NaBloPoMo15: Not going very well

Mia1 Comment

Here we are, Monday again and time for the 2nd week of NaBloPoMo. My contribution doesn’t really look good. I started a post yesterday but today the same enthusiasm is gone. That happens a lot. That’s one of the reasons I have a few drafts. I probably never finish them. I get an idea and have a lot to write about but the next day it’s all gone. That’s what happened today.

I’ve also had a lot of other things to think about besides blogging. I haven’t even written my fictions in a while. I just haven’t had the motivation. I get bored easily and when I do, I don’t feel like doing anything. Just watch comedy shows online or other internet stuff.

The post I’ve started yesterday was possibly too personal and I rather not write about that. Maybe the blog post idea wasn’t that good anyway. But like life in general, never give up. I will get through this writing challenge no matter what it takes. The same with the blog post. If I only would feel that confident in other issues.

NaBloPoMo15: Toys R me

Mia2 Comments

NaBloPoMo15 has started. This is my first of November. You will see new post every day. Hopefully. Let’s gets some toys out there. Which is the subject of today.

You would think, me being a girl my favorite toy would be a doll. But that’s where you are wrong. It wasn’t dolls, it was cars. Being a tomboy was more fun. Of course I had dolls too. But cars were my thing. That was the reason I loved the TV show Knight Rider. It was all because of the talking car, K.I.T.T. That was the coolest thing ever. I’ve seen a replica of it in real life. I even named one of my chimpanzee dolls after it, Kit.

My best friend at the time had one of those Cabbage Patch Kids dolls. But I didn’t want one of those. I wanted a remote-controlled car. All I got though was a remote-controlled car with a cord in it. I could have sworn I still have the car somewhere but I can’t find it anywhere. Otherwise I could have taken a photo of it to put in this post. Anyway, when you played with it, you had to follow it. When I saw kids having theirs where they could control the car from a far, I was a bit jealous.

Now as an adult, you see things in different perspective. If I had toys I wanted when I was a kid, they would just be somewhere collecting dust. They probably wouldn’t even work anymore. When parents buy toys to their kids, they should also think about the future. Those kids will grow up and all you have left are unnecessary stuff in your closets. The problem with toys are that it’s only fun for a while. It’s about quality and not quantity. It’s better to have just a few toys than a lot.
