Heres a tiny snippet, as an exclusive sneak preview, just to whet your appetite:
April 19th, 1991
It was on this Friday, that I finally obtained the Japan exclusive Famicom Gradius 2 cartridge and the American NES adapter. Alex went with me that day to New Focus, the only local import video game store in Miami, to pick it up. I had ordered in a few weeks before from Japan. On our way back to my house, we were talking about our current crushes. Mine was a girl I had met in class. Her name was Luly. Alex's was a girl he met from his years of swimming. Her name was Missy. We stopped at the swimming pool complex at Miami Dade College. She was there doing her practice & training laps. Alex spoke with her briefly, I waved hello from a distance, and then we left.
Later that evening, I had finished preparing a letter and a mix tape to give to Luly. Alex and I then did a midnight run, and he drove me over to her house so I could leave the items for her on her car for her to find the next day. Even though I had created and labeled the mix tape by hand, I painstakingly made a perfect copy / replica of it, for myself to keep as a point of referance so that I would always know exactly what I gave her. And thanks to my archival tendencies, I still have it to this day.
I ended up actually creating a second mix tape for her a few months later. And I still have a copy of that one as well. But despite taking several classes with her at Miami Dade, and having weekly phone conversations, the relationship never reached a meaningful level. And since she was a year older then me, she completed her courses there before I did, and she transferred to UCF. So sadly, I never told her how I felt about her, and I never saw her again.
Ironically, I ended up moving to the central florida area in June of 2000, where I still live today with my family. Upon completing her college education, she moved back to South Florida, where she lives and works today.
