it's a hard-knock life...

do you ever get theme songs from movies you haven't seen in ages stuck in your head? this seems to happen to me all the time, this again occurred the other night in particular when I was at work. some "annie" theme music was running through my head (provided it was the middle of the night and I may have been a wee bit on the delirious side) I also had the overwhelming urge to watch this movie again, in addition to other kids' movies that I haven't seen in a while such as the little mermaid, and robin hood and quite possibly even aladdin. where I work it is a bit loud and I wear earplugs so I can pretty much belt out whatever show tune I want without anybody even batting an eye, however when they sneak up from behind you it can be a little disconcerting as I don't really care for anyone 'catching' me whistling, humming, or singing "tomorrow, tomorrow" as I work.

as I was wishing I could relive a bit of my younger years in watching some old movies, I decided that why stop there? what I really want to do is go home and sit in my living room in the middle of the floor in my pajamas watching tailspin or ducktales or something while eating captain crunch or some other such cereal that is filled with excellent nutrients such as sugar and artificial colouring. then play outside all afternoon; hide and seek, cops and robbers, tag, red rover, street hockey, the possibilities are really endless... then another thought came to me... I wonder if anyone would want to lend out their kid to me for a day so I don't look like a complete moron for partaking in these activities all by myself at my age, (unfortunately I know of no such person who would rent-a-kid for the day nor a child who is hyperactive enough to keep up with me) then after eating the classic lunch of peanut butter, jam and cheddar cheese, with ketchup chips and kool-aid of course, I'd stay outside for another round of activities. then when the day is finally over and I'm about to retire for the night, I would read my favourite kids' books like the berenstain bears, dr. seuss, jillian jigs and her wonderful pigs, and maybe some golden books, then go to sleep. it's just been one of those days...

okay so maybe I am the only one who wishes I could be a kid again (not just for one day though) and anyone who may be reading this are thinking, 'wow, you are wack', sorry guys but I really don't care... I am what I am.


oh yeah, and I did watch annie tonight, and it really is a hard-knock life, but there's always tomorrow.
