The Simpson's didn't get old, you did!

I don't want anyone talking shit about the Simpson's, you hear me, I'll kick your ass. There will be repercussions.

The Simpson's were my second parents, and they were probably yours too.

The Simpson's were always a prerequisite for being a best-friend of mine, as was the case with Mike Manganiello, Tim Mook Sang, Stephanie Barrett and Christopher Langly. Stephane Kenny, though a good friend, never made it to the next level, his parents would not allow him to watch the Simpson's, claiming they would make him too more like me. After Chris Langley, I stopped needing best friends, I replaced them with girlfriends, though I have many very meaningful relationships otherwise.

Back to the Simpson's, sharing this bond with me meant you were like a sibling since we talked about them like they were our friends who lived faraway and didn't get to see, but when we got together it was the best fucking times ever. Every Monday morning the way to school or first recess was devoted strcitly to discussing the latest episode.

I have pretty much seen every episode. My parents even used to tape the short segments they had on the Tracy Ullman show years ago so I could see them the next day. Ever since I was about 5 they have been my second parents. They have had a great impact on who I am today, and I have been meaning to send Matt Groening a deeply sentimental card in thank you, but that will have to wait.

So now I am independent and don't need these figures in my life, but parents just don't go away, they become more like people who you start to see as the adults you could never see them as before. And the Simpon's are no different. Many have stopped caring about the Simpson's, which is a little disprespectful, you should tune in once and a while, they are still family. Catch up with them will ya?

So have a heart and rekindle that relationship, they are still funny, and you think they have chanhed, but in fact it is you who has changed, afterall,

The Simpon's didn't get old,

YOU DID!!
