Hi! Ever wonder what biographies are all about? Well, here is a page in the story of my life! I am a relatively happy and content little guy that lives on this shelf in a store for as long as I can remember with others a little like me and a little unlike me. One fine day, my mundane life took a very interesting turn out of the blue – which by the way is my name - Blu!
Didn’t think much of this tall lean guy who entered our store that day till he suddenly popped up in front of our shelf and peered down at us fellas… My heart sank and I knew I was doomed when his hand alighted on me. I hoped he would pick Michael or the not-much-fun Larry but no, it had to be poor little ME. He picked me up, paid for me and off we went to his house.
Different surroundings, none of my friends around but I adapt well and was just getting comfortable on a much cleaner shelf than at the store I called home, when Mr.Tall (who I later came to know was called Mr. Funk) took me to his school where I realized he must be a teacher and plopped me down in front of a group of students saying one of them got to take me home. What a bunch! To be fair some were pretty quiet but for the most part, they were a boisterous lot. One even mentioned a dog he owned and I imagined myself in its jaws and cringed. Even Larry would be better than this but maybe, just maybe I would get lucky and get to go with a kid I had spotted who had this big radiant smile on his face. But then again, why would I be in this situation if I were that lucky.
Four hours into the day, when my nerves could hardly take the pressure of wondering what horrors awaited me, Mr. Funk handed me over to the kid that I had wanted to be with! Cool! Now all I could do was hope and pray the smile wasn’t an act and he was a nice boy who would not feed me to his pet dog. Sujay put me in his hat and it was pretty comfortable I must say.
After school he took me home and put me on the counter. Soon I saw him hard at work on his homework. He also worked on his report about me though I did not get a chance to peek at it just then.
An hour later Sujay took me to a math class where I was just listening to them talk. Just as I was starting to like it, the teacher talked about math being hard and that you have to master it or become its slave. Uh-oh. I definitely did not want to deal with this subject. Left it to Sujay but my opinion of him changed from a goofball to a smart one.
Sujay then took me along to his martial arts class. WOW! I would not have guessed from his friendly and talkative nature, but this kid is one of those cool black belts. I sat and watched forgetting to even blink. There was kicking and punching and I got to see another side of Sujay. I always dreamed of being someone to be looked up to and not treated like an unimportant, silly blue bear. So I decided that in my next life, if I was born a human, I would become a black belt. Nice aspiration, right?
Now that was my day. If all the kids in Mr. Funks class show me all their good sides like Sujay did who I now think of as my buddy, I think I will be pretty happy making their classroom my new home!~Blu
