Why would I blog about classic cartoon shows and when I mean "classic" how classic are they?
Well it doesn't have to be too classic... but I can always talk about that too,
First off Micky Mouse has gone through a changr for a sure. The voice actor, Wayne Alwine, died of diabetes and they replaced him with someone else similar to his voice talents but the biggest change wasn't the voice, it was the way he looked, They cut down the Mickey Mouse episodes into shorts and Minnie is still voiced the same, stiled different. They looked as if they were drawn through a dark pencil marking. It seems pretty cool. I've seen a few episodes and short as they are, they held up to the classics from the thirties and fourties not that stupid "Mickey Mouse Club" crap, they went back to the classic Mickey and I like that.
Betty Boop had a few changes of course, did you know when she first appeared the animators made her into a dog? Yes that's right a dog. I think the episode is called "Dizzy Dishes" You can find it on YouTube. She is on for a short time but her design is far different from the way she is now. Actually the voice actress, Mae Questal, did the voice for so many decades until her retirement and death The changes of Betty Boop was seen in many shorts and it seemed by the late 40's her look was the way it looks today, a woman who would stay black and white forevver (although some cartoons, she was in color)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have defiently changesd for sures, with their voices and action styles and from being a cartoon or a puppet, the 1980's version was always considered a classic gem, but I don't think it was always the best. Why? Well because the voice actors would juggle ariund from one turtle to antoher (you can hear a difference) the styles and animation were low key and so were the catchphrases, but a big plus, the voice actor for Shredder. The actor who plyaed Uncle Phil in the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, James Avery (but he is much scarier as Uncle Phil for sure)
When Nickelodeon came around and changed it, we were in for a huge surprise. It turned out to be awesome, making it darker and have deeper story infect, it told much detaling on Splinter's life before he turned into... I don't even know how that happens. One of the voice actors went from one Teenage Moutant NInja Turtles to the other. Rob Paulsen now voices Donatello. But there are some upsets as well, who they got to voice Shredder He's ok, but I liked James Avery more and April is now a teenager, not a news reporter with yellow jumpsuit. But I feel as if the shows go on, it's the turtles that are in more danger than she is, I don't know It's nothing like the 80's version, but I still like the style and story complexity.
But I wouldn't consider it a classic. But something to know where they are now
Some classic cartoons fade away with the night as the sun rises and then there are some that get cosmetic changes, different voice actors and suprises that you might like or hate Cartoons are there to entertain us, for us to enjoy even if we get older, we are classic for those nostalgic cartoons, even Warner Brother made Bugs Bunny and Daffy live in a house now and made the show seem more like a Seinfeld episode for kids, but I perfer the classic, I know they're trying but I don't like it as Mel Blanc voicing these characters. Even Inspector gadget got a different version of him from two flopped movies (see the cartoon) and then were made fun of on Robot Chicken
Then again maybe it's best to figure out which classic cartoons are best alone and weather or not to change them by movie or by another series. Till then enjoy the new year coming and Ciao Bloggers! For this year anyway

Festivus
Seinfeld has made so many great episode. And one favorite had to be the Festivus episode.
Who thought of it up? Well George's father, Frank Costanza of course. He thought of it while purchasing a gift. Since then, a 'new holiday was born'
Every December 23rd, the day before Christmas Eve, Seinfeld, and their amazing fans (like me) would air our grievances and wrestle...
yes wrestle.
But it's more than that. I guess it seemed that maybe George and his family maybe Don't celebrate Christmas. I don't know what the story is. But I guess that the Costanzas don't or do celebrate Christmas. All I know is they don't have a tree. They have a pole that requires no tinsel. George's father finds it very distracting. Kramer is busy with working at a bagel place and wants to find out more about Festivus.
In my opinion, I think that Festivus is an interesting holiday. I don't celebrate it but some massive Seinfeld fans do. I've seen big poles being sold. People would want to air their grievance. Let them. The 23rd of December is a holiday for them for sure. Don't know why I don't celebrate. Maybe because I have so much holidays to deal with, that another one from a television show might be too much for me. Won't blog again till after Christmas, but before this year ends. But have a happy and healthy holiday no matter if it is Christmas, Kwanzaa or even yes, Festivus.

stressful holiday season
It seems everyone is in a rush for this Christmas holiday to come. I can tell. Working at a grocery store, I could tell some customers are stressed out. I on the other hand, am worried about my birthday this weekend. Stressing out about the holidays is the least of my worries.
I bet I'm not the only one that has to deal with having a birthday in December. But it's just my own stress. Other people have their own stress. Getting presents, baking having parties everything. It's just stress, but eventually it will pay off. When we have family over. Then the stress and depression once the day after New Year's day comes and we go back to our back to work/school blues.
Stress is a part of life yes, but don't over due it during the holiday seasons even if you have to deal with a birthday around the holiday season. I will deal with it like I do every year and after that enjoy the Christmas season. Till then ciao bloggers.

12 angry men. and movie spoofing
I've learned something while seeing a really great. The classic Henry Fonda version of 12 Angry men where 'll jurors convince Henry Fonda that an accused boy is guilty, but he tries to convince the others his innocence. They updated the movie with Jack Lemmon and George C Scott. I prefer the original to that one.
But watching this I learned that many t.v. shows have spoofed this movie. I guess being so popular, and court room setting dramas or comedies spoof movies all the time especially this movie. I love this movie. I don't know why but I guess classic movies really are very interesting to me and I just love them. Some are good and others well....
12 angry men is mostly spoofed for the jury version. One Simpson episode had spoofed it when Homer was on the jury, but it seemed to have spoofed another movie as well. Where the mayor's son was in trouble for hurting a waiter but Bart knew all along what really happened and Homer just wanted a free room.
3rd rock from the sun spoofed it as well when John Lithgow's character was on the jury as well. Don't remember much of the episode but was pretty funny. An early Hey Arnold spoofed 12 angry men as well. Seemed a student was accused for pulling the fire alarm. Arnold (one of the jurors) knew he was innocent since there was peanut butter on the fire alarm handle and well.. I think one of the jurors turned out to be the culprit.
I always enjoy seeing this movie. Sadly all the juror actors are dead. The reamake, some of them are still alive. But the classic is always the best for me. Till then, Ciao bloggers

happy Thanksgiving
Don't have much to say but to wish everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving this year. Even though it doesn't mean you have to eat your dinner so quick just to rush out to the nearest mall and wait for black Friday sales.
Just relax be with your family, enjoy it. The sales will still be there. It doesn't mean family isn't important. Unless that's tradition to you. For me, I help my mom, watch the parade, listen to "Alice's restaurant" while cleaning then my dad watches sports while the family comes around. We eat, enjoy each other's company then watch Home Alone. That's what I call tradition. Happy Tbhanksgiving everyone. Ciao bloggers.

