Ok. So it was around 145 am. I'm sitting here chatting on msn, talking to a friend on the phone, reading some shit... ya know, the usual. So, all of a sudden my doorbell rings. I was kinda pissed off, cuz I figured it was my mom coming home, and forgot her key or something. So I told my friend to hold on a second while I walked to the door, all- the-while swearing my head off. I reach the door and ask "Who is it?" as is customary in my neighbourhood, due to the extreme ghettoness of it. I received no response. So again I call out. "Hello? Anyone there?" Again, no response. I then hear a car drive away. If you haven’t guessed, by then I was a tad freaked out. So I did the most logical thing. I grabbed a baseball bat and called my mom. After letting me know it wasn't her, she told me not to open the doors, (no shit!) and that she'd be home soon. So she hangs up, and I'm left with an empty house and the wind howling outside my bedroom window. Fuck I love Saturdays.
By the way, how many of you used to watch Barney? And how many can still remember the theme song? Ok well, me being the cool cat that I am, watched it, and can remember the whole song.
Let us begin.
Barney is a dinosaur, from our imagination, And when he's tall he's what we call a dinosaur sensation. Barney's friends are big and small they come from lots of places, after school they need to play and sing with happy faces. Barney shows us lots of things, like how to play pretend, ABC's and 123's and how to be a friend. Barney comes to play with us whenever we may need him, Barney can be your friend too if you just make believe him!
But the best Barney song of all...
The Barney Bag Song
That's right.
The Barney Bag.That thing was God. You could find anything in it! Anything!
So we're looking in the Barney Bag. And we've found, a lot of things. Like gizmos and gadgets, and odds and ends, and even some old string! Now let’s ask ourselves a question. What can we make today? With imagination and the Barney Bag, we’ll see what we can make today, yeah, we’ll see what we can make today.Yes. I know. You don’t have to say it. I have sunk to a new low. But ya know what? I’m fine with it. Because I have my Barney songs down here, and I’m happy. That’s right. I loved Barney and am proud of it. Take
that Airplane Bob!
(Yeah, don’t ask. It’s 3 am. I am tired. Leave me alone.)
Not to say I like Barney now. That giant purple dinosaur scares the shit outta me, and I have no idea how I found him so endearing as a child. But I will forever remember the wonderful songs, and the 8 year old child who once asked Barney "Barney, what's the alphabet?"
