To describe childhood as having been magical is an understatement. In truth, there can be no possible description of childhood! And for those of us who have been fortunate, thanks to a bankable familial structure that remains even now intricately woven around us providing unending comfort and security, yesteryears are moments that are cherished for all time to come!
This post in particular is an articulation of celebrating childhood, or rather the child in us that we eventually come suppress as a result of a failed recognition of what we need to be, as opposed to what it is that we truly need to be, the answer being happy!
So for me, childhood stands singularly apart for one very good and big reason, apart from, of course, the many other wonderful things that went into making it. That one factor, or if I may say avenue, of unending happiness and joy came from William Boyd "Bill" Watterson's epic creation of Calvin & Hobbes, which has to my soul, by far, been the most appealing piece of pictorial literature bearing supreme levels of intellectual excellence, yet so elementary and cheerful. That feeling of bliss, I'm sure you understand, is timeless and shall continue forever! And as this momentously fabulous creation has come to turn 25 (though having ceased to be renewed in 1995), I thought it apt to make a mention of how my childhood has been a celebration of times, thanks to this timeless wonder!
Boy, I cannot tell you how much I admire anthropomorphism, in the way it should be - Just like how it has been depicted as in the case of Hobbes! But just before I close this post, I'll leave you some splendid lines from the mannerisms of an avant-garde post-modern icon, Calvin! :-)
I think the surest sign that there is intelligent life out there in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.
It's hard to be religious when certain people are never incinerated by bolts of lightning.
Pretty convenient how every time I build character, Dad saves a couple hundred dollars
Are you suggesting that this appliance didn't aggravate me with malice aforethought?
Well, it just seemed wrong to cheat on an ethics test.
If warped values are the price of a vicarious thrill, so be it!
I try to make everyone's day a little more surreal.
People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world
These are interesting times. We don't trust the government, we don't trust the legal system, we don't trust the media, and we don't trust each other! We've undermined all authority, and with it, the basis for replacing it! It's like a six-year-old's dream come true!
If it was completely different, school would be great.
Leave it to a girl to take the fun out of sex discrimination.
Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous?
As a math atheist, I should be excused from this.
This one's tricky. You have to use imaginary numbers, like eleventeen ..
I go to school, but I never learn what I want to know.
In my opinion, we don't devote nearly enough scientific research to finding a cure for jerks.
That's the difference between me and the rest of the world! Happiness isn't good enough for me! I demand euphoria!
To make a bad day worse, spend it wishing for the impossible.Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words.
I like maxims that don't encourage behavior modification.
I wanted to be a neo-deconstructivist but Mom wouldn't let me
