Summers Rock When You're Eight
Monday, July 9, 2007, 09:30 AM [General]
Summers are great before you turn 9. At least that's what the cut-off was in my house. My dad was kind of a workaholic and couldn't stand to see any of his 4 kids just goofing off...at least after the age of 8, That's when he would put us to work in his "home office" (my dad was way ahead of his time)or in the yard, or the worst of all, assisting him with some doomed home improvement project like building a fire pit in the back yard. But until age nine, life was amazing. Watching TV all day, every day. Eating huge bowls of Cap'n Crunch in cold milk, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sometimes lunch was more extravagant... like a slice of individually wrapped cheese. Mmmmm. Wearing dirty clothes with the shades pulled against the sun until I was so saturated with cartoon images and cereal that I couldn't take it anymore and I'd wander back to my room and set up my army men all over the unmade bed. If I got bored with that, I would get distracted for the rest of the afternoon by the strange pictures in some children's book that used to belong to my grandma. I never read the book but the pictures were awesome. They were like these full-color illustrations of violent scenes involving kids my age...some of them were on fire, or hung upside down from a rope by their feet, or two kids squaring off beating the crap out of each other with blood all over their faces. My mom said that children's books were less politically correct back then. I had two major activities when I was eight. Little League Baseball was every Tuesday and Friday night. I played for Davis Lumber. I was the smallest guy on the team but that doesn't mean I wasn't good! The fact that I wasn't good is why I wasn't good. Then Saturday mornings were Junior Bowling. I'm not gonna lie...at age eight, I was a bit of a bowling phenom. I lived a block away from the bowling alley and practically lived there. I had my first two-hundred game at 7. By age eight, my average was 174. I still hate Craig Gold for telling me that "bowling is for goobers." Maybe I wouldn't have quit and I'd be a professional today! I miss summers as a kid, don't you?

Okay, I'm not "all soldiers all the time", I swear. I know my last blog was about Memorial Day and I'm keeping the same theme today. I just saw an amazing video on YOUTUBE that I would like everyone to watch.
I'll be honest...I'm not a fan of or a believer in this war. I thought it was a terrible idea from the very beginning, when I didn't see the obvious connection between terrorism and Saddam Hussein. I thought it would hurt our efforts in Afghanistan where we did have a very legitimate reason to attack. The reason I tell you that I wasn't in favor of the war (and risk getting hundreds of hateful emails that I'm un-American) is so you'll know at least one person who truly disagrees with the war AND passionately supports our troops. We're out here. After the war started, we began a campaign called "Operation Laughline" that sent thousands of comedy DVD's to the troops. It was suggested to us by a cool lady named Tracy Bristol whose husband was a helicopter pilot in Iraq . She told us that the guys were dying of boredom and needed a way to laugh and forget the day. We still get emails nearly every day from returned soldiers who write to thank us for the comic relief. We're blessed that we have the forum to do that. So anyway, the point in writing today is to share a video that I think is amazing. It's called "Remember Me" and it illustrates what I hear most coming from our soldiers in the gulf region..."Don't forget about us." Check it out when you can. I get both sad and angry when I watch this slide show, but most of all I feel extremely grateful and humbled that there are still those brave souls who are willing to do what others couldn't or wouldn't. -Kidd |
