Memories flooded through me‚ a storm erupting in my mind. Feelings sunk into my chest like a brick being dropped in a river; smashing into the water‚ crashing to the bottom helplessly. I was just an 8 year old boy. An 8 year old boy who craved love and attention off his dad‚ an 8 year old boy who would have run marathons

    Sometimes I bug some of the older members of my family about the old days. After all they are called the “old days” for a reason. But my grandparents insist on thinking that things were a whole lot better back then. I can’t imagine gathering the family around an old radio to catch the latest Joe Louis fight when I have a fifty inch high definition plasma TV with pay per view‚ hot wings and a big bowl of chips and salsa waiting for me. Sitting around a radio listening to a broadcast just doesn’t

    "The Joy Luck Club" isn ’t what most men would rush to see at the box office. It is‚ by general opinion‚ a chick flick‚ an epic tear jerker directed towards the sensitive side of people. By just that extremely brief description‚ I would guess a great percentage of males already have lost interest. Why?
