I know it maybe rated kiddies’ tuff, but for years I’ve been watching Spongebob as one of my fav TV shows. Before that there was CatDog, but I kinda started on it’s last days. Then came SpongeBob, and I’ve been addicted ever since. I didn’t really care, but the cartoon had an aura of its own which mesmerized me. It became a ritual to sit at the TV with a mug of tea and a biscuit or some munchable at 5, which I kinda miss now. Watching a DVD can never compare to the feeling.

I sometimes think anyways it’s better now I can’t have the time to see it. Actually I’m not at home. But still I can watch my other Nick favorite Jimmy Neutron on weekends, and even continue to Spongebob if I feel like it. Also I think I was kindof getting to the limit of it. So better still to run outta time to watch before I got fed up with him. And I can’t watch toons forever on a regular basis I suppose.

But I used to like all his little ways, his pineapple home, his friends [Pat, Sands, Mr K and even Sqiddie], his games and pranks, his positive attitudes [esp. about work], and the like. My favorite episode as I can remember is The Graveyard Shift, where he and Squidward get apparently haunted by an imagined ghost, The, er..,  Hash Slinging Slasher. I simply loved it all, and I’d remember, albeit with a hint of missing the times all the time.

Goodbye SpongeBob, time’s up and got to go. But the fun we had, oh, how can one ever forget it!
