Being so busy in whatever we are doing now makes us wish we were small kids running around the house again. Their innocent looks and honest smiles make the world a better place to live in. Guys, tend to enjoy their kids toys at some time too. When given a gift like trains, adults enjoy them as much as they do. What does girls enjoy then to revive their childhood memories? I can only say one thing and that is cartoons.
Women love cartoons more than men do and it is accepted in the society that adult women still love cartoons but not adult men. They might love cartoons but, I guess that will be another kind of cartoon that a kid cannot watch. Kids, also doesn’t want to watch unattractive characters. In other words, scary, but, learns to love them too at the end. Here are some scary but lovable characters.
1. Barney – A purple dinosaur that has captured the heart of kids from all over the world. Well renown for his rhymes and songs, Barney is lovable to the eye of the kids. What makes them scary? Even though I watch cartoon at times, I am so sick of Barney. This is what most adults who are tired of watching Barney thinks he looks like and I know, most people feel the same way I do.
2. Ewoks – If you are an 80’s baby, you would have seen this 80’s cartoon. Seeing this now at present, kids don’t find them cute and cuddly. In fact, I do not know why I ever watched that show back then. What makes them cute? They look like care bears. Are you also wondering if they are related to each other?
3. Sponge Bob – A modern cartoon character whose face looked like it was bombarded with pimples. Sponge Bob is literally a sponge given life. All of sponge bob’s friends are sea creatures and Sponge Bob isn’t one. Maybe, Sponge Bob is a mermaid after all. That creature should have been called, “Sponge Boob Square Pants.” And adults might like him after all.
If I were you, I would just enjoy the bonding time rather than watching all these creatures brought to life!

Money has always been so hard for me, so I work so hard and put on extra hours almost every chance I get. It’s hard to live by my own especially because I am not from the city originally.
My former boss wants me to work part-time as a researcher for condominiums. I’m tempted to take the offer as it would be, first, an added skill in my resume, second, it would be a good source of additional income.
But what makes me hesitant is the additional work hours. Yeah, I know, it is an extra job so it means added work. I felt like I am on the verge of getting the flu if I work one more extra day this week. I was actually planning of taking a leave this friday as to go home to my hometown to get a well-deserved rest. I have been working 14 days straight and the new boss which I have talked about a few times here was gracious to pay me overtime so I got a few extra money in the bank to spend this week.
What I’m trying to say is that I’m stumped. Someone help me.

Cruising down a slow lazy afternoon, I was listening to “Dis Bitch, Dat Hoe” from the album of Three Six Mafia featuring Ludacris and Crunchy Black. It made cruising with my Beemer a sheer driving pleasure, with no puns intended. I’ve always wanted to purchase license plates to make sure everyone knows I am protected by them. What is it with me and Mafia this day?
If you think everything was pure coincidence, wait till you hear what I saw on TV when I reached my destination. It was a rerun of “The Godfather”, one of the greatest Mafia movies of the century. Released in 1972 and the part 2 in 1974, it became the only sequel to win a best picture award in the Oscars. It was and still, that good because it is now considered to be the gold standard of Mafia films.
Another movie, The Scarface directed by Brian De Palma is his best film. It premiered on December 1st, 1983 in New York City. Despite negative publicity from the media and critics, it grossed $65 million US Dollars. Today, the Net Present Value (NPV) of it would be around $180 million US Dollars. The word “fuck”, was used 226 times in the film.
Pulp Fiction, the latest Mafia flick I loved was released way back 1994. According to Washington Post, to watch that movie is to experience near assault of creativity. I know that there was a better movie than this but I included this one in the list for the reason of Pulp Fiction utilized classic story telling with modern techniques.
I had enough of my daily dose of day dreaming now. I need to get back to my real world, where, I am not really protected by Mafia, nor do I want them protecting me. I would have to go and do with their saying, “Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.”