better with astrology than i thought
It's been a while since I have focused on astrology. Thinking maybe I didn't know as well as I use to. Knowing the simbles, the dates, the planet's that surround them (knowing some line with Pluto, but not anyone) trying to study up on my astrology as well as maybe finding solutions that it might not just be in the stars. It just be more than that.
We are now on Scorpio for eight more days till my sign, Sagittarius, is on alignment with earth 's orbit. But if someone is born on the cusp of a sign it is a bit more tricky to extinguish which sign they are more like. By the morning, I feel they are more in tune with the last sign while being born in the late afternoon or nightfall, they more in tune to be the beginning of a new sign.
It all depends on their mood and their sign as well as learning deep down about their astrology sign. Like in my first blog post, I listed the astrology signs and what they are capable of. Knowing that horoscopes can always lead to false hopes and dreams, but some people can still believe in it. I think I know a lot about astrology. In my heart, I know I am somewhat an astrologist, but I don't want to televise it like some people do for glory and money, just know in my heart, I'm better. Some people don't believe in it, others think it's the work of the devil, but I think it's only something interning that people (like me) enjoy.
Till then, enjoy what you believe in, even if others think it's stupid, I'll always enjoy astrology and learning about. I love it and will never stop enjoying it because I am better at it than I thought. Ciao bloggers and keep looking at the stars.

the amazing animaniacs!!!!!
Why do I wanna blog about a show in the 90's? Well because it was awesome for starters and it had an amazing list of cast and characters. Three strange creatures created by Warner Brothers studios. They were named Yakko, Wakko and Dot. The show started in 1993 and I loved it even as I was a kid. They even had characters like a psychologist who watches over the three siblings. A nurse who Yakko and Wakko fall in love over every time.
They also have mini episodes with "Pinky and the Brain" (two lab mice who want to take over the world, but fail) A stubborn squirrel named Slappy, a cat and dog looking for a home, pigeons that act like the goodfellas.
There is even a chicken who tries to disguise himself but fail. What I think of this cartoon is amazing. Produced by Steven Spielberg, it seemed promising and today, unlike when I was little, there were some hidden innuendos that I couldn't't believe they really had. Mostly Yakko kissing and saying to the audience, "goodnight everybody" watching them made me laugh.Even every time the nurse would come around, Yakko and Wakko would say, "hello nurse!"
They have been around for over twenty years and it seemed that they would not die out even if all they are showing are repeats. By the end, they had a movie called "Wakko's wish" where there is an evil king that had (or thought) he had the Warner kids assassinated. But it seemed that, Yakko, Wakko and Dot are on the run to get the one wish they are searching for. It seemed they are royalty and are the princes and the princess of the town. Wakko eventually gets the wish and has two heypennies. It was a good movie and it felt as it was the last of the Animaniacs series where it reveals what happens at the end with all the characters. Turns out the dumb nurse is really smart, the dog and cat find a home with Dr. Scratchnsniff and Yakko, Wakko and Dot rule a kingdom.
It was good and I loved it, the voice actors for Yakko, Wakko and Dot have reunited in 20 years and they are awesome. It seems that Animanics have also taught us lessons like the state capitals, the presidents, multiplication and Rob Paulsen (the voice of Yakko) entertains his animaniac fans by singing "Nations of the world" as Yakko. You can find that on YouTube. Seems they can't even escape being an animaniac. Till then, Ciao bloggers and GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!

edna krabapple, we will miss u
Her name was Marcia Wallace. She just passed away recently from breast cancer. She was known for many TV rolls in her life. Being a contestant on match game, she was in the Bob Newhart show, but I think I've known her best as voicing a certain fourth grade teacher named Edna Krabapple.
Marcia started voicing Mrs. Krabapple around the first season and eventually became a popular teacher Bart use to torture. He would make every day of Mrs. Krabapple's teaching hard, but eventually learns that she is a real human being.
Mrs. Krabapple also was considered a lover. Being divorced she would go for any guy that was available. Principal Skinner was definitely in love with her. He even proposed to her. It didn't work out. Bart even dated her once after hurting her feeling, he felt that she seemed like a nice person. Soon she ended up marrying Ned Flanders.
Now, I guess Mrs. Krabapple will be gone, and there will be a new teacher for Bart to torture and Flanders will have to remarry again. But that "ha!" Laugh she use to do that was sensational and very memorable will be silent as Marcia is now laughing up In heaven as now heaven has gained more laughter since she left. RIP Marcia u and Edna will b missed.

Peanuts special: The great pumpkin
One of my favorite Peanuts specials of all time. Loved it since I was little, and still love it today. Linus believes in a character called "The great Pumpkin" nobody believes in him, Sally wants to though since she's in love with him, but this would be her first time to go trick or treating with her friends.
Most of the time is focused on Linus and his belief in "The Great Pumpkin" such as children believe in Santa, Linus believes in The Great Pumpkin. Charlie's costume is messed up, almost all of them are ghosts (Except Lucy is a witch) But Snoppy' s character is a WWI flying ace and there is a scene with him flying his doghouse, imagining it is a WWI plane that get' s shot down.
While trick-r-treating all the kids get candy. All except Charlie Brown of course who always says, "I got a rock", meanwhile Sally waits with Linus for the Great Pumpkin that never shows and she gets angry at him. Eventually Linus stays all night at the pumpkin patch waiting for "The Great Pumpkin." While the others go to a party and have fun, asking Charlie Brown to model for a pumpkin.
At the end of the movie The Great Pumpkin never shows, it's the first day of November but Linus Hans't given up saying that he knows he'll be there next year.
Love this special, not as much as the Christmas one but I've noticed something. There have been a lot of spoofs to this version. They've made fun of it on MAD TV, Family guy, Simpson's did a Tree house of horror special on it making Milhouse be Linus. So many spoofs of it, some good, some bad, but the original is always the best. Enjoy seeing it when u can. It's worth a watch. Till then, Ciao Bloggers

candy bars, the changes for better and worse it
Halloween means parties, costumes and of course CANDY!!!! Sweet glorious candy. With gooey centers in the middle, to just a plain old chocolate bar. But these days, I've seen changes in many candy bars. They want to blend in the seasons such as having a candy corn flavored m&m or a holiday red and green wrapper on a hershey kiss.
Candy bars have been become health continuous too. People love candy, but can't have the guilt of having one sweet taste. Seen some candy companies use more dark chocolate in their candy bars saying it Is better for the heart. 3 Musketeers bar has found a lighter way for their candy bar and turning it into a crisp. So many candy companies (that are not related to the Mars or hershey's) have their own take on a chocolate bar. Some are even selling gluton free bars.
Does it always mean better for us though? I mean candy isn't always the healthiest for us but it being Halloween, we are looking forward to a hershey bar, any flavor from original to the cookies and cream flavor, but their kisses have a wide variety of flavors. Coconut, caramel filled even seasonal with a candy corn flavor as well. But having more variety in a bar, or a kiss, does it make the product better or worse? For me, I'll stick to the original flavors. Not go for all the crazy stuff.
For me less is more and better than all the crazy stuff that goes into a candy bar. Knowing that many different companies have different approaches to having a perfect candy bar. But for now, enjoy the candies, because they will change once again. Ciao bloggers!

