I thought I would sit and come up with a wonderfully clever post during my vacation time; but after sitting at my laptop for the last 30 minutes and attempting to think of something creative, insightful and yet hilarious - I have nothing to show for it.
I am finally on vacation, after working 9.5 months straight, with a rare "Golden Weekend" off, you would think the shock of relaxation would jolt my brain. I have decided to issue a confession instead.
At the age of 27, I still watch cartoons. This happens twice a year, when I go back home to my parent's house and settle into that familiar routine of sleeping in, eating home cooked Punjabi food until my belly hurts and then taking multiple naps a day.
And I don't mean cartoons that come on after 7:00 PM. My cartoon of choice is a PBS favorite - Arthur, a show about a nerdy 8 year old Aardvark in a yellow knit sweater. I assure you, this is not lame. This show is actually very entertaining. It's also very comforting, there's something about going back to those things in your childhood that made you laugh. Wholesome television, that you could watch without traumatizing select members of your family. I don't know why it still appeals to me, maybe it's just good programming; but I have a feeling it might have to do with hoping that there's still some childlike innocence in me, that hasn't been bulldozed over by working 90 hour weeks in a county hospital.
It may also have to do with the awesome theme song, Believe in Yourself sung by Ziggy Marley. Stop judging me.
