Okay, I'll try to make a better post here...

Oh, and play this while reading, hehe. qS_3GEdXvPQ

Ever since I was a kid, CN and other shows were kinda just... "there." I never "got into" them or had a proper start, so to speak. I had a terrible sense of time; I didn't even believe the commercials that said a certain show would air "today" or "tomorrow." CN was merely something to pass the time after school. I'd watch whatever was on regardless of me liking it or not. Good thing I liked most of the stuff that was on air. Along with games, it was a distraction from the problems of life, an escape from reality. I lived a pretty boring life, so this was all I had to actually give me a sense of happiness. I especially loved the shows that were mentioned in the previous posts. They'd make me laugh, and I'd forget everything for a moment. That was all that mattered. Hours died as the next show came on, until I got tired and repeated the life-sucking cycle the next day. Shows came and went. I still kept watching. The internet allowed me to connect again with shows lost in time. Up until this point, I never really felt a need to search about a show online. Even when I actually got hooked on a show, CNPH would tear it off the air and my interest would dip again. RIP Pokemon and Naruto. Then came some great shows, the trio of Adventure Time, Regular Show, and The Amazing World of Gumball. Nowadays though, I don't bother watching on the TV itself anymore. All I get is Oggy and the Cockroaches and Tom and Jerry spam. The fact that the "latest episodes" were way behind put the final nail in the coffin. I still watch, but just when I have nothing better to do and I have free time - a very very rare situation. But, at the end of the day, it's still just a TV channel. When the credits roll and the screen turns dark, when the funny moments and lovable characters fade from your mind, replaced by projects, deadlines, debts, and worries -- things that have to be done -- you stare at the dark surroundings, return to harsh reality, and confirm the fact that... you feel emptier than ever before.