Too Close to Christmas!!!
What the hell is going on???? I know it's not even October yet, but I saw a recent commercial from Kmart and it was for a holiday lay away.
Why are they rushing the holidays so fast. It's not even Halloween, god not even October yet and they think it's best to rush everything now. To rush Thanksgiving... just to get to Christmas. Yes I love Christmas, but my birthday is first.... but let's enjoy the autumn as much as we can. It just arrived, I don't want winter to come this quick. Geez!! I have a feeling next year, they'll be doing this in August.
Rushing for the holidays. I know we'll have to deal with it sooner or later, but can we just enjoy the ending of September and the beginning of October? I mean can we enjoy Autumn before we decide it's time to get ready for Christmas. I have already seen Kmart's holiday commercial... Which store will be next, Walmart, Lowes? Well I wouldn't be surprise because I went into Costco and they already had Christmas decorations in. So did the Hallmark store. They had Christmas cards all set up and ready (sickening to me) as well as Christmas tree decorations.
It's not that I hate Christmas, but it's having my birthday be coming closer, and closer and closer. Next year, I will be 30. Having to see Christmas commercials come so early is just too much to bear. Seeing them on the first week of November is fine and I'm use to that, but the last week of September???? Why so soon... are we trying to find the Christmas that we are getting for that special someone??? I just think it's too soon, and every time I see it, I know my birthday is creeping closer and closer. Just knowing it will be here before I know and so will Christmas. Till then, won't blog till October. Enjoy what we have left of Autumn, because by next week, we'll see another Christmas commercial. Ciao bloggers!

Pop Tarts, are they just disgusting now?????
I knew that when I was little i use to like the Top Parts that were with no frustrating, the strawberry flavored. Back in the 80's people use to eat this stuff up like it was a pie pastry in a square that Kellogg's invented that they they could heat and take on the run. That was back then, now I've realized the recent flavors of Pop tarts have gotten really disgusting. For seasonal stuff, they would have a pumpkin pie flavored or a peppermint flavored, so they would become really really gross. I mean has Pop tarts have gone too far? They once had a peanut butter and jelly flavored. They have an orange cream flavored and banana split as well.
Sometimes they say putting a pop tart in the freezer and eat it cold to make it cold, maybe it'll work for a chocolate flavored pop tart, but not all pop tart flavors. Also found out about the icing they put on the pop tarts and what it's really made of... if you are a vegetarian, I would stay clear of those frosted. (I use to like the s'mores) now I'm not a big fan of it.
The commercials were weird. When it was the 80's there was a talking toaster named Melvin. It was as if a kid was on an acid trip and talking to a toaster. Now it's just kids in a drawing with pop tarts that have a personality and lured int traps set by kids. WTF???? I don't understand. Are they really trying to sell the product or is it just some way to get kids more on acid talking to toasters? Well the strange flavors and commercials are making it not as it use to be. Maybe they are trying to become healthy with weird flavors, but I don't think it's working. I'll stick with an original flavors like strawberry with no frosting, that's more of the pop tart that I grew up with and love. These new pop tarts, what's wrong with the Kelloggs company.
Are they trying to be hip, healthy, weird are they trying to lead toward the kids by making oatmeal pop tarts as well as making disgusting limited time flavors as well??? I don't think Pop tarts will ever get the hip fan fair of lovable kids it did in the 90's with their horrid commercials, then again, their commercials never helped.
Till then, I'll always remember tasting the crust of a good Pop tart from the good old days of my child hood. On the plus side, tried one recently and the strawberry flavoring (even though it was smuckers) tasted better than it did when I was a kid. Till then enjoy your toaster pastries either it be pop tarts or something else and remember the good old days. Till then, Caio Bloggers! (BTW: They use to be a cereal too in the 90's)
Sometimes they say putting a pop tart in the freezer and eat it cold to make it cold, maybe it'll work for a chocolate flavored pop tart, but not all pop tart flavors. Also found out about the icing they put on the pop tarts and what it's really made of... if you are a vegetarian, I would stay clear of those frosted. (I use to like the s'mores) now I'm not a big fan of it.
The commercials were weird. When it was the 80's there was a talking toaster named Melvin. It was as if a kid was on an acid trip and talking to a toaster. Now it's just kids in a drawing with pop tarts that have a personality and lured int traps set by kids. WTF???? I don't understand. Are they really trying to sell the product or is it just some way to get kids more on acid talking to toasters? Well the strange flavors and commercials are making it not as it use to be. Maybe they are trying to become healthy with weird flavors, but I don't think it's working. I'll stick with an original flavors like strawberry with no frosting, that's more of the pop tart that I grew up with and love. These new pop tarts, what's wrong with the Kelloggs company.

9/11 Never Forget
I know it has only been about 12 years since that tragic day, but it still plays in my mind as if it was just yesterday. Why did it happen? How come it did? Why we're so many lives lost in the process? This day really changed America forever, just like December 7th, September 11th is a day that will go down in history.
It changed New York. It changed our views in life. We had to become more cautious and more aware that we have been attacked by people who want us scared . But we have courage to show that America has become very proud of our fighting soldiers and many battles we might win or lose many lives, we are fighting for our freedom. We are not scared, America has changed since 9/11 but today we stop and think about that sad day when we lost many lives and we know America changed forever. I lost someone in one of the towers. They never found him and like many of the other families who lost their loved ones that day in the tower or on the planes, they'll never get over it.
I assure you today 12 years later, the hurt is still there, we are still fighting for freedom, and we will be praying for peace, and when that day comes, hopefully everything will be whole again. Till then, Ciao bloggers and never forget 9/11

cartoon ducks
Sorry about being absent for a while. But now I'm back. Why do I want to blog about cartoons that involve ducks like Daffy or Donald or Darkwing?? Well we grew up with them when we were kids didn't we.
In my life I grew up watching Ducktales where an old Scrooge Mcduck and his annoying nephews Huey, Duey and Louie go on strange adventures finding treasure. They get into so much trouble, but eventually get saved by Scrooge being so greedy (how ironic is that). I didn't care for many of the other characters such as an old nanny that had to watch them and a poorly who everyone liked but I don't.
A lot of people would like one cartoon duck but not the other. I of course am taking about Donald and Daffy Duck. One was a Warner brothers the other was a Disney.
If I had to choose. I like both of them. Mel Blanc did a perfect job voicing Daffy until his death. Now the person who voices Daffy Duck is horrible. Donald Duck was ok and the voice actor who voiced him in the 80's is still around today. His name is Tony Anselmo who replaced Clarence Nash and since then no one ever replaced ever since. So from today I choose Donald over Daffy, but I miss the original Mickey mouse voice.
There are other cartoons that have ducks in them, mostly from Disney and they came around in the 90's.one was Darkwing duck. I never watched one episode of it. I think it's about I don't know. A duck that's a superhero I guess. There was another one that was about superhero ducks that was from outer space. The leader was voiced by one of the actors from Beverly hills 90210. The title was from a movie that was NOTHING LIKE THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!
It's called the mighty ducks. My God was this show stupid, and also my guilty pleasure I hate to admit it. Why it had ok episodes, but many of them had to deal with fighting off a villain from outer space and they play hockey as well. It was stupid as well and it only lasted one season. Another cartoon duck show that was also a guilty pleasure and sucked at the same time was quack pack. It was about Donald Duck, his nephews (you can actually hear what they are saying) rather them they sound like they do on Ducktales. Daisy is in this too and she's a news reporter. My God this is just stupid. But I hate to say I did watch a few episodes of it. It ended after two seasons. . Not every cartoons that star a duck end badly. Donald and Daffy had their own shows before they went to scrap, they're just cartoon characters. Mostly it's just bad ideas and horrid writing, but some people are starting to like that new looney tunes cartoon. Maybe they're is a future for Daffy and Donald after all. Ciao bloggers!

