that purple dinosaur and those birds and bees /1:46 PM
OMG. It was a totally hilarious conversation with my clique today, especially Sham. Haha... That whole 'ranting' about how Barney (Sham's favourite childhood character!) is no longer the Barney that used to catch so much of her attention. Haha. All that about how Barney and the little kids no longer sang together in harmony, about how Barney's voice became so awful so much that he is now a bad influence on the kids, about how Barney doesn't even sing properly these days... LOL.
I never really watched Barney as a kid, but I do have my share of other cartoons. Scooby Doo, Dexter's Laboratory, Pokemon, Powerpuff Girls etc...Yes. I've had my share of cartoons too. And it's kinda nostalgic. But it's weird to re-watch the episodes of the cartoons that I used to watch. They used to be so funny and engaging; now it's just on the verge of being really, really lame. Sorry. Comes with maturity I guess...
And yes, what about the birds and bees? Why is it even 'birds' and 'bees' to begin with in the first place? I have no idea on the origins of this term. Right, birds and bees pollinate the flower, so probably that's a representation of fertilization and what not about sex. Still, don't birds and bees represent the same thing anyway? Why not 'birds and flowers' or something to that effect? Heh. Terms are weird. Never to be figured out I think.
But anyway, it's kinda interesting to find out how people first found out on this 'taboo' topic, which is constantly infiltrating the minds of many youths anyway so any extent of taboo wouldn't have a real effect. But yeah, it does remind me about how I got through primary school not knowing what in the world a condom was and getting laughed at by all my primary school mates for being that 'innocent'. Of course, the moment of realization came when Durex sent this mailer to every home about how you can save your embarrassment at the counter by purchasing your 'required materials' via mail order. Yes, weird but that was THE moment.
Okay, I'm starting to sound like Animal Planet talking about all these animals. I have a Japanese lesson to attend in a few minutes. Agh. >.<
