home movies going in the trash
I am watching in horror as my past is being played out before me. Tell me that a video camera in the hands of any other 11-14 year old would bring these tears of sorrow for the un-clever and thoroughly unwise. I am currently watching myself pretending to be interviewed by one of my friends and saying many deplorable adolescent things of which I will not incriminate myself. It is a truly humbling and uncomfortable experience watching yourself with your whole family doing things and saying things that make you cry from horror that this is you! and really not all that long ago, only 10 years. Even worse I can see myself in these horrid home videos and I can place the same annoying behavior in adolescents I encounter that I may earlier have marked as never amounting to much and definately never being wonderful and charming people in the end. I now selfishly hope it is possible for my own sake. I apologize to my friends for all my bad humor. I am greatful to them for their loyalty. Excuse me while I go dab my eyes.

This reminds me of the days not long ago when my sister and I used to steal away with my dad's video camera and do the very same thing. At campmeeting one year we filmed the most horrific remake of Jurrasic Park that you could possibly imagine. I think that the star of the movie was "Britney Spears." I will say no more...
Keep them. Some day you will have to prove to you 6 fantastically weird named children that you too were a dork at their age. They won't believe you unless you have documentation.
Plus, I want to see them sometime!! I'm not even kidding a little bit.
