Feeling a Lil' Nostlagic!!!!

It's 12 something and I'm thinking about how quick the summer is ending and of course that has me in the mood to kick back under the blankies (and yes that's without a hubby unfortunately LOL:( and watch my favorite movie, "Crooklyn." Earlier on I reminisced with my sister about how summer in Crooklyn use to be. I remember the times when we just lived to go outside and have fun. It was nothing like staying out until the street lights came on, playing "red light green light...," riding your bike in packs, feening for the ice cream truck to come up the block and having stupid arguments over double-dutch and who's hair was longer(LMAO). If you had a big family or lived on a crowded block full of other kids I'm sure you can reflect as well. Before we we're self-proclaimed hustlers up at the crack of dawn on the grind we all kicked it on the stoop of the neighbor that hated us from sun up and sun down playing truth or dare. Ahhhhhh and remember how we just reveled at the fact we could sneak feels and kiss behind the tree. And to think we didn't care if playing outside all day made us smell like sweat, cheese doodles,candy, dirt and sticky icies (LOL). Feels like yesterday right?...Fast forward to today and think about the responsibilities that we face as adults now, shitttt it's kind of hard to do that now. But, anyway I guess I'm missing that feeling a little bit.....

Here's two clips from Crooklyn!!!!!

ahhhhhh...now I too am feeling a bit wistful. Back in those days the summer just seemed longer. Now it just feels like a few blended days of family vacations, casual Fridays, and backyard cookouts.

Why did we decide to grow up again?
