"Good Evening ladies and gentlemen, this is The Todd Blog typing out all your literary favorites, we've got a wonderful list lined up for you tonight. So if you're out there maybe sitting in your living room or on a late night cross country summer car ride, you can sit and think about your high school sweet heart, those cool summer nights, the unstoppable acne, and how it felt when you held each other until you saw the sun come up over the horizon. Well enough of that at the top of the hour its me Todd Blog Signing off"
Right after work today some friends came over, and though its always fun to chit chat and joke around, a movie was on. Not just any movie we are talking Toy Story (now the post title is making sense). When you watch anything really- TV shows, movies and you see child actors from when you were a kid, you think "Wow, that kid really looks different. He's gonna be around a while." or "Oh my God, I really wish his career ended after this show". I am sure names like (for my generation) Amanda Bynes (all that) , McCullough Culkin (Home Alone), Raven Symone (Cosby Show, Thats So Raven), or Danielle Fishel (Boy Meets World) ring maybe a slight bell. The first one I think of, is Andy from the Toy Story, because I mean technically though he's not really a person he is growing with my generation. Toy Story 3 is coming out and Andy is going to college. I think that's what made Toy Story such a good movie he was a 3D animated illustration (seems like an oxy-moron) of my generation. Same toys, same worries, same kid. I remember losing my Jack Skellington doll that would speak when you pushed his stomach. "Eureka, I've done it!" must have drove my parents nuts, but as any kid would I lost it once and was heart broken I am sure we all have the same stories in a different way. Can't wait to see the new one.
I think after today I'll refrain from posting on weekends, its kind of late by the time I can get on here and its hard for me to think straight. That's actually a nice segue into something I had planned to explain. My blogging "procedure" as of right now. You can tell by my time stamps that I write around 6-8 depending on the night... well that's actually misinformation- I start, writing around 6-8 and don't post till now... and despite what the time stamp says now is... 12:19. I write get up walk around a bit think of more to write sit back down. Grab a waffle, feed the rest to my dog. Look out the window, pace around my house, read emails look on Facebook and write the rest. Then I re-read what I've written fixing any major typos and post it. So the lovely little time ranging from 6-8 is not when I actually finish my posts,
Going to keep it short today though not a lot happened today, worked ALL DAY! If you are a new "reader" then its a perfect opportunity to catch up on my first two posts and I hope you enjoy them. COMMENTS! Questions, comments, concerns... If you left/leave me any comments I'll get to them Monday, kind of wanted to keep this post more concise. I would really love to hear from you though I probably say it too much its true. Thanks.
