What have they done to my Smurfs?!

Bombing Smufs for a cause. Another idyllic childhood ruined. I miss the Smurfs. Are they still on TV?

who wants to help me?

My essay on Pope and Wordsworth is due Monday. Who wants to help me write it?

One of the best comics ever: Calvin and Hobbes, a personal favorite, captures exactly what I'm feeling when I'm trying to do a decent job on this essay. It's Perfection.

I wanted to be a planeteer

Cartoon Network | TV Schedule

OMG! I thought Captain Planet went off the air ages ago. This is the reason why I'm so interested in the environment. Silly as it sounds, it is the only reason I try desperately to reduce, reuse, and recycle. It is the reason I'm taking Environ Sci and Earth Sci. coolest. guy. ever! So suave (sigh). Gosh, CP just plain rules.
This is meant to educate kids about our environment. Thank God Cartoon Network decided to show it at 4:30 am central each morning because that's when kids will get the most out of it. Wait. Huh?

Anyways, I'm mighty glad it's still on the air.

know your inner smurf

Awww...such good times. It seems like I'm rediscovering all the cartoons I watched as a kid. Another one of my favorite cartoons. Here's a list of sites that should help you discover or rediscover the smurfs:

• Smurfs Official Website


• Smurf name generator


• Find your inner smurf

I remember I had smurf figurines. I wish I still had them. They were cool. Another cartoon that should be brought back.

Yippeee...I'm glad my childhood cartoons are resurfacing. It gives me a good feeling inside when people are still celebrating the things/events that made me happy as a child. So now, at least, I don't feel like my childhood was a waste.

Come on. Popeye just pure rocks. Don't forget Olive Oyl, Sweet'Pea, and Brutus.

So he turns 75 this year. Totally awesome.

The Ninjas are BACK!

COWABUNGA!
The most amazing thing happened. I was transported back into my childhood when I saw THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES on TV again.

It's about time. But I think this is the NEW AND IMPROVE version. What's with their eyes? Before the turtles were lovable creatures and now they have turned into dark and mysterious (and kinda creepy) super heroes. Plus, now April is a brunette. Ohhh...I get it. I've only seen one episode and not in it's entirety either, but I hope they still are still their-pizza-loving-self.

*Because the turtles are named after some of the greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance (I'm not sure about Donatello; doesn't reading that conjure up weird images? "Turtles" and "greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance."), it only makes sense that they would like pizza. Right? Came up with that all by myself :)

Plus, I loved their old theme song but all I can remember are the phrases if I remember correctly: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...So catchy, and ultimately, very effective! I was hooked, and I'm sure many young minds out there were too.
