What one object/thing would you take if your house were on fire?

without a doubt i'd take my case of video tapes. all the footage i've filmed over the last 6 or 7 years couldn't be replaced. homevideos are priceless memories that bring back insane laughter and almost always tears. not to long ago, i put together alittle video of family footage that even brought my gangsta sis to tears. i'll have to upload it when i find out how. theres nothing like seeing images of yourself and remembering what it was like to be you back then. seeing how much you've change. feeling how much you've grown. knowing that you lived and loved life in those precious captured moments. 

sometimes i can't wait until i'm old and looking back. saying to myself, "i was beautiful. i was kind. i was happy." this morning i was driving back home enjoying such a lovely day. i seen this little old women walking from her mailbox, mail in hand. i had to pass her on the way to my driveway and i just hoped she would turn, smile, and wave the way it seemed to happen in the movies. and she did. not exactly like the movies but in her own little way. and my face lit up like a child just because. cheers to friendly people. 

back to video tapes... a few years ago my apartment was broken into. labtop, digital camera, and camcorder gone forever. at first, i was angry that it happened. then i told myself, "they were only material things, i'm the same person without em." i just wish i could've kept the writings i wanted nobody to read, the photos i was proud i'd taken, and the footage to a project i'd worked really hard on.