Why I love the show Castle?? ( Have episode ideas too)
My mother got me hooked on this show about a writer who ends up working for a police department and gets involved with one of them who is only there to avenge her mother's cruel death. His name is Richard Castle.
I love this show. Have seen almost every episode! I don't know why, but have been getting great episode ideas from this show. Haven't had many lately since their season finale. There are two other police detectives Castle knows named Espisito and Ryan, who are pretty cool and it's mostly Castle and Becket (the one who is avenging her mother's death) that solve almost all the cases. But it seemed to have all started when a psychotic murderer started copying the deaths the same way that are in Castle's books, but not very accurately. They died the same way but were in a different position, or were wearing a different dress. In the end it turned out to be a relative of one of the victims and uses Castle as a human shield to escape. But is arrested.
Since then, Castle and Becket are like the Starsky and Hutch of crime solving. Mostly the real crime to solve is to find out who killed Becket's mother. They eventually find out who did but still can't find out who sent him to kill her mother. That is still being solved in some episodes. Recently, we find out Castle's father's whereabouts. So many episodes and so many of them were so good and gets you guessing on who did the crime and why. I made up many episode ideas of my own such as an old ice cream truck driver is murdered and took out over 300,000 dollars before he died. Another episode involved a women with the best yard is struck dead with a blow to the head by a lawn gnome and it could be one of the other contestants. So many ideas. I still have more but there is one question eating up many people's minds as of now. There seems to be a love situation going on with Beckett and Castle since they met and after their boss was shot and killed by a sniper that shot Beckett too Castle said, "I love you, don't die Kate!" Since then, they haven't been apart.
The recent episodes has shown them as a couple and now question is heating up their mind. Beckett is about to get the job of a life time in D.C. but that would mean leaving NYC and Castle. When he finds out he gets angry and when they meet at the swing set he shows here a ring and asks, "Will you merry me?" and that's where it ended from here. I think if she said yes, I feel the magic of those two would be gone. But then again, she will leave if she says no, but I don't know what else to write. Don't know if they will get married, or if they will just be friends. Right now, been looking at my early episode ideas. Not great a but a good start for now. Will see what future holds, because even if it's just a TV show, it doesn't mean you still feel pain for two characters wanting something desperate that only a writer can imagine up. Till then, enjoy the rest of August. Will blog in early September!! Ciao Bloggers!

The Poor Dolphins in Japan
Why am I blogging about this??
I am so passionate about dolphins and I love them so much. If I were any animal in the world it would be a dolphin. Why??? Because they are beautiful intellegent creatures that would not harm a soul and yet are being hunted down and killed in Japan mostly for sport...
But I think I'm over exaggerating here. Been hearing word that dolphins are dying over seas in Japan mostly because of fishermen in Japan are catching them in their nets and dolphins are found in the oceans and beaches of Japan bleeding and dying. As the old saying goes. "SAVE THE WHALES" Well there should be a "SAVE THE DOLPHINS" posters and t-shirts around here as well. I don't blame Japan at all, but I feel as if it is somewhat the fault of the people at sea, catching fish for their cuisines, not knowing a wonderful dolphin can be trapped in the net, tangled in the net and die. It seems as if they might somewhat careless out at sea and just are not looking hard enough at those nets. Dolphins are wonderful creatures, but they can't protect themselves. I can't do everything myself, but I always pray for the dolphins to be safe anywhere they are, even if they end in the seas of Japan. We always buy dolphin safe tuna (well almost every tuna is dolphin safe now a days) But still I tear up when I see dolphins (even whales) dead whipped up on the seas of Japan or anywhere else for that matter. I pray every night that hopefully some fisherman out there will be aware of dolphins getting caught in their nets.
I know Dolphins are intelligent and are magnificent, but at least I know that there will be hope for all sea creatures, and that Japanese dolphins will be save by a miracle, any miracle, but hopefully someone will protest against this tragedy. Till then, hope is still within all dolphins from here and Japan and eventually nothing horrible will ever happen to those poor dolphins ever again. Ciao Bloggers!

POEM: I Thought
I thought the thoughts
I talked the talks
I walked the walks
I walked the walks
I thought I might stop for a drink
There I see
you sitting there
in the coffee shop
swindling your feet
I saw you cry
I thought I'd try
To cheer you up
with a smile
You laughed
you hugged
you kissed
I guessed worked
We talked and talked
talked and talked
the day and night away
until it was time
to go our separate way
I felt as I just made
a brand new friend today
I went home,
forgot to ask for your number
but thought and thought
I might see you again
at the same coffee shop
the very next day

Why are the Kardashin's so popular?
I don't watch their show, I don't care for them, but they are everywhere... They are like cockroaches.
I'm talking about the Kardashians. Who are they?? They are a bunch of idiots that have their own show on E! and why, because Kim had a sex tape a long time ago and since then her whole family is considered famous. I think they're nothing but a joke.
Why? Mostly because every time they do something stupid, TMZ or twitter of Facebook has to know about it. Kim is pregnant and has a kid. WHO CARES??? Ok that's nice that she is a mom and all but she isn't going to be watching her baby that much. She's just going to leave her child to the care of her stupid mother and jackass father, who use to be famous but now is getting a lot of negative publicity on their show Keeping up with the Kardashians. Which I don't watch.
I know there are more Kardashians than Kim. There's Kourtney, who has her own show of course called Kim and Kourtney take Miami.
But Kim is the most talked about of the Kardashian sisters. Why? Not only because of her sex tape but because of all the publicists and everyone she slept with like Dameon Thomas and recently some guy she slept with named Kris Humpries (who is getting a lot of talk about as well)
The show is crap! I've seen a bit of it and I'm amazed that they have a show that people watch and like (maybe they're the same people that like the Honey Boo Boo girl) But I'm not saying they're horrible people. It's the fame and fortune that made them that way. They might have been intelligent people. Hell they still might be, but I don't think it's appropriate for cameras and paparazzi to be bugging them night and day.
I'm not a fan of them and I never will be. I don't hate them, I just hate what they've become. I bet Kim, Kourtney and the other sister (if there is one) would of had a normal happy life if they never had that stupid sex tape incident and the stupid shows, and Kim now dating Kanye West, that's hitting the bottom of the barrel. A lot of reality shows on E! are very stupid and maybe that's why the Kardashians are famous, because of E! But thank god for "the soup" and the hilarity they give for the Kardashians knowing they would of had a normal life, but no they don't and they are spreading everywhere like a virus that will never stop. Till then, we can accept it and ignore it because we just don't care about them, and why am I blogging about this, because I needed to find out if life would of been different if the Kardashians were normal but then there would be another family to criticize. Till then, enjoy the rest of July and I will blog again around the beginning of August. Ciao for now

