Journal Entry 16

I spent nearly all day long missing what used to be. I think I was daydreaming most of the day.  I was useless. I don’t think I accomplished anything.

A long time ago, back when there was television there used to be a show called “Cops”. I think it was called “Cops” but it might have been called something else. Anyway, it was somewhat funny. Criminals are caught by the police after they do something dumb. My dad would sometimes watch this show. I would sometimes watch it with him. On these days, my dad would wear pair of old shorts and a t-shirt. This was unusual because my dad was usually in a suit, even on his days off. My dad and I would pop popcorn and then we would sit on the living room couch and watch the truly stupid on TV. I miss those days.

Any way, I was listening to Daedalus on the radio this morning and he played the song “What you gonna do when they come for you, bad boys, bad boys.” before he announced the Tony and his gang have set up an office near the center of town. The memories came flooding back. I almost cried I started missing my Dad so much. It’s funny how a simple song could suddenly bring back memories you thought you had forgotten from the past.
