Ahh, the good old days...

I'm feeling nostalgic today, so I guess I'll just rant.

Who remembers Nickelodeon before they started showing Spongebob? Hey Arnold, Doug, CatDog, The Amanda Show, Invader Zim, Slime Time Live... Whatever happened to these shows? And then Cartoon Network; who remembers those old shows? Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls, Ed Edd 'n' Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog... This stuff made up my childhood.

And it seems like the older we get, the dumber cartoons get. I was watching a little bit of Cartoon Network the other day with my little brother, and I saw a commercial for Chowder. My first thought was Wow, that's stupid. I think it was my second and third thoughts, too. Yet my little bro couldn't get enough of it, and I just didn't understand why. Maybe that's how our parents felt when they were watching some of this stuff with us.

I miss those days. When we had nothing to worry about, nothing to do, no stress, no complications, just fun for the sake of fun. It seems like we've forgotten those days, those habits. Why can't we just take a step back from the world and relive our youth?

Maybe we should try that. If anyone needs me, I'll be outside, riding my bike down the street and letting go of the world.