POEM: NIGHT
At night,
the world seems different,
much darker,
creepier
A different world has emerged
when the sun is gone,
Lights get brighter,
People seem different
They seem to be a different person,
When night comes around,
More Protective,
Tired,
and when night falls,
things seem to change,
It's as if we entered a different,
new world,
that is not ours,
but yet
we still call home.

HAPPY 4th!!!!!
Today is Independence day. America is approximately 237 years old. That is old. But we have to remember why America came to be what it is today. On this day, we had the Deceleration of Independence signed by so many gentlemen in the great city of Philadelphia. Even though people think of it more of Fireworks and Barbecues, there is more history to the 4th of July, such as why we declared freedom in America.
Ben Franklin, John Hancock and so many other great men signed the Deceleration of Independence over 237 years ago so we can show that not only America is born, but that we have liberties and rights and freedoms. That we also can become independent and it was signed on that day alone. And the ironic thing is many years later John Addams and Thomas Jefferson would both die on the Fourth on the same day, on the same year as well.
A year after the Deceleration of Independence was signed, thirteen gunshots were fired to salute the thirteen states that were in America at the time. And in 1779 they had to wait till July 5th to celebrate since the 4th was on a Sunday.
Knowing that we have made America what it is today, going through so many wars and battles, changing History every single day, saluting the fallen soldiers and the soldiers that are still with us today, I say today have a great time and remember what Independence Day is all about as you fire up the grill and see wonderful fireworks up at the night sky. Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July and I will blog again later. :) Happy 4th of July everyone!

what is laziness????
People can be lazy, procrastinate, can not know that life is going by so fast in a blink of an eye that they could get the moments of their life back.
Sometimes being lazy can be considered bad, unhealthy but then again it could just be part of your lifestyle.
Bored? Some people don't know what to do. They try not be so lazy by doing something active in their life. They have lacking effort so they to stay lazy (like Garfield or Homer Simpson) But then again, in other religions, there is a different way of looking at it.
In the Christian religion, laziness (or sloth) is considered one of the seven deadly sins. In Buddhism, they translate "Laziness" into "spiritual sloth"
In the short story by Washingtion Irving, the story of "RIP VAN WINKLE" tells of a man who slept for over a hundred years because of his laziness soon to find out that everyone he loved, including his nagging wife, have died. Even there is more to the story than a man who falls asleep.
Why am I blogging about laziness? Mostly because we've been taking our life for granted. We usually don't realize when we get board, we can be either lazy or even worse... but laziness seems the simple way of staying active, even if it's the sloth in all of us. Weather we can stay awake and sleep our lives away or if we can try to do what we were put on earth to do and not procrastinate everyday. But once in a while a little nap here and there doesn't hurt. Till then, try not to be too lazy and enjoy your summer while you still can. Ciao Bloggers!

What is with new realality shows being lamer, and lamer and lamer???
I watch a lot of this show called 'the soup' it is funny as hell, and when they get a segment called: "REALITY SHOW CLIP TIME" they show clips of reality shows that have clips that they love to make fun of. This got me to thinking.
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY LAME REALITY SHOWS TODAY???
One of them is called Small town security. Oh my GOD!!!! That is such a stupid show. It's about a security place somewhere in Alabama where very stupid people live. They are stupid person. One woman is so fat, she eats herself pactically to death, and they call this show reality.
Now a days you see reality shows for people that want to win over a hundred thousand dollars or even a million dollars to get their face on a cover of a magazine, or to lose a lot of weight (a la: biggest loser) which is now a huge hit reality show. But so many reality show are very lame these days. I mean if you want to lose weight, that's fine as you admit you want to lose your self dignity by being on TV as well. There are so many reality shows that have the word 'red-neck' in it too as I imagine thanks to Jeff Foxworthy started the whole "Red-neck" phenomenon. TLC has gotten stupider shows like "Toddlers in Tiaras" where parents of toddlers parade their kids that sometimes don't want to be doing something that would scar them for life. I always that the parents will be going to hell for this.
Another show on TLC that is horrible(thanks to "Toddlers in Tiaras") is Honny Boo Boo child. My god this show makes unintelligent people seem somewhat smarter compared to this family. "The human thumb" or (Chewbacka 2) as I like to call her is so fat, it's amazing stupid people want to have a show of their own just to have their child be famous.
There are even competition reality shows that are for some reason such as (Chopped or Survivor or Amazing Race) Some reality shows deal with winning million dollars (ALA: WWTBAM or Deal or No Deal) But the worst reality shows have to be on E!
Mostly because of a certain woman and her family called the Kardashians and the family is just a joke. I don't like Kim or her family and she only got famous for one thing, her sex video and her family. Her show is just one joke after another, her sisters are stupid as well and I think E! network is just putting on dumber shows every day. Now they're trying to get Justin Beiber wannabe's a tv show of their own called "Wanted" or something like that. They're a new boy band and it's like a lame version on Nickelodeon called "Big Time Rush".
I shouldn't really bad mouth all reality shows: Some are really good, but now a days I feel as if some reality shows are just lame and stupid and just an excuse to be on TV. I still like Hell's Kitchen and I still like Amazing Race and Master Chef. They're good. But now a days it seems the Reality Shows aren't what they use to be and are just considered plain dumb and eventually we'll find a better reality show in the near future, but for now, we're stuck with what we're stuck with dumb reality shows. Till then, Ciao Bloggers
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY LAME REALITY SHOWS TODAY???
One of them is called Small town security. Oh my GOD!!!! That is such a stupid show. It's about a security place somewhere in Alabama where very stupid people live. They are stupid person. One woman is so fat, she eats herself pactically to death, and they call this show reality.
Now a days you see reality shows for people that want to win over a hundred thousand dollars or even a million dollars to get their face on a cover of a magazine, or to lose a lot of weight (a la: biggest loser) which is now a huge hit reality show. But so many reality show are very lame these days. I mean if you want to lose weight, that's fine as you admit you want to lose your self dignity by being on TV as well. There are so many reality shows that have the word 'red-neck' in it too as I imagine thanks to Jeff Foxworthy started the whole "Red-neck" phenomenon. TLC has gotten stupider shows like "Toddlers in Tiaras" where parents of toddlers parade their kids that sometimes don't want to be doing something that would scar them for life. I always that the parents will be going to hell for this.
Another show on TLC that is horrible(thanks to "Toddlers in Tiaras") is Honny Boo Boo child. My god this show makes unintelligent people seem somewhat smarter compared to this family. "The human thumb" or (Chewbacka 2) as I like to call her is so fat, it's amazing stupid people want to have a show of their own just to have their child be famous.
There are even competition reality shows that are for some reason such as (Chopped or Survivor or Amazing Race) Some reality shows deal with winning million dollars (ALA: WWTBAM or Deal or No Deal) But the worst reality shows have to be on E!
Mostly because of a certain woman and her family called the Kardashians and the family is just a joke. I don't like Kim or her family and she only got famous for one thing, her sex video and her family. Her show is just one joke after another, her sisters are stupid as well and I think E! network is just putting on dumber shows every day. Now they're trying to get Justin Beiber wannabe's a tv show of their own called "Wanted" or something like that. They're a new boy band and it's like a lame version on Nickelodeon called "Big Time Rush".

