I’m going to make a thread of pictures of all the things I had and/or found cool in my childhood. This is the first of many of these threads. This one right here was called a Diskman. It was my favourite gadget when I had it.
I feel like this is probably still my favourite movie of all time. I once had it on Cassette. Unfortunately someone I went to high school with won’t return it.
No, I’ve never owned one 
. But I was here every Friday. It was my happy place. Renting videos was a family tradition for Fridays.


One of my childhood fantasies was finding girlfriend who dressed like this 

. My celebrity crush was Aaliyah.



This reminds me of when I first went to Quadrant Training as a very young person . What’s mind blowing is I ended working there. RIP Ntate Graham.
I am so grateful to my parents. When my parents took me shopping in Bloemfontein the apartheid laws still existed but my dad had diplomatic immunity and I had the privilege of not realising apartheid existed until I was told about it.
Me, my brother Moshe and my cousin Tinashe used to love to play pretend and we would call ourselves these characters when we played with sticks outside.

I should actually get another pair. But I remember one of those cool days at the middle school I went to and would bring our blades out to skate.
