Taming of the Kern River

happy birthday to the nintendo wii, which revolutionized physical therapy. the wii turned boring torturous rooms filled with weights and mats to places where people could actually have fun while getting stronger. the popularity in healthcare environments is largely why just dance 2020 was released on wii. that is right, on november 5, 2019, the final game for the nintendo wii was released.

now, healthcare facilities are filled with active video games, and patients are having so much more fun with them than they ever could through traditional means. there are countless people who quite literally owe the nintendo wii their life.

Went to Build-A-Bear Workshop today. My therapist said it’d be good for me, to get me out of the rut I’m in, called it an “exercise in creation.” I held the limp carcass of the bear in my hands for what felt like hours. What was I doing? Who was this bear? Why was it here? Not here, not yet, not quite. Did it want to be? What right did I have to thrust this bear into the cacophony of being without first giving it a purpose? I couldn’t move. Then this kid asked what I was talking about, and I realized I’d been soliloquizing in a sea of children.

“I can’t even think of a name,” I said, staring down at the bear I couldn’t bring myself to make, its black, plastic eyes like currants in a semolina loaf that no one ordered but had shown up anyway.

“How old are you?” the kid asked. I looked at his bear. It was bursting at the seams.

“I think I’m having an existential crisis.”

“I’m ten.”

“Okay.”

“You should name it Trojan.” I was stunned. This kid knew Homer? Then he said, “After the condom your dad should have worn.“ He took the bear out of my hands and threw it at me, like that had been its purpose all along.

Whoever said kids are wise is a liar. Kids are dumb as shit.