Ed, Edd n Eddy (Why I loved this Cartoon)
When I was young around the late 90's, this Canadian cartoon show started showing up on Cartoon Network called Ed, Edd n Eddy. Gave it a try and loved it. It's about three misfits, all named Ed. One is tall and a little forgetful, but for reason can be intelligent but doesn't know it named Ed, a smart guy who wears a cap on his head and never takes it off and goes by the name of 'double d' (or Edd) and a loud mouth thinks he knows it all but doesn't leader of the group who tries to show off, loves money and says he learns from his brother named Eddy.
Now where do I begin. First off: Everyone hates them (mostly Eddy) but since Ed and Edd are with them they hate them as well. There are some other kids that are there too one is a bratty girl that is Ed's little sister named Sarah and her friend Jimmy who is afraid of his own shadow. A tall guy named Rolf who came from another country and eats a lot of meat. Kevin is their main problem. Why?
Because every time he sees Ed, Edd or Eddy he calls them "Dorks" That's his pet name for them. He always rides his bicycle and Eddy hates him the most. He tries his best to think he's better than Kevin. Mostly because he thinks Kevin is just a big shot.
Nazz is another character that Edd and Eddy have a crush on. I don't know if Ed ever had a crush on her. She likes the guys a lot but sometimes, when they get out of line she gets angry, but it's Sarah who throws a temper tantrom like a two year old.
And then you have three girls named May, Lee and Marie. They love Ed, Edd n Eddy. Lee Loves Eddy May Loves Ed and I think Marie has a thing for smart guys AKA Double D.
The parents are never seen in this show and I mean never seen! Except for one or two episodes where Ed and Sarah's mother is seen. Only her back side and her hand, never her face. The kids mention their parents many times. Like Rolf's Nana or Double D's mother and father and I always thought Ed and Sarah's dad was dead. But who knows, with him never seen who knows. Eddy's dad is seen, but only his hand. Eddy even mentions his brother a lot saying that he use to own the culdesac and was popular.
It's over now, and how they ended it, I thought was very good. They did as a movie called "Ed, Edd n Eddy's big picture show" The Ed's are in so much trouble because of a prank that went wrong. The kids are so angry that are wanting to kill Eddy so the Ed's try to hide out. Eddy decides it would be best if they all lived with Eddy's brother for a while the problem is that they couldn't find him. They have clues left out by his brother and go off on an adventure, with the kids closing ever behind.
Eventually they find his brother and so do the other kids, Eddy being happy but soon the other kids find out Eddy's brother is a real jerk and decides to hurt Eddy worse than the kids would have done. Making him say "uncle" and pulling pranks on him. Soon realizing how much pain Eddy was really in, they forget their hatred for Eddy and decide to save him. Ed and Edd too. Eventually, Ed knows Eddy's older brother out and Eddy eventually tells Ed and Double D the the truth that he was lying about his brother the whole time. He just wanted to be cool, to be accepted and to be part of the click that his brother created so kids would like him. Happily, his truth set him free of all the sadness, greed and anger that he had to deal with throughout the whole show. (They do break a lot of fourth wall jokes) And the kids finally except all the Ed's except for one: Jonny 2x4 and his pal which is a piece wood named plank. But who cares.
The show was pretty ok, but I mean in my opinion they had some good episodes, some bad episodes and at the end is where it all paid off. Was very, good ending. Usually with tv movies that involved a series finale you expect it to suck like "The Proud Family Movie" But this one was very well put together. Thought it ended in a good note and I found out the creator made this show as a dare. Well that dare was worth it. Till then, ciao bloggers! and Ed, Edd n Eddy ROCKED!

Poem: We
WE
We all want to be happy,
and healthy,
we all want the best for us,
and our kids,
We find a needle,
prick ourselves,
bleed to see
that we are still alive.
We all want to accomplish much in life
But...
we won't truly be satisfied,
until we're gone.

Mystery Diners: The show
What is Mystery Diners????
Well it is a show, where I think it's a definite fake, where restaurant owners call this one man up name Charles Stiles.
He, along with some other people go to the restaurant that needs help because the owner thinks someone in the restaurant is either stealing money from them, or they are tampering with the food... god knows what. And I just think they just want to be on the show and get all the glory.
I don't know if the owners even have a problem with their restaurant. I just think they are getting the person who is causing the problems, fired for no apparent reason. They just want their restaurant and themselves to be on TV, so what do they do, they get Charles Stiles (who I think is going along with this charade) and asks for their help.
Other times, I think it's just they need help so badly they call him and his mystery diner friends to source out the problem and fire the person doing it, and it always ends in "4 months later" the person fired either gets another job or is never seen again. I don't understand it. I like the show yes, but I know it's all smoke and mirrors. Charles Stiles is real, but everything else, you can see it's just fake. Fake, fake, fake!
A lot of reality shows are like that: Hell's kitchen, Master Chef, mostly cooking shows that have turned into reality shows... even cooking shows themselves have been going in that direction. Showing fake food that they've cooked, saying "they have done it" I can see it is fake from a mile away. When they cut to commercial, a real chef places the finished product on the table for the 'faux chef' to say they did when commercial break is over.
Mystery Diner is more like finding fakers, but seeing that the viewer ship is not high, I don't know what will happen next. All I know is it is enjoyable I will admit, but, I know it is not real. Neither is other "Reality" shows. *So many of them now* But it's best to leave the judging to yourself and say weather Reality is or is not an ugly word. BTW: The Kardashians are beyond fake and nowhere Reality! Till then. Ciao Bloggers, and enjoy your memorial day weekend.

