Sometimes no matter what you do … things are just not enough.
You’re a decent person.
Not enough.
You try your best, work hard, and you have a good heart, a good one.
Not enough.
You’re the John Cusack of this movie.
Still not enough.
It breaks my heart when good people who deserve good things end up with the shaft. I tried to be supportive with my friend’s situation, put a neon light at the end of the tunnel, but that tunnel is pretty damn long right about now.
I heard Cee Lo Green’s song … and thought of my friend.
Atari rocks. It’s a badass original.
It had Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Centipede, and Frogger.
C’mon, now.
I’d see my buddies in the neighborhood who had the game, and they loved it. They’d get lost in the challenge and in the fun.
XBox, I imagine, is the newer shinier version of it. The one with graphics and 3D stuff with guns blazing and blasters everywhere. All these Internet age kids enjoy it, it’s the glitz and glam of their generation.
But here’s the thing Atari is still cool. It was one of a kind. Groundbreaking, back in my day.
And just because something appears shinier and sparkly doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better. It’s just newer. It’s not 2.0. because it looks good on the outside, it’s what inside that matters. And sometimes newer ends up being better it does, but when we’re talking about things that mean something, shinier is not always better.
Substance matters. It’s always better than fluff. It’s too bad people forget that and good hearts everywhere end up broken and beat up, thinking they did something wrong or were unworthy.
They didn’t and they are …
So if some jackass thinks you’re not an XBox and that you’re more of an Atari, keep your head up. They don’t see your value. Atari’s are still cool, one-of-a-kind originals worth something.
They just can’t see it.
