TV, what else?

Nothing much happened today, as usual I watched TV. caught some episodes of "Spongebob Squarepants". It never occurred to me that I will like watching this cartoon. Until one day when I realised that it helps to watch it after being "numbed" by the back-stabbing and the office politics that is a daily event in the office. A respite, you would say.

In this cartoon, Spongebob's faithfulness to his work at Krabby Pattyis beyond comprehension except that he loves his work. The dedication he shows to his job is one of those inexplicable un-explained phenomenon. He doesn't care about his pay or money as long as he can continue working at Krabby Patty. As for Patrick, his dumbness and innocence makes you laugh. Squidward who wishes to be an artist but is a cashier. Mr. Krabs is crazy about money. Mrs. Puff who is always stressed by her ever-failing student, Spongebob. Plankton, owner of Chum Bucket, always trying to get Mr. Krabs' secret"Krabby Patty" formula to improve his own business. Sandy, the only air-breathing creature in Bikini Bottom and she is from Texas.

Sometimes, the stories told is reflective of real-life situations. They go through all kinds of episodes but there's one "luxury" that they have and that is never having to worry about money. Nowadays we keep getting re-runs so it has become less entertaining but it is a good show to watch (re-run or not) when you are tired and just want some laughs.

Besides that, I also caught another show called "Backdraft". It stars Kurt Russell, William Baldwin, and Rober De Niro. I have seen it before but I dont mind watching it again. It is about 2 brothers who are firemen and how one of their own firemen became an arsonist. After watching the show it makes a person wonder why people choose to be firemen. Because they want to save lives. It takes a lot of hard work to be one and it makes us respect what they do.

Almost time to catch the next show - Law & Order.
