Let’s blame it on the economy. We could call it a return to simpler times, when the little things in life could bring us joy without deflating our wallets. A world before technology. Before Wii and Rock Band and iPods distorted our view of true entertainment. Whatever we blame, Call FM Julio is officially hooked. And for just $1.99 you too can experience endless thrills, chills, and other fun things like… exhilaration.

It’s called a kite. (If you’re under the age of 67 you may need to wikipedia that one.)

Your afternoon guy, Julio, found a kite at a local Walgreens drugstore and has been thrilling himself–and plenty of innocent bystanders–with this $2 piece of plastic and string. Please enjoy a few video clips. The first one is a look at the sort of people who used to enjoy kites. Notice they lived in an era when none of the cool forms of entertainment existed yet. And that they’re the kind of people who randomly burst into song and dance without any warning, which could explain why things like kites get them incredibly excited.

The second video is of Call FM Julio showing us just why kite-flying could be making a comeback… or maybe he’s just showing us why when we see him these days, we should seriously consider running in the opposite direction. (OK, OK, so my laughter in the video might make you think differently. I’m just saying, approach at your own risk.)
