Do you remember...

"Eh, what's up, doc?"

I love Bugs Bunny. Now and forever. I was never into Mickey Mouse as much as Bugs Bunny and his pals. Always outwitting Elmer Fudd and Daffy. Portraying himself as great in anything and everything he did. He was the top...bunny. I wish they would let him reign again. Bugs taught people of all ages important lessons in life. Never play with dynamite. Someone IS out to get you. Sarcasm is funny only up to a point. Guns are dangerous. Duck season over rabbit season. Aliens DO exist..., and they are out to get you. Even the smallest thing can pack a big punch (figuratively and literally). Bugs is my favorite. I draw my own bunny cartoon from Bugs inspiration.

He loves lasagna but hates Mondays. Another favorite of mine is Garfield. That scruffy, fat, orange and black cat always cracks me up. I've seen TV shows of him lately, but I think he's just more of a comic strip kind of cartoon. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the TV shows. I just think Garfield didn't have as much of a "water-down" personality that the television shows project nowadays. He's crude. He's rude. But, that's Garfield. He just doesn't really care about anything other than himself. Cat food? Blech. He would dump it on your head. This cat eats fine food. Lasagna being his absolute favorite, and it's also one of mine. I've got three Garfields at home (one of which my dog eyes a lot). I am glad to say that Garfield cartoons still do exist in their full splendor. Hopefully, we can keep this way.


The world of cartoons and television shows has changed much. VERY much. I miss the Angry Beavers, Doug, Hey Arnold, Popeye, CatDog, Hamtaro (yes, I watched the show about talking hamsters), Power Rangers (the original show not the ninth or tenth generation they are in now), and so many others that I can't think of right now. They were the best shows out there. At least, that's what I think. Yeah, they had all the "violence" and "other" content that make the parents of modern day drop their mouths open in shock. But, those cartoons had truth. They told kids to tell the truth and showed the consequences of lying! Some parents look at these shows in disgust because of all the double meanings people have put upon them! Think people! To me, it's better to watch the Coyote fall off the cliff a thousand times than to view some music videos put on YouTube. Society is much more...expressively chaotic. We have a wider acceptance of moral values now than a decade ago. It's hard sometimes to find a middle ground between the preschool counting "cartoons" and...well...Family Guy. Bugs Bunny has that middle ground. Just enough humanity to lead to a lesson with the dash of explosion on the side. A perfect dish. A classic. Don't see much of those lately.

Cartoons are like wine. They age just fine.

Quote Me on Mondays!!

I am going to take a page of "quotes" from this book my mom got me, 1001 Things Every College Student Needs to Know (Like Buying Your Books before Exams Start) by Harry H. Harrison Jr., and write my opinion of them. These could be short or really long. It just depends on how it plays out.

Okay, so from page 123 (how weird):

393. You need to know taking notes will help you pay attention--which is, of course, the...uh...point

This is so obvious, but notes are VERY important. You can never have too many notes. Even if the notes you took on the chapter took 15 sheets of paper...Notes can decide the grade you get on that ridiculously difficult exam you took last week...(groveling)...er...The professor may or may not send you notes so take your own anyways.

394. You need to know if you can't read your handwriting now, there's no way you'll decipher them at the end of the semester.

Haha. I could point this out to a couple of my friends, but I think they already know. If you can't read you own handwriting, you epically fail. Just kidding. Seriously, not knowing what your own handwriting says is a major problem. I would suggest typing your notes in class or get a program on your computer that will type the professor's lectures. Recording the lectures works, too, but I wouldn't try it. However, it's up to you.

395. You need to know the Cornell Method for taking notes. Draw a 1.5 inch margin on the left. Take notes on the right side of the paper and add questions pertaining to the notes on the left side.

I don't use this. It's too much of a hassle for me to do in class. I use the list method, which is pretty obvious as to how to do it. You can try this if you want, but I know for sure that this won't work for me. There are other methods besides this one and the list method, too. Just look them up. I'm too lazy and tired to do it right now. Ask me later.
