    • I liked dodgeball too, but shootin hoops and basketball was my number 1, baseball or softball was a close second. So those were my things I liked on the playground, as well as also the swings, monkeybars, seesaw, slide, and the little merry-go-round thing. Well, it was mostly swings, monkeybars, etc. like in K, 1,2,3rd grade, more basketball, dodgeball, etc. 4, 5, 6th grade, but still loved the swings sometimes. I was never so much into football or wrestling (not to play but I loved watching) since I was pretty skinny in school, at least until my junior year in HS when I was really hittin the weights.
      I also played Nintendo obsessively when I was like 13, 14, 15. My favorites were Supermario Bros 1,2, and 3, Metroid, and Legend of Zelda. I also with my best friend played Mike Tyson's Knock-out (I didn't own that one). I didn't play Nintendo as much as I really got into highschool, but still enjoyed it when I had time. I never really lost interest altogether in it. I actually still prefer those games over all the new virtual stuff of today like Minecraft (which my nephew loves), I'm sure alot of that is nostalgia.
      Oh, I was in highschool from 1990-1994, was in middle school 88-90, grade school all through the 80s til 88. I loved riding my bike everywhere, riding down to the creek with my friends when I was like 9,10,11,12.
