I am Bear! Hear me Roar! RAWR!
For some strange reason... I realised that, fate has been playing a mini game with me. Ok, that sounded harsh, but more of like, my life has had a few strange coincidences.
I was looking up the meaning of my name. It means "peace friend". And coincidently, it's a libran name. That was a bit freaky. I mean, I'm pretty sure my parents did not choose the name because I was born a Libran. They were more focused on getting a name that began with my father's initials, being a family tradition thingy.
And coincidentally, Disney decided to name one of their characters after the same name as well, more specifically a bear. On a side note, I dunno what those sick Disney execs had in mind when they created the character. A male bear with a clearly female name. I find it even more disturbing that they are showing it to kids. Add to that the fact that the bear does not wear pants, only a red shirt... Indecent exposure man! But what really cuts it? The bear is accepted by the masses!!!! Gosh..... What is the world coming to???
Ok, so I digress. So, all my life, I have been associated with that darn bear and many people have been calling me a bear. But more interestingly, I realised that I am a bear! Ok, that didn't come out very right... more like, I have more similarities to bears than i thought... Bears have good sense of smell and hearing (these are my 2 more acute senses). Bears are gentle creatures unless provoked. Bears are solitary creatures. Bears like to hibernate (given a choice, I just like to sleep under the sheets all day). Mother bears are fierce protectors of their young.
Hahaha.. the thought just suddenly struck me today. Why? Because the bear was woken up from hibernation to do work... RAWR!!!!!! Can't they just leave the poor bear alone?
