Dodo Mania

It is a well known fact that the Dodo bird is a long gone, wiped out species. When the phrase 'extinct species' is mentioned, what is the first thing that pops into mind, other than dinosaurs? For me it has always been the Dodo. What made me base the name of my blog on this bird, other my utter and complete fascination with them, is the reason as to why their demise was inevitable, and why i feel like the human Dodo on so many levels.

"Having been isolated by its island location from contact with humanity, the Dodo greeted the new visitors with a child-like innocence. The sailors mistook the gentle spirit of the Dodo, and its lack of fear of the new predators, as stupidity. They dubbed the bird "dodo" (meaning something similar to a simpleton in the Portuguese tongue). Many dodo were killed by the human visitors, and those that survived man, had to face the introduced animals."

"The dodo bird, historically, has been viewed as a rather plump bird, weighing approximately 20-23 kilograms (Im a rather plump human dodo myself). What distinguishes the dodo from many other birds is not just its size, but that it was flightless. Despite its large build, the dodo had small, weak wings which could not lift it into the air. Thus it was easy prey to the Portuguese invaders who would club the bird to death as it approached them seeking friendship."

Always the odd-one-out. Even on their own land.

Well i say, no more! No longer will this human dodo be vulnerable and weak in the face of the enemy! No longer shall my spirit be trampled upon by inferior, primative 'human' beings! I will not stand for it. My 'gentle spirit' and good nature have done me absolutely zero good, when the only smart thing to do when handling YOU people is to give you the evil eye and a serious attitude! Why is it that when i treated you with respect and utter humiliation on my behalf, you decided i was an easy target for your bullying antics? Where in hells name did dignity, manners, and plain old gentlemanlyness go?

Unleash the revenge of the Dodo. Let the world go into the infernal abyss.

Revenge is a lot like chocolate, best served cold! Seriously, hot chocolate sucks! All chalky and muddy looking...

well i'd like to stress how human DoDo's were very important and still actually. Some people think that the original (DoDo) is long gone coz its present RIGHT NOW and kicking.

For that to believe you have to meet me to show it to you. And yes its innocent and only does wjats told. I honestly dunno how to relate dinosaurs to this but the modren DoDo is huge and gives you a pleasure feeling of wormth.

If you ask why its now in the streets if the DODO turely exist, well its out there but you have to be in a certain mood and send certain signals for it to cum i mean to come.


Finally i say: life is nothing if you don't enjoy other's DODO's.

Thanx and Bye
