Numero Dos

For the past couple days it has been pretty cool to walk around thinking of different topics to write about for my next blog. Unfortunately it has been a few days since my last blog. For today's blog there are a couple things floating around in my head and I'll recap my last couple days to lead-in to this occurrence.

First I'd like to talk about Thursday. An old small group leader, took me and the guys out to Dave and Busters for the night, where we grabbed some grub and played some fun games. We had a meal that cost $15 a plate and you get a $10 "Power Card," which is like a credit card for games there. It took me a few games to master the swiping motion of the dumb thing.

After finally learning to swipe the card with finesse, me and the group found a really fun trivia type game and it had us hooked for the rest of the night. I wish I hadn't wasted some of my "credits" before we discovered this amazing thing. Based on my sole experience with Dave and Buster's, it acts like a Chuck E. Cheese for adults. Through the ranks of older people scrambling to find their next game with a mug in their hand, I saw a fourish-old girl right along with them whipping her Power Card with an experienced intensity. I almost tripped over my lower lip after watching her for a few seconds. This doens't seem too relevant, but that's the start of my topic for today's (early) blog. After a good 25 minutes of typing this blog is ready to go.

Yesterday, or you could say two days ago now to be technical, I was in Target with my parents after watching Bourne Ultimatum (good movie by the way, lots of action to last me a good while) and I noticed another young kid doing something that I thought unbelievable. At the video game section of the store this kid was playing some game on a PS3 and he looked like he had been playing it all his life. His coordination was surprisingly good. At that age I was lucky to play my Gameboy with much success.

As I'm starting to get tired, its a little after 12:30, I'll make the argument that kids are not being taught the "right" things these days by their parents. Of course, who am I to pass judgement since I am not a parent, thankfully. I will continue this post with my argument, hopefully sometime in the next 24 hours.

Until next time, hasta la vista baby.
