that moment

today i decided to go to the theatre, the reason being i saw the new 'dragonball: evolutions' movie was out. this is one of those cartoons that i realized, 'man, i'm 21 years old.' yes, a few cartoons from my childhood have been turned into movies, but it isn't like this movie. my friends and i were enwrapped in this cartoon, i own almost the whole entire show on vhs alone. being honest, i wouldn't have enjoyed this film very much if it wasn't for the memories that are tied to it. nostalgia if you will, set in. remembering watching the 'freeza saga' uncut and waiting for the new movies to come out. talking about what could happen next with my friends, then sitting watching the spanish channel to see the up and coming cell saga! ahaha we were nuts about this show... the transformers was a big film, resident evil was one of those games that was like this (nostalgic) cartoon to be turned into a movie, the looking back thing. except I was 16/17 years old then. now it feels surreal like a lot of situations seem these days.

now i go to the theatre purchase my ticket and go to barnes and nobel to waste some time. i'm not there long, time passes really fast as i read some more of Exodus and Matthew. I grab my bag and enthusiastically walk over to go see the movie, a part of me is embarrassed that i'm going to see 'dragonball: evolutions' in the beginning... let alone, being alone to see it. i decide i need me a drink while i watch this film, so i go and buy this outrageously expensive 4 dollar medium (that feels more like a large to me) sprite. the girl that got me the drink was flirty, i figured since i was going to see 'dragonball:' the movie that was taken from an anime... confidence goes down a bit. i flirt back anyways, i'm a chump and it comes out a bit naturally. she was really really nice though and i like to see people smile, so i might just be over thinking. no matter what i'm glad to put a smile on someone's face. anyways, i go into the theatre and see 2 kids in front of me, they look about 14 years old. other people start to come in, a guy that is about my age sits behind me and sighs, 'i can't believe i'm here right now.' i just look back and say, 'i know, right? but it's the principle of the thing right?' he laughs and agrees with a subtle nod and a laugh. after this guy comes in a couple (a date movie i suppose? ahaha) then lastly is this older guy with his 5 year old kid. in which i knew he had to of brought his kid so he had a reason to come and see this film, dragonball was on toonami and cartoon network for a long time.

needless to say, it was worth the 7 bucks to have a look back. i'll most likely buy this movie, just because... a small reminder of a past and the aspects in the future. 'who i was and who i am.' all because of a tee.vee show that was on toonami, when moltar used to host. they left it open, so perhaps there will be more to come of our hero goku, bulma, chi-chi and master roshi. ahaha one could only hope, well my friends should. i'm gonna make then watch this and any others that come out. cause i'm awesome. ahaha

thank God for changes, thank God for friends, thank God for the word 'hope', and even more thank God for everyone out there. thank the Lord for you and me to exist.
