Lessons from Spongebob

Strange title? Even stranger post. (If anyone is reading this aaat aaalll. I doubt anyone does, or anyone would bother to tell me they do.) Spongebob is great. He is REALLY too great for me to describe.In case you haven't seen Spongebob yet, catch an episode on Colors and then read this. 3 cheers to Colors for starting the show there....Spongebob is a strange fellow. He looks like an adult but is really a child at heart. Quote Wiki:"SpongeBob is a porous yellow sponge with large blue eyes, many holes appearing all around his body, a mouth with prominent front buck teeth, dimples and freckles. He is also, at times, shown to have hair. He typically wears a white shirt with a red tie and brown square trousers (the entire outfit is sometimes referred to as his "pants") - hence his family name - and black leather shoes. When he works at the Krusty Krab, he wears a hat with an anchor on it as a uniform. He replaces the necktie with a chokie bow tie for special events. He sleeps in his pajamas (in the episode "Sleepy Time"), in pajamas or in underwear, with shoes, or barefoot in various episodes; in the movie he sleeps wearing socks and underwear."

What is so appealing about Spongebob? He's appealing to one and all, from 8 year olds to 80 year olds. The comic nature of the show attracts kids. I personally laugh to tears at the stupidity. And alongwith the slapstick comes a great deal of dialogue, character and the realness of his personality. There is a Spongebob in each one of us. The problem is, this Spongebob is dying out of us. When we watch the show, we will find it all too silly for adults' entretainment. But somewhere deep down, we love this character. If there was one best friend in my life I'd wish was, it would have to be Spongebob. The absolute contrast of Spongebob is his grouchy neighbour Squidward. He is a big-time pessimist, and he kinda symbolizes the adult human being. You know, "get off my lawn! stop yelling! stupid kids!" type. As we mature, we are ACTUALLY turning into this creature.Spongebob on the other hand, is happy, funny and frolicking. He reminds me of the timeless age when all I did was have fun and never take any tension at all.

Just imagine a world with no crazy stuff, no funny incidents, no wacky situations. That is a world without Spongebob. We have a lot to learn from Spongebob. We have to learn to bring the kid inside us back again. That, I feel, is the essence of life.

Moreover, Spongebob is a symbol of pop-culture, and he's got bands like Metallica playing to his credits. That's why i dig Spongebob. Check out his Goofy Goober Rock video on YouTube or watch the Spongebob Squarepants movie.

I LOVE SPONGEBOB AND HE WILL LIVE FOREVER!!!!!!!
