It has some pretty personally significant elements in it.The first and obvious would be the original NES with the original R.O.B. I grew up playing video games. I wouldn't say that we were wealthy or even well off but we wanted a NES so bad, that we were able to attain one when it first came out. I was on that thing almost all day everyday until we got the SNES. Yes, I'm a dork. I'm a "gamer chick."
Another important part of this picture are my shoes. These are the very first pair of name brand shoes that I ever owned. My Adidas! I must have dreamed about these shoes a hundred times before I convinced my dad to get them for me when I was in the 6th grade. Before I got these, I always wore Payless and Kmart shoes, but there was no way that I was going to by the 4 striped adidas in Jr. high. haha. I remember going to the Footlocker to try these babies on. I was stoked. I still have them and I still fit them! haha. I don't actually wear them out these days, but I don't think I could ever throw them out.
I don't know where my rambling is headed. Perhaps what I really want to point out is that most of the things that I will never consider getting rid of have saturated a lot of the color yellow over the years. haha. Well, I guess I could say that it all winds down to this...Everything that I have ever truly wanted, I was able to eventually attain. To me this photo evokes a strong feeling of accomplishment. I feel good. haha. I just realized that I've been sober since June 9th and today's August 9th. =) Man, I'm suffocating on achievement. Um...time for me to get some sleep. I'll probably delete most of this nonsense when I wake up. haha.
