I would really love to write down random memories that I have. Every now and then stories from my past just pop into my head and I laugh even though no one is around. Like the following:
In the 80's there was a truck commercial (which I assume was for Toyota... you'll see why) where the "driver" would be standing outside the truck (which was usually up on a rocky mountain) and would jump in the air, kick their legs tot he side, and throw their arms up into the air. The camera would then freeze in that position, so you'd see them jumping for joy. Growing up my friend and I would run down her hallway and jump off the steps into her living room and yell "I love what you do for me, Toyota" and strike that pose mid-aid. We would do that over and over and over again and laugh hysterically. It still makes me smile and laugh when I think about it.
On a related note, when I was a kid my crib was in my sister's room. I remember standing up in my crib and reaching out my hand towards my sister in her bed. She would lean as far out of her bed as she could and would stretch out her hand and we'd say "Reach out and touch someone." Again, just like in a commercial. I think that slogan was for AT&T. It's a really great memory that my sister and I both share. :)
