It has been an extremely long 16 going onto 17 years of life. Experienceing the phenomenon of advance technology. I believe that that we are the mostly influenced through music, television, and other disembodied activities. Which also proves Laing's theory of living off of experience. As a child I remember dreaming big. One of my mottos were to jump like jordan. If he can experience the fame, then i could also. A very competitive drive for basketball fame.
There are pictures of me 2 feet shorter then I am now. Every night i would jump around trying to dunk on my five dollar mini basketball hoop. Breaking it almost everytime. it's only 5 bucks. What was money to me?
My childhood revolved around objeccts not dollar bills. Action figures to bikes, i wanted the best. IO was spoiled but, I was enjoying every minute of anangry parental face. Basketball hoops were "needed", never only wanted. Memories of driving the guilt bss for my mother. Leading onto second visits to footlocker just to get the new in style kicks.
This unit helped me connect more into my childhood. Before this unit, I have lost the flavor of being young and wreckless. I've made decisions off of my knowledge then. If those choices were in my grasp today, I might be able to make a better decision. In comparison to drinking milk and playing easy but competitive board games, I have responsibilities to complete and my knowledge is tested daily. What was important to me then, is something I can't even imagine thinking about now. I actually imagined a conversation between myself and a 9 year old of me. The conversation wasn't really insightful but more demanding to do the right thing and to not be initimidated by nobody:
J: Hey. What's up? What are you up to?
YJ: Nothing much. I'm about to play basketball with my friends.
J: That's good. Keep pacticing. Just don't keep your hopes up seeking for fame as a professional.
Trust me youngin, your chances are slim to none. Focus more in your school work. Give up procastinating
and make it a habit to do your work as soon as possible, then enjoy hanging out. I know our tutor has been
pressuring you to do the best in the SAT's, just be calm and take the test as soon after taking SAT courses
at riverdale.
YJ: That is so much work. I will do that. How will I manage my time like that?
J: Listen you spoiled brat, don't disobey your uncle Charlie. He is a very influencial part of your life and ever if your
decides to move you to Queens, say no. Keep your friends close and don't be afraid to experiment with anything.
If you start your experimentation in college, always remember your limist.
My younger, in comparison to me, is more emboied and active. When I was younger I enjoyed going to parks and running around. Now a days my activities cut down all the running. I have become lazier but, responisble at the same time. I now know my limitations and expecations. My goals from my childhood are up and coming (college).

Childhood Memories
I tend to remember more happy memorateies then the sad ones. Scars do last for a long time as a rememberence of injury. Imagine waiting for a late night train. The station is empty and your waiting with a friend of yours to go home. An unordinarly tall women walks by. This lady is not only tall in hieght but had a mans figure of no other.
Embodiment
Most teenagers are disembodied due to the power of elecricity. Hours of mind trap into books and interesting plots. Season Episodes and Movie series proves the power of entertainment and Intrest of most humans.
