    Going to Disneyland, buying that doll, having that retro console, collecting all the items in the set, buying that vintage car, getting a fat hog to crank it up with…

    Its melancholic nostalgia, having the things we could never have when we were young.

      I worked at Disneyland for 8 years. I still go there every year. It’s been over 10 years and I’m still running into people I used to work with and can shoot the shit with them for an hour.

      For me, there is something about that place that I took ownership of, cared for people there, and tried to make it better in the small way I could. I see all the effort that so many people have and continue to put in and really appreciate the artistry and care these people have.

      It’s a place that I feel comfortable in, and I like to just sit, listen to the music and the sounds of the crowds and people watch.
