Back In The Day
Today as I call up numerous automated systems to pay numerous bills I have come to the conclusion that I too feel like Ahmad. You know "back in the day when I was young I'm not a kid anymore... But some days I sit and wish I was kid again." Well maybe I wouldn't feel this way if I was the person who had the idea to charge people 4.95 for paying a bill over the phone all because they want to wait until the last minute to pay their cot damn overpriced Gas bills. Death to Bill Matrix!!! Anyway, I was thinking I haven't really changed much from the kid that use to go to school and laugh at the teacher b/c she thought homework was so important, b/c all i had to do was listen to what she was saying while I drew in my mead spiral notebook the flyest Snoopy dressed in baggy jeans, a sweaters, gold chains, radio on the ground bumping the hottest tunes and a gun in each hand. (hey I listened to rap music) I remember the teacher would always get on me for not handing in homework but I told her I'll ace the test so don't worry. Ace the test is exactly what I did. And now on any job training I still do the same thing draw on the Microsoft word or power point templates printed out while they talk about all the ways the new systems or procedures are changing. So have I really changed much?
Another childhood habit I have is when I eat my Cookies and Milk, Yes Xilla loves milk and cookies. I'll be sitting down watching the all morning reruns of Sportcenter as Lebron James dunks on the whole team from the 3point line with my thumb and index finger immersed in some ice cold 2% milk and before I know it I'll pull my fingers out and there is only a small portion of the cookie left of it's round chocolate chip circle goodness. But I don't get mad I simply continue to dunk b/c I know after I had my fill of chocolate chip cookies there is one sitting at the bottom of my glass of milk that will be the best cookie in the universe. Gulp after Gulp of Ice cold milk will be devoured and when its all done. A mass of cookie mush will slide down the glass and join its cookie brothers and sister in my belly. After 27 years this is one of the perks of being a kid that I can't give up. Sometimes I'll just throw a cookie in the milk for shits and giggles. It's great.
So I ask you all today What are some Childish Habits that you still hold on to today as an adult?
