Don't Look Down
I don't know how many of you have noticed this, but in many movies there is a person doing something incredibly dangerous in a very high altitude where the fall would be all but pleasant. And you know, for the first part they seem pretty well off, maybe a bit nervous but that's normal. However, then comes along that one idiot who tells them: "Whatever you do, don't look down." And as if it wasn't bad enough, they actually look down.What's more is that the person mentions "whatever you do", implying that that person could unicycle or start to tap dance, all of which is fine compared to just "looking down"?! For once, I'd like to see someone not look down, or better yet, tell the person to "shut up and keep your rotten advice to yourself!"

In other news, I just finished watching the 101 Dalmatians Disney Movie on YouTube, and I've got to say: it really made my...night. I mean, if you compare old Disney films to those new ones, you pity the generations of today since there little minds are polluted by such...junk.

Which brings me to my next point! Remember those cartoons you'd wake up so early every Saturday morning for? The ones which you used to remember every character's names and the theme song that played before it? Well, you have to admit, those were some good shows. Even the older cartoons of our parent's generation weren't that bad. (Rocky and Bullwinkle, Charlie Brown, Scooby Doo) But look at the cartoons you see today. I don't know about you guys, but I found most of them to be extremely lame and stupid (That isn't to say all of them, but most of them). I wonder why that is; why did I dislike these cartoons so much? Perhaps, you get older and your mind instantly pulls back from kid shows or maybe, children these days have their own weird 21st century tastes which. I don't know. All I know is, is that those cartoons I woke up so early for were one of the highlights of my childhood. Let's not forget:
  1. Hey Arnold
  2. CatDog
  3. Pokemon (the original episodes)
  4. Jackie Chan Adventures
  5. Recess *scandalous*
  6. Powerpuff Girls
  7. The Wild Thornberries
  8. Power Rangers
  9. Courage the Cowardly Dog
  10. Cow and Chicken
  11. Dexter's Laboratory
  12. Johnny Bravo
  13. Samurai Jack
  14. Digimon (the original)
  15. Rugrats
  16. Rocket Powers
  17. Braceface
  18. Osmosis Jones
  19. Hamtaro
  20. Doug
Wow, I feel like such a nerd. Funny that I don't wear glasses after such exposure. :P How about you guys? Is there one not on this list that you used to love watching? Or maybe even something you completely loved from my list? I know you guys have seen at least 3 from here. :)

    I loved Metabots. I mostly hated American cartoons, because everything was...the same. I liked all of the old Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, etc. though. I might just be wierd...

    My sister thinks I'm weird for never liking Power Rangers, but she never said anything about me liking the Powerpuff Girls. >_>

    I also miss Hamtaro. I miss you, Dexter and Cappy! ;_;

    Oh, and I also love the original Digimon series (notice the present tense). It influenced my life in so many ways.

    Pokémon, too, but I watched that until like season 7 or somethng (and I still play the games!). I only watched Digimon up until season 4, though. xD

About Me
Name: Dyana
Home:
About Me: I am an odd person. I'll admit it because I can't really figure out who I am exactly. I think that's what life is partially about: figuring out who you really are, that, and happiness. I don't think many do find out who they really are in the end, but make a marvelous journey trying. I think that's beautiful. Frankly, I don't really want to find that one word or thing that would describe me perfectly. I think I'll just sit along with the ride and let everything just roll as it goes. I'm a very spontaneous person.
