Old vs. New

Recently, Monkey came upon the Hub Channel, which was playing an episode of Strawberry Shortcake.  Shortly thereafter, Care Bears came on.  As a product of the 80's, I found myself a bit annoyed with the new versions of both shows.  Although both shows are very cute, and definitely cater to "today's kids", it gave me a bit of nostalgia.  Missing my cartoons from back in the day.

Here is a bit of cartoon comparison -- 80s vs. Today:

Randomness of the Day

1) I love gummy bears...especially Haribo.  and not just gummy bears -- gummy worms, gummy cola bottles, gummy letters, gummy clown fish, gummy Smurfs (yes I said Smurfs) the list goes on. I do not, however, like Haribo Tutti Fruttis. They taste weird.

2) I am currently reading book 1 of Game of Thrones (I have not seen even one episode of the show).  I have been reading for a month now.  I am at about 11% on my Kindle.  I'll talk to you guys again about this in 5 years when I complete the first 4 books.

3) I think I have attempted half of my New Year's Resolutions.  I think I have lasted through none of them.  How long until 2014 again?

4) I can't get Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop" out of my head.  It hurts.  How do I make it stop?

5) Horizontal stripes are not my friend (along with Time).  But I can't stop wanting clothes with horizontal stripes. I obviously have issues.

Yeh...Time is not my friend

So, as you, my all of 2 followers have probably guessed, I haven't been very good at keeping up with my New Year's Resolution to write more blog posts.  Time is not my friend.  And it gets away from me a lot.  So, here we go again, my attempt at getting in AT LEAST one blog post a month (I'm starting small in hopes that I will actually write more than that...but at least I have a somewhat easy goal).  I'm working on a few things for my next post, so stay tuned (one more chance, pretty, pretty please?!)
