Our stay on Earth is not long enough to question the universe.

Nickel Nickel

That one night sophomore year of high school, when Max, Jacob, Alex, Jack and I spent the night at Nickel Nickel playing unlimited video games after it closed and I sucked so bad at Crazy Taxi but was good at that speed boat game...that was the shit. I remember thinking about how lucky I was to be able to play arcade games for free. A couple years before that, I used to take a bunch of quarters and go to the Yogi's Amusement by myself and play I don't even know what. When I lived in Huntington Beach, I went to one of those nickel arcades for the first time. I went with a couple friends, maybe Long Hong or something, and my Mom came, and even when everything was just a nickel, I still felt bad when I went to my Mom and said I used all my nickels. I felt guilty I didn't play longer.

90210

This sunny fall reminds me of the summer of my seventh grade when I stayed at home every day and did nothing but watch television and video tapes from sun up to sun down. I feel like the original 90210 is going to be on in a few hours. I remember now how silly and stupid I was. After the episode when one of those idiots on that show was strung out on coke, I went into the kitchen, lined up a line of SUGAR, and sucked it into my MOUTH and thought I was cool. This is what this fall is reminding me of.
