Today I was watching the latest Shane Dawson video (yes I love Shanaynay) and he was talking about cartoons from the 90s briefly. Whenever someone mentions old TV shows that I used to watch when I was four, I'm totally engrossed. I love cartoons from the 90s because they remind me of my childhood of sitting on the living room carpet with a bunch of crayons and paper, watching episodes of Rugrats and Doug that I've seen a million times before.
I love it.
So, I thought I would talk about my obsession with cartoons from the 90s. Cause I'm a 90s baby.
First of all, I would like to make a complaint to Craig Bartlett, the creator of Hey Arnold!: why did we never find out what Arnold's last name is!? I know that there is some speculation that it is Shortman but still! I need to know things for sure Bartlett! And I forget if we ever heard the story of how Arnold's parents disappeared. I don't think you put that in either Bartlett! God! (If I'm wrong, someone please correct me and put the name of the episode any of this shit is explained but I don't think it is).
I remember Hey Arnold!, Rugrats, Doug, Catdog and all those other Nickelodeon cartoons. Nickelodeon was my addiction when I was younger. Although, sometimes I did stray to Disney Channel's cartoons until they screwed them all up (except for Phineas and Ferb, that show's the bomb despite it not being from the 90s).
However, I must say that my first crush will also remain in my heart (and I don't mean Chistopher from Tiny Tots) but it was... the dark haired planeteer whose name I didn't know until two seconds ago when I looked it up on Google, Ma-Ti from the TBS show Captain Planet and the Planeteers. I know it started four years before I was born but that's beside the point. The point is that in those reruns they would show my four-year-old self, I fell in love.
And that love of dark-haired and dark-skinned boys continues to this day. My current boyfriend is half Mexican. Yeah... so that set my standard for good looks, Ma-Ti.
I never was into Pokemon or Yuguio or whatever the hell you call it but oh man... I also remember this old cartoon of a bunch of cats wearing clothes and saving the world... I forget what it was called.
So I hope this didn't bore you too much. Now I'm off to bed now that I took the time I was supposed to spend on doing physics homework to write this. I miss those days with crayons instead of ballpoint pen and number 2 pencils and the days without PSAT, you only had to worry about PwSoAT (Peeing while Sitting on A Teacher).