what is really in chicken tenders, nuggets... even strips???
Why am I blogging about this? Well people always wondered about what really is in a chicken tender or nugget. Even McNuggets "claim" they have white breast meat, but deep down... they really are processed crap.
Other places would try to say their chicken tenders are better, even Perdue, or Tyson the big name bird companies. They have their version of chicken breast patties they call strips or tenders... and why all the different names for them anyway?
Why are they always called strips or fingers (Chickens don't have fingers) or tenders? They don't tender the meat. The best thing to call them are strips of breast meat, cut into strips, breaded cooked (mostly fried) and served to the public. But that's what they say.
Behind closed doors, nuggets, aren't always considered part of the breast meat. It could even the dark meat as well. I'm not a big fan of chicken nuggets. Never was, never will be. With chicken strips however, it varies. Sometimes it depends on the breading they use and if they are any good. I don't like the ones at chilli's. They really fried them to a crisp and are really, really greasy. Not a fan of that.
Been to other places and tried chicken strips in other places. Applebees has OK chicken tenders (or whatever you want to call them) the fries however, aren't that good. The ones at Longhorn's steakhouse is OK too, but are so small and there are so many. TGI Friday's chicken tenders are OK too, not the best but not the worst.
I don't think I'll ever find a great chicken strip meal like I would with Pizza, but don't think I want to either. Although the best pizza ever is not even in PA, it's all the way in North Carolina. But I'll blog about that another time.
Just be careful with purchasing or ordering chicken, strip wise or any other way. You'll never know if it's truly a real chicken or fake, but it's best to eat it anyway. We all need protein. Till then, Ciao bloggers.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!
Today is a day where stop and take the to tell how much we love our mothers, god-mothers, grandmothers and how much our moms really mean to us.
My mom is my rock, my heart and soul and I love her so much. She means the world to me, and everyone should know that their mothers have done so much for them that mother's day doesn't always have to be on a second Sunday of May. It could just be any day.
Mother's day is one day of the week where we can stop and take some time to say "I love you, Mom" and give her breakfast in bed, or take her out to dinner or give her a big hug and really show her how much you care. Dad's are there for the fun and Mom's are there for the love and caring.
I know my godmother loves owls so I got her an owl to protect her garden as well as some flowers as well. Grandma got a card, and I can't reveal what got my mom.... but I'm always giving her love.
But for people who lost their mothers, their mothers will always be there in spirit, in heart, and always as an angel.
So today, be with your mom, and show her how much you love and care for her. Till then, Ciao Bloggers!! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

MRI's why I have to deal with them
If you don't know what MRI stands for, it means Magnetic Resonance Imagining. Why do I wanna blog about this?
I just came back from an MRI. I have to deal with having an IV in me all day long. I hate needles. I just try to hold my breath, count to ten and let them stick it in me. Praying that it will come out soon.
I've been having trouble with my heart since I was born. Had to go through huge surgeries one after another. I was only a little girl when it happened but it feels as it just happened yesterday. My family has been sticking by my side ever since my huge Fontan Procedure that I had when I was very little. Sadly, had a stroke and now have a scar on the side of my brain since I can't remember much about that.
First off I have to be in this huge tube, it's like being a cannoli, or something rolled up. It is so dark, you have to stare at this gray tube with a purple line through it. There are noises that are so loud that even the earplugs they give me don't even help. Mostly the noises are loud to quiet to "Bang, Bang, Bang" These sounds are really loud.
Then someone tells me to breathe in, then out, then they want me to hold my breath. That will take a while and believe me, one to two hours later, it's over.
Some people get MRI's but different one's. Mine is for my heart (of course), but some people do have MRI's for their heads, bones and other parts of the body, but I think the heart is the most hardest for for the MRI's. More equipment is used and the longer it is, depending on the heart's condition, and me having a three chambered heart, they have to see through all the pictures they take (and that's why I have to hold my breath) it seems me going though year after year just to see how my heart is and having to stay in one position, not moving for almost two hours as the doctors look at my heart and put something cold though my veins from the IV, knowing I just want to know if my heart will ever be healthy. All I know is, it is ok.
Till then, Ciao bloggers!

Alergy Season High this year
Mostly so many people have allergies around the Spring/Summer era.
My mom especially.
I feel sorry for so many people that have to sneeze, deal with teary eyes drippy noses. Feeling as if they have a headache over
and over
and over
and over every single day of spring. It's not fair. I'm minor but some people have to suffer through it for a long time. Their headaches are heavy. They get migraines to the maximum level and all would help is a little Claritin pill, just to make them feel better.
For me, for the love of god, it is stuffing tissues everywhere. Why? Because my nose drips like a faucet day and night. Even though I don't get the migraines that go with the allergies, it's just the dripping nose of the faucet. Even though Spring isn't quite over, and the pollen allergies are getting worse, eventually the pollen allergies will soon cease and the migraine headaches will go away but then summer will come and we will be allergic to something else.
Pollen allergies are not something to sneeze about (LOL) but we can avoid them by trying to be cautious about if we are really allergic to pollen or if it's something else that is spring related such as sometimes a dusty room, or sometimes migraines can be stopped by just eventually talking to your doctor, although he can't do anything for you, but pray for you to get better. They would give you a medicine or prescription for something to take away the migraines, the sneezing the headaches and everything that comes with the dreaded allergies. Till then, stay safe this spring and if you allergies, hope they go away faster than the road runner in a speeding race. Ciao Bloggers and enjoy the better side of spring.

What is with all the celebrity deaths??????
Tragic? Yes. This year isn't even half over and yet we have buried mostly part of the celebrity world. Ed Koch, Roger Ebert, Mindy McCready (Who committed suicide by gunshot), Annette Funicello, Jonathan Winters..
the list is gonna go on and on.
I know I'm nit picking about this but this is just.... remarkable in it's own way. Sadly we are going lose more by the end of the year. But we have to remember how they brought us entertainment, enjoyment and happiness in our lives through music, tv, movies anything they were in, we will remember them for. Sadly we just lost the final surviving juror in the classic "12 angry men" movie that I love so much. Yes Jack Klugman is dead. Although he died on Christmas Eve last year it's still sad. Bonnie Franklin also passed away. Who was she? She was in young and the restless.
Even Margaret Thatcher just died and she became more famous when Meryl Streep portrayed her in a movie. The saddest thing is that she wasn't the only on that had a movie in memory of her. Many famous people depict of their lives in movies, such as Michael Jackson's "this is it" (sadly it was) and also there was presidential movies such as Lincoln or JFK that portrayed their lives and deaths in so much detail and it seemed we remember them more for their death than their life.
But with these recent celebrity deaths, it's just sad to know there are more celebrities that are hurt and maybe some that using drugs to coat the pain away from all the glamor. But even if it was an illness of cancer, or suicide, or just an accident from a car crash, it's their life story we will remember them for the most of the time not their deaths. One of my favorite quotes is after all: Just because they're gone, doesn't mean they are forgotten. They will still be remembered for who they are
Every year, someone (even a celebrity) dies, but then again.... A baby is born.
Till then Ciao Bloggers! and PRAY FOR BOSTON!

