big

ok. i'm watching "big" on AMC. now usually i don't watch movies on cable because of the editing and all that. i like the movie alot, there's just something about it really that's hard to explain. i mean, most of our childhood was about waiting to grow up, getting out from under our parents' roof. and yet, we're not happy when we finally do. don't get me wrong, college was great but when you have to start worrying about bills, deadlines, and all the crap you have to think about as adults. what was so great about being grown up? sure i don't have a bedtime, no one's telling me to eat my vegetables, or nagging me about my homework but now i'm worried about making the money last to the end of the month, gas in the car, and work.
i'd like to have a job where i could play with toys all day, get paid lots and lots of money to do it. of course i wouldn't want to be as naive as tom hanks in the movie, but hey there's got to be some drawbacks. i can't be like that all the time at work.
huh, i think i understand why i like pinky and the brain, old cartoons i used to watch as a kid, and shows like "I Love the 80's" and the 90's. it reminds me of being a kid. maybe that's why i laugh at pinky and the brain, cuz i laughed at it when i was younger.
i wish i was big.
