somebody tried to suggest one of my older tunes had a similarity to a pokemon song, which i can state with a high degree of certainty that i've never heard before.

you know, i don't even know what a pokemon is. is it similar to a pog? was it like dungeons and dragons, or something? some kind of card game?

i suspect my track is older, but i don't really know because i don't know what year pokemon came out around. i wrote the track in late 2000, early 2001.

and i suspect i'm a little too old for pokemon, but i wouldn't really know, either, because i wasn't into that kind of thing when i was the right age for it.

i preferred stuff like the smurfs and care bears that had a more positive message over violent video games and boring geek shit.

but i mostly stopped watching cartoons when i was something like six years old.

and i never had advanced cable....

...so i mostly had absolutely no idea what the other kids were talking about. it's actually probably had a substantial influence on my social skills. i mean, the only thing that existed in their brains was cartoons that i had no interest in or understanding of, so there was a difficulty in communicating and interacting. the window, or the wall (or sometimes a book) generally seemed more interesting to me than repeating quotes from episodes of shows i wasn't able to watch and probably wouldn't have liked if i was able to watch them......

but i still don't know if pokemon was or wasn't one of those shows. i don't remember when or where i first heard of it. at all. and i don't care enough to look it up....
