I'm missing waiting for my kids' coming home from school
I'm missing looking at my kids on the floor drawing
I'm counting the minutes when I can be with them
Yes, minutes as those are all we have together
I'm missing coming to them, instead of having them come to me
I'm missing jumping down onto the floor to them, and not having them drag me down instead
I'm missing their carefree ignorance to the world ready to bite your head off and spit you out
No, they're not part of that world for they feel
And they see me as they want to hear me
And they hear me although they soon lose interest in me
They go after me yet they are so ready to ditch me for a new set of plaything
They want to play with me so they can beat me again and again
I miss them for that
And I want to go home having them eagerly waiting for me but will it mean they have been missing me?
I pray that they do not miss me 'cause it hurts to miss

"Flick it, baby. Fick it, I say." --A Nintendo DS Game Review--
It is known as Rhythm Tengoku Gold in Japan and it has finally been translated to English bearing the title: Rhythm Heaven.
And, boy, if it ain't heaven...
In this delightfully funny game, you get to hold your DS book-style, thus, you play the game totally using your stylus (and hearing).
Rhythm Heaven is a--as its name tels us-- a rhythm game. Ehm. You get to tap the touchscreen and also often times, flick the stylus on the touchscreen's surface, following the beat of 8-bit music or chiptunes, though sometimes there are some silly short cutie songs that you just gotta fall in love with after hearing them.
The game is divided into tens of short rhythm games each telling different "story," and Remix game where the short rhythm games are --err-- remixed.
Each rhythm game is funny, with many of them are so hilarious that they got me laughing so hard, I lose (There. If that's not one of the cheapest way to admit that the game beat you flat, I don't know what is); and each time we make a mistake, i.e. late to tap or to flick we'll get an evil eye from either a pair of monkeys, or a couple of ducks or whatever it is that accompanies you. You might even get a bird pooping on your mug. While you are an Easter Island statue. Now, THAT is funny.
And that's what I find as the biggest challenge in playing the game: Not to laugh and concentrate on the rhythm.
I sometimes find myself NOT looking at the screen and just use my hearing to get that "perfect-timing" to tap, and it often works.
The game is brought to you by the people that made Warioware games, so you know that wacky, crazy, insulting situation is the norm in this Gold.