Food Logo changing. Good or bad??
First off, I've been noticing some changes in some logos on foods or ads of TV shows such as lifetime changing their TV logo, and SciFi channel just being called SyFy now. I don't understand that.
But recently, I have noticed some names for food products that have changed their logos to change with the times. Mostly fast food chains. Burger King, McDonalds even Taco Bell have changed their logos as well. Even the Pringles man had a few changes in his image as well as his logo. Wendy's has changed their logo as well, to make it very stylish but I never cared much for Wendy's let alone the food. But sometimes it can be the logo or style of it that can capture the customer's eyes. Kids especially love food. Mostly because the color of the box or the character. The character, like Tony the Tiger or Ronald McDonald get a change or two as well by their voice, personality and what not.
I on the other hand think sometimes, overdoing a logo change (weather it be for a TV channel such as Comedy Central or Food Logo) can either be good or bad.
Bad mostly because it might just be too much to handle and maybe changing a logo or a slogan too soon after the old one never had it chance, or wasn't worth the wait. It just seems that the logo changing or the slogan changing would make a different. But in my opinion, I have a feeling it is time to change the McDonalds slogan. "I'm lovin' it." is starting to get a little stale. It was ok in I guess mid 2003. But now, it's past it's time. I mean "Where's the beef" slogan from Wendy's knew when it was time to end it, and speaking of Wendy's their new commercials now suck. With that red head who can't act, I'm sorry she can't act, telling everyone to go to Wendy's because it's better for them??? God oh mighty.
KFC has changed their logo as well as their slogan many times. Finger lickin' Good is still being used, but there are other slogans used and the logo has definitely had a makeover. The coronal is still gracing his face on the KFC logo but it went from Kentucky Fried Chicken to KFC where people will just grab a chicken sandwich and say how much money they saved by buying it.
Other logo changes can be for stores as well as TV logos as well. Sometimes good or bad, change is going to happen one way or another, but the most change happens in the food sales. Weather it be with a bag of Lays potato chips or Taco Bell tacos, it's just change. Weather good or bad, we gotta accept it, but eventually, it'll change again by logo and by slogan and we'll either love it or hate it all over again. Till then, ciao bloggers.
But recently, I have noticed some names for food products that have changed their logos to change with the times. Mostly fast food chains. Burger King, McDonalds even Taco Bell have changed their logos as well. Even the Pringles man had a few changes in his image as well as his logo. Wendy's has changed their logo as well, to make it very stylish but I never cared much for Wendy's let alone the food.

Birthdays
First off why am I blogging about Birthdays??? Because everyone has a birthday and we don't want to admit it half the time. Sometimes, we don't care we have a birthday, and ironically, I am one of them...
I am somewhat curious on other people's birthdays just to know their astrology signs and just to tell them who they share a birthday with, but with my birthday, I try to stay clear away from but when they ask about my birthday, I tell them when, and they are surprised to find out how close it is to the holiday season.
Sometimes I am amazed at one day that has so many birthdays and I don't mean from celebrities.
I blogged before about January 17th having the most birthdays of the month. They even say the date with the most birthdays is October 5th. But it depends on when a child is born. But a child is born every minute of the hour.
Sometimes celebrating birthdays can be a celebration or somewhat not worth celebrating. When you're a kid, you want to have a birthday, you crave birthdays, you're happy about your birthday coming, but when you get older, like me, you rarely care.
You just don't want to even acknowledge your birthday coming at all. Sure the presents and cake are nice but, getting older however, isn't a good thing. But they always say age is nothing but a number. Why am I blogging about birthdays... because birthday's mean somewhat special to me... not a lot but let's just say without birthdays we wouldn't even be born. Till then, Ciao Bloggers

RUGRATS the good the bad and why Ioved this cartoon
First off if you don't know what Rugrats is then you didn't live much in the 90's. Rugrats is a cartoon that was about talking babies on Nickelodeon that started out in 1991 and ended in 2004. Spanded three movies (Two were good, the third one sucked)
It tells a story a story about babies named Tommy, his baby brother Dil, his best friend Chuckie, twins Phil and Lil and the most bossiest child you will ever know in your entire life. ANGELICA PICKLES. My mom always thought I was so much like her. Why? Mostly because I looked like her, and I acted like her too. Being so bossy.
When the show started, Dil wasn't even around, it was just Tommy and his friends and Angelica, soon, they got Susie to tag along and she's pretty cool, she was about Angelica's age and always stood up for the babies. The adults are kind of like children too, mostly Tommy and Angelica's fathers (who ironically are brothers) who act kids. They have a grandpa (voiced by to actors, but we'll get to that part later) who was always watching the kids, but then would always fall asleep in front of the tv as the kids would cause trouble somewhere else. They would have awesome adventures and Angelica would try her best to ruin it by telling the adults, blaming the chaos on the babies and eventually she ends in trouble. So much like my life. LOL.
The good side of it was the early episodes leading up to the first movie where Didi (who is Tommy's mom) revels that she is pregnant will Dil, then that's when it went down hill a little. The episodes were OK, but they weren't as funny as they were, they seemed a little bland. Don't know why I couldn't get into them that much but eventually they weren't too bad. Sadly on an episode called "Mother's day" It has been revealed that Chuckie's mother had died of cancer in a feature season (like maybe season one, I don't know nit picking here) so his dad tells him everything about his mom. Soon, Chas decides he wants to get married and that's where the second movie comes in but to somewhat an evil woman but then, it seems she doesn't love Chuckie's father and... you have to see the movie but soon we are introduced to another Rugrat, Chuckie's sister Kimi.
Then, it went downhill and I couldn't take it anymore. It didn't have the fiiness that the 90's rugrats gave us. It wasn't funny, but what made it worse was the third movie, where they are in the jungle and let's just say having Bruce Willis voice Tommy's dog "Spike" not a smart idea.
The voice acting on the other hand, was good to bad, how well we lost David Doyle, who use to voice Grandpa and was replaced with someone who does have the looney tunes today. NOT FUNNY! Another voice changing was from Chuckie. The original voice actor left for personal reason and we got Nancy Cartwright, the actress who voices Bart Simpson. I like Nancy Cartwright and all, but this isn't the roll for her, half the time, I don't know what Chuckie's saying. What is he saying?
Well the worst of it all came in 2003 when Rugrats did the worst ever, they became teenagers in a new series called "All Grown up" WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING??? Why did these wonderful rugrats into depressed teenagers? They even aged the adults and half the time it looks as if they were getting face lifts, or their faces were melting. The voice actors were the same, I doubt they even wanted to do this, but for money, they'll do anything. Thank god it was short lived and ended in 2008.
But in my opinion the best, was the classic 90's Rugrats before Dil came around, before the voice actors changed before ALL GROWN UP happened, I just stick with the classics. Why? Because that's me. Till then, Ciao bloggers? Have a great April.
