I am so ticked right now. I just checked Cartoon Network's schedule for both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and on both days, all they will be playing are Teen Titans Go marathons and a TTG Christmas special. I just- screw CN. Seriously. I am so done with them and how they always shove that stupid show down everyone's throats. They don't even bother to play any other Christmas specials (or anything else, really) anymore. The only time I will ever watch them again is when SU, OK K.O., or Gumball is on. Or that new Craig of the Creek show that's coming soon. Otherwise, goodbye, Cartoon Network.

*heavy breathing* Phew. Sorry for overreacting, but I just really needed to get that out. Happy Holidays, everyone.
Yep, their schedule's been absolutely bombarded with TTG for over two years. I never watched the show honestly, but the overabundance of the show on the schedule is crazy and detrimental to the other good cartoons out there.

Seriously? Cartoon Network hasn't been good since 2004. I honestly don't even remember the last time I watched Cartoon Network.
Eh, it was okay in the mid-2000s. Ed, Edd 'n Eddy was still making new episodes, and I didn't mind the live-action Fridays block too much (although the original CCF is still miles better). I grew out of the network by the time they started integrating more live-action stuff, and I despise that move anyways.

This is ancient history, but once upon a time, several presidents ago, when CN was the Scooby Channel.
More Scoob than you could tolerate.
Then Boomerang came along, temporarily providing a haven for theatrical shorts, obscure Hanna Barbers gems, even rarities like shorts from the National Film Board of Canada.

Again, that was a few ice ages ago. What have you got now?

My cable provider (Comcast) always flat-out refused to carry Boomerang, they said it was because it was a commercial-free channel (ironic, considering they had no problem carrying any of the commercial-free Nick sub channels like Noggin, the N, Nicktoons, and what have you) - the only time I ever got to actually see Boomerang first hand was if I was at someone's house who happened to have a dish service like Dish Network or DirecTV. Then, for a short time in the 2000s, Comcast did offer Boomerang On Demand, which was pretty cool, but they never had shows I particularly wanted to watch like Rocky and Bullwinkle (which I think they dropped at that point) . . . then by the late 2000s, they had the cartoons I grew up with: Dexter, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, which I found strange. Boomerang On Demand hasn't been around since, and I'm guessing that Boomerang doesn't even play any classic cartoons of any kind anymore.

Can I just say the cough medicine i've been taking this week sucks major donkey ***?

It's barely done anything. All it's done is make me feel dizzy and also make my body feel very shaky and twitchy and upset my stomach, causing me to sleep terrible tonight.

Certainly look forward to waking up at 12 or 1 in the afternoon. :rolleyes:

What medicine are you taking? Have you done Delsym? It's pretty effective from my experience and I don't recall any dizziness.

At least you kiddies got to sample cough medicines that came in pleasant flavors. Your pharmacy could prescribe cough medicine in cherry, grape, even bubble gum flavor. Neat!

None of that existed in my young days. All we had was Vicks Formula 44. Nasty as anything. But generations before me had to suffer with cod liver oil. I'd rather be sick.

You know what I hate?

When you're literally trying to dump away all your history with an old friend who turned out to be a real jerk that your mind decides to mess with you and give the good memories.

Normally I'm fine with memories of old friends if they're at least ones that ended on a good note, but I don't like keeping memories of friends who just outright changed to the point it's like they're just a complete stranger. And when it's someone you've known for at least five years, it's frustrating trying to just dump it all out. I guess at the end of the day, you almost just feel kind of betrayed when that so-called "friend" of yours just tries acting like you never mattered to them at all.

And this is why I have had phases where i've felt anti social for a while and have developed trust issues. I'm just glad most of my friends now are mature enough to go and talk stuff out if there's an issue.

Might as well get this off my chest.

So, because of my stupid insomnia, I am now forced to order a pax 3 weed vaper to help get myself to bed because a medical marijuana my dad uses really puts me out.

I thought I ordered one off eBay.... To which I only ordered a stupid ******* case. :rolleyes:

I am so beyond ****** right now that I could easily smoke an entire pack of cigarettes. Those things are expensive as heck, and I'll be lucky if I even manage to get one off eBay for 95 dollars.
