Dreaming of Cameroon
2008-02-09 22:15:00 Dreaming of CameroonI have always had a deep interest in Cameroon. I don’t know why. I know nothing about Cameroon. I think I just like the sound of it: Cam-e-roon. It sounds wild to me. When I was a kid, Erik the Pilot and I would play a Nintendo World Cup soccer game where you could run players over and kill them with slide tackles. There was a team from Cameroon on this game, and one of us would always pick it so that we could make jokes in African accents. It never occurred to me that Cameroon was a real place, and that I could go there. Cameroon just meant far away. I liked the sound of that. Then, when I got a little older, I realized that I had no idea where Cameroon was, I just knew it was in Africa, and that it was way different than where I lived on a farm in Upstate New York. One day, I decided to find it on the large National Geographic world map that hung above my bed. There it was. On the map. Cameroon then became real to me. I still do not know anything about Camero...
