While I was listening to my "Childhood Vibes" playlist, I suddenly remembered how cool and fun the old silhouette iPod commercials used to be! I remember seeing the ads all over the place on TV, in magazines, and on posters. I thought they were totally the coolest! Then again, I was a 9 year old back in 2004, so there were a lot of things I thought were cool, even if they were just commercials/ads. Cut me some slack! :]

I also specifically remember a time where it was a trend to draw your favorite characters in said iPod commercial style, and those images/drawings/edits were EVERYWHERE online back in the 2004-2008 era. I just started feeling nostalgic for that iconic campaign, so I decided to draw my OCs in it for a fun throwback! Fun, silly, worth it! ...I miss my old iPod nano now LMAO

Finally got around to finishing this! I was feeling really nostalgic the other day and decided to draw my top two childhood faves from the video game world! As a kid, I played the games Klonoa: Empire of Dreams, and Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland A LOT. I would spend HOURS playing these games on my GBA! Both games played a massive (and awesome) role in my childhood!

Funny how both games coincidentally revolved around dreams, but they were fun! These were probably the two games I played the most as a kid! Both Klonoa and Kirby will always hold a super special place in my heart. I also had Klonoa 2: Dream Champ Tournament, and Kirby and the Amazing Mirror for GBA too, and I played those just as much! Good times man, good times!

Every time I write in my journal I think of this goofball. I loved this show so much as a kid and I still love it tbh, such a classic lol

I'm not sure what brought back the memories of this little robot pup, but I wanted to draw it for old time's sake! When I was a kid, I had the silver one with light purple ears, along with a little McDonalds toy that they had about a year or so later!

The McDonald's one was basically just a little model of the Poo-Chi toy with a green body and dark purple ears (and didn't do anything) but I still loved it a lot! I used to pretend that the McDonalds toy was my Poo-Chi's little sister. Fun times with sweet little robot dogs!

Same Energy™

Story time!

As I'm sitting here enjoying some potato chips (since my sense of taste is slowly coming back from COVID) I was very suddenly hit with a super specific childhood memory I forgot I had.

When I was a kid (I think I was 8 at the time?) I was eating some of these same kind of chips after attending my church's Sunday school class. I was a pretty religious kid, but especially after Sunday school when discussions about Jesus were super fresh on my mind.

So I'm eating these chips and playing on my gameboy advance at the same time, and I was so engrossed in my older sister's copy of Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland that I set the bag on side table, totally not noticing it was barely balanced on the edge. 3 seconds later it obviously falls and spills chips all over!

I paused the game and sat for a second, totally bewildered about how it could've fallen/spilled when I JUST set it down. Was there a breeze I didn't notice? Was it a ghost? A true mystery. And then it hit me.

Jesus must've wanted some chips! I remember clearly thinking that it made perfect sense. Jesus used his amazing God Powers™ to take some! I said out loud "DUDE you could've just asked! I would've shared some with you! They're my favorite flavor!" and then I cleaned up and carried on playing Kirby like nothing happened.

...And now here I am, 28 years old and recovering from COVID, eating the same flavor of chips, suddenly struck with a vivid memory of a time back in 2003 when I fully believed Jesus Christ stole potato chips from me and made a mess that I had to sweep up.

TLDR; When I was 8 years old I was convinced that Christ Himself came down into my living room and stole my chips, and after cleaning up the mess He made I casually carried on like it was just any other Sunday LMAO
