movie about three brothers who fight some badass black-belts to save their grandpa. So like any other kid would do, we BECAME the three ninjas. Running around the front yard, climbing up and down the stairs, we totally ninja'd the entire house. Vivid memories of our invincible kung fu abilities still stain my mind. We thought we were unstoppable. We even had our "secret move." Which was usually holding up TumTum to do his awesome jumpkick, but because our colt was the smallest, he made an easy substitute. This continued for months, though i know not why we stopped. We were warriors, not to be reckoned with.

So yeah, that was one of my many imaginations. Oh, How i long to dream big like that again.
