Ritz Bits sammiches
Here's what I'm thinking right now....
2 more months til Pottermania royally kicks the world's ass
18 more days until PIRATE MASTER!!
I could really go for a slice of cheesecake
Unfortunately, none of these things have to do with articles or blogging. When I'm in the situation where I just have weekends off, I feel pressured to pump out an article on Saturday, but right now I haven't gathered enough input to form a proper article instead of just some ranting abbreviated by pictures I stole from other sites. I'm not going to be one of those people writing, "CARTOONS NOW SUCK BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT THE ONES FROM WHEN I WAS A KID!!" I'm not some old coot shaking my figurative fist at a digital era, I'm just a chick that likes to snuzzle a wuzzle and tell the tale.
That being said, I spent all day yesterday wanting to do something constructive, but while I was waiting for that epiphany, I wasted the entire day watching TV and searching for things on eBay. Now I'm going to cover my ass by giving you a commercial, because I don't have the funds right now to go out and buy something then tell you how awesome it is.

In the mid 90s Ritz Bits danced across our TVs letting us know that they were ready to smother themselves in goodness and be devoured. Ritz Bits are delicious, there's no denying that, but when they're rocketing themselves to a planet of cheese and melding together to form tasty new treats, they're doing it all for you, baby. It makes you feel good to know that snacks want you to eat them. That they live a secret life and their strongest most deepest desire is that you will take them home and chomp them by the handful in front of the tube.

And I Hope you never become one of those "Stuff today sucks compared to when I was a kid." type of person. That's why I enjoy your website and x-entertainment.com compared to Retrojunk, which is full of angry, cynical adults.

I know this is a terrible thing to say, but sometimes when I'm feeling kinda stuck or a little insecure about my writing skills, I go to RetroJunk and read the absolute shit people post there and call articles. For real, sometimes I'll see people basically paraphrase one of Matt's articles and steal all his images then post it in huge font. Except instead of being funny, it's just sad and full of lots of, "______ was cool. Now it sucks, no one appreciates it but me." It's like they never heard of original content. I especially like the ones titled things like "THIS IS MY LIST OF MY TOP 10 FAVORITE CARTOONS EVER"

I do the same thing, only I go there because I find most of the things there so badly written/cynical that I just have to laugh. Also, you would think a site where "anyone can post" would lead to a wide variety of articles. But like you said, most of the time it just Top 10 Lists of whatever subject (and even then, it's remarkable how similar many lists are).

I will admit, I do like the tv intro/trailers/commercial section they have.

I remember this always coming on during Recess. Good times, good times.
