Week 6: Willy.

WWhen I was a kid I had a big thing for Killer Whales, to this day, I'm still facinated by the animal, but not as much as I was when I was a kid. As a kid I had a stuffed killer whale, I don't remember when I got it, I just remember always looking for it because it was misplaced. I used to carry it around with me like it was a part of my wardrobe. Anywhere I went, it went with me. My fetish with killer whales were so bad back then, that I used to watch the movie "Free Willy" every single day. This is back when DVD's weren't big, so we used the good 'ol VCR. I ended up wearing down the tape so much by watching it, that the VCR ended up gobbling it up, and it was gone for good. So I guess you could say that both, the tape, and the stuff animal were a big part of my childhood, and were the things that kept me entertained. To this day I have the stuffed animal in my closet in a box, although the killer whale now is all shrubby, and the eyes have a tint of yellow, I still think back to when I loved and cherished it.
