    Finding Nemo

    the older i get, the more secure in my childhood i become. i remember when i was a wee lad being into transformers. then one day, i asked my friends, "hey, did you like last night's episode of transformers?" they laughed and said, "transformers? that's so lame. it's all about G.I. Joe now."...
