Do you wake up on saturday morning, run to grab a bowl of sugar coated cereal, and plop yourself in front of the tube to watch cartoons until noon? Do you still read books that are listed as "for ages 8-15"? Is your idea of a fulfilling and successful day watching every Star Wars movie, and then play KOTOR until three in the A.M.? Do dunkaroos and fruit roll-ups tickle your fancy?

If you've answered to one or all of the above, you are much like myself -- the eternal child. Sure, we may grow up enough to hold down a job, but deep down we can still derive joy from the same simple things that did so when we were all but a wee little child, or in my case a large child.

I kind of feel sorry for the people who can't turn the t.v. on and crack a smile when they see Alf. There's something rather calming about sticking to the childish side of things -- maybe it's because there's no responsibility tied to having a Star Wars marathon.

Where am I going with all this? Although you could probably write quite a bit about such a subject, I'm leading up to a small and more than likely anti-climactic announcement.

After much debate, I went with Chaotic cards. Why? Well the packs are cheap, and the cards have a very respectable value. Also, I have a feeling that they're about to explode much like Pokemon did oh so long ago. I bought a starter deck for Overworld, and bought eight booster packs to get me going. I managed to land an Ultra rare and a Super rare in the first lot which is a bit short of a miracle. I also learned how to play the game, and I have to say it seems pretty well set up and easy to pick up and play but has lots of room for strategy. I'll more than likely only buy a few more booster packs and then wait out the initial hype to see if it's really here to stay.

Two of the kids in that are in the summer camp I'm a leader at collect them, and they'll freak when they see that I have them too. I'm very popular with the guys because I'm the video game/card collecting dude. Being a kid at heart rules and I don't think I'll lose that part of me any time soon.

Have a good one,
