HIS ROYAL FRESHNESS

i've meant to compose a post about a show back in the 90's called Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The only reason i haven't is because i have been so caught up with other things like tumblr and shows that i can watch online.

So anyway, back to Fresh Prince. You might have heard of the show from other people, or maybe you have watched it. Unfortunately for me, i was barely a year old when the show ended and i have just recently watched it when a friend lent me his external hard drive.

Fresh Prince is basically, a great show about a prosperous african- american family living in Bel Air in the 1990's. I pressume it was in the 90210 zip code. I have a thing for shows that were from back in the day when everything was still funny, and not stereotypical in a few ways. When things that mattered in the show mattered in real life as well. In Fresh Prince, the main themes i guess, were family and love, the strong bond between members of the family and the struggle of an african- american family for their rights. There was something about this show that struck me after watching a few episodes. Maybe it was the interior decoration of the set they filmed in.The set somehow made me notice what i missed out on seeing that i only spent 4 years living in the 90's. Or maybe, it was how hillarious the show was. It was the era when 'stupid' was not stupid enough to make me want to run into a brick wall or something like that.

I know none of you care, but if you have read until here, you might as well just carry on. A few nights ago, possibly a week ago, i decided to stay up really late into the night just to finish season 2 of Fresh Prince. Right after i finished watching the last episode, i thought that i would go down to my kitchen to make a drink. But the thing is, sometimes when you stay up really late, you tend to get a little wonky and crazy and you might not exactly think about how much sense you're making. After i made my drink, i decided to take a tour of my kitchen, at 2 in the cold morning. As insane as i was, i really enjoyed myself. My kitchen reminded me of the set of Fresh Prince because it was built in the 90's and everything in it was in a sense, old. I walked around the kitchen with a cup of Milo in my hand. When you look carefully, and closely enough, you notice what you never did before. I noticed that one of my cupboards have turned yellow over the years due to the exposure to heat and the tiles on the floor has these motifs i have never actually seen properly, and that these motifs were making my kitchen floor look like it had circles.

If you are confused on where i am heading with this, i am just trying to say that i really appreciate the 90's more now, eventhough i do not remember most of it. But thanks to a tv show made once upon a time, i can now appreciate, and maybe even learn more about an era of awesomeness i missed out on, via google of course.

I know this post might seem corny, and most probably lame, boring and everything on the opposite side of amusing. But then again, this is a place where i occassionally voice out my thoughts about recent events and such. so yeah. Until next time, au revoir. :)
