Don’t lose your dinosaur by YB3

So I go to the movies a lot. I go so much that at this given moment its probably 2 movies out that I haven't seen yet. Its safe to say the movie theater is a second home for me. This blog is inspired by a movie surprise!

Friday night I saw "Step Brothers" and yes it was funny as hell. A key moment in the movie for me was a conversation the dad had in the movie with his son. He tells him as a kid he wanted nothing more than to be a dinosaur. He spent hours upon hours pretending to be a T-Rex until one day his dad said "Stop being a f****** dinosaur". So he stopped, but he told himself after medical school he would always come back to being a dinosaur. But he never did. "So son don't lose your dinosaur".

What I took from this was, don't lose that childhood or youthful thing that makes you happy. That cherished memory or activity that makes us unique or keeps the kid in us alive. If you are like me then you lost your dinosaur a long time ago. I mean seriously, I think about how simple life used to be. No worries and just so much freedom. Hell I even remember thinking "I can't wait till I'm older so I can ...." Now most of the time I just wanna be a kid again. I've become so much of an adult Jeffrey the Giraffe sent me a letter in the mail saying my Toy R Us membership is expired. It is no longer a place where THIS KID can be a kid.

So much is going on today. My worries used to be what me and my buddies gonna do for fun today. Now inside my head its like a rush hour traffic jam. Hundreds of thoughts all trying to get to a destination but none of them can go anywhere because in turn they are blocking passage. Meanwhile, all I wanna do is be a T-Rex. Well not a T-Rex, my fav dinosaurs were always Pterodactyls but I've digressed. My point is maybe the world or maybe our immediate worlds would be much happier places if we just held on to our dinosaurs.
