The Anguish of Nostalgia

The feeling is almost unbearable right now. I just randomly went back through every blog I ever created on this account. It really brought back memories, great, forgotten memories. It was interesting watching my horrible spelling habits progress into what they are now. It was enjoyable experiencing the Kim Possible era from my lost perspective. It was amusing watching my odd enthusiasm of a younger age. But it was also saddening, very saddening. My blog posts serve as a mere ghost of the past, a past that has been long abandoned by all but the fewest of us. This website has progressed so far, too far for most of us to keep a grasp on our illustrious past on this once-great website. We had so many antics, ones that seem downright foolish from a detached perspective. While the days of yesteryear will likely be forgotten by the vast majority of my old friends on here, the greatness that we had in those few years will forever be carried with me on my life's journey. Quite a remarkable realization, and all thanks to a sleepless mind on a cold, rainy night.

Merry Christmas to all.

This Place

What the hell have they done around here? The very appearance of this site disgusts me ever since they decided to screw up the template last September. As apparent in my old (and I mean old) blogs, once upon a time I loved this site. To me, it was the best website on the net. Now, just look at this place. It reminds me of every other entertainment website out there (something I generally loathe regardless). I thought that first overhaul was bad, but this whole supposed "transition to a Hubu-like site" is going to be the end of the little community that is still left from yesteryear. Not surprisingly, this will likely be my last blog post ever. In fact, the only reason I still come here is because I have an obligation to do so with my two guides; although I may decide to retire from both of them and officially shut the door on this part of my life. I guess it depends on how badly CBS Interactive (or whatever their name is) screws up the site in the months to come. You know what they say, 'don't fix what ain't broke'.

Goodbye.

First Person Editorship

Yeah, that's right. I just earned my very first person editorship. This first guide would be for Peter Charles Archibald Ewart Jennings (or just simply Peter Jennings). If you don't know who this man was, he was the senior editor and head anchor of ABC's World News Tonight from 1983 until 2005. He died from complications with lung cancer on August 7th, 2005.

And of course here is the new emblem:

When I came across Peter's guide and saw that it didn't have an editor, I immediately jumped for the chance. You see, this man was sort of a childhood hero for me. I would sit down and watch him report the world news at seven every evening. It really is an honor for me to be the editor for this great man. Please feel free to submit to the guide whenever you want.

The Trimonthly Blog

Yeah, I guess it's about time to do a blog again. I mean it's only been three months since my last one...

One year since...

It's been exactly a year since I posted my first blog. It was the afternoon of January 24th, 2007 when I just felt like writing one for the hell of it, even though I knew no one would read it. I'll tell you, the past year has been an amazing one on this site to say the least. And to be honest, I can't believe it's only been a year. It seems like a lifetime ago since I started doing things around here. I gained the Kim Possible editorship position about ten months ago, and I still keep a very close eye on everything around there. For the start of the second active year on here, I'm thinking about going to find another popular show guide to go after since Kim Possible has long since ended. Who knows what the future will bring...

6000 CPs

I set the six thousand CP's milestone for the Kim Possible guide this past week. Yes, the show has been over for four months, but I still find stuff to contribute to the guide. By the looks of it, I'm going to be the editor forever (or at least until I retire). But honestly, that is the farthest thing from my mind. I love that guide.

Snow... in Georgia?

What's been up with the weather around here? Here in northern Georgia we have endured three different winter weather events within the past few weeks. I like this area because of the lack snow in the winter. I mean I'm all for cold weather (I live for it in fact), but I can't stand snow or ice. It's just a nuisance. I don't understand how you people up north can bear it for several months every single winter.

It just isn't the same

What has this site turned to? I know I don't post blogs anymore, but I'm still here a good twenty times every single day. It seems like the previous TV.com that I was a part of last summer is all but gone. Just about everyone that I remember has long since left this place. The community has just fallen to a bunch of younger members that shouldn't even be here (if you look at the ToS).

Just to catch up...

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year...

Yeah, you get the point.

QUESTION TO ANSWER: About how long has it been since you posted your first blog?

Remember Me?

Yeah, sorry about the whole 'no blog in two months' thing. I've been really busy with just everyday life. Regardless of being busy, nothing really worth pointing out on here has happened (thus no blogs). So, to prove to you guys that I didn't fall off a cliff, I'll just post a fun blog.

Well, I came across a few funny quotations today. I'm sure some of you have heard of these before. Anyways, here goes.

Tonight is the Night

The Finale Airs Tonight:

That's right, the grand finale of Kim Possible will air in the matter of hours from the time I posted this. While the finale has already been shown in New Zealand, on Disney on Demand, and on Youtube, I have chosen not to watch it. I want this episode to be the best it can be. I just can't believe the show I have put so much work into is finally ending. It's sorta sad.

My Forum:

Wow, my forum has been exploding over the past week or so since I posted the finale discussion thread. Every time I get on here there are like twenty new posts. I guess there were more fans on here than I thought. I'm just not trying to think about how the forum will be dead in a matter of months.

Ended:

Tonight I am going to have to make a submission that I have dreaded for the longest time. I am going to have to switch the status of my guide from "Returning Series" to "Ended". It certainly has been a long path to this point.

Alright, I'm done ranting. ;)

QUESTION TO ANSWER: Do you plan to watch the finale of Kim Possible at any point?

I actually would be a bit phengophobic. :D

Swamped

Wow, I must have forgotten just how much stress school puts on someone. I have absolutely no time for anything l want to do anymore. All my time has been going to homework, projects, and just about anything else you could think of that is school related. Well, I'm still trying to put aside a few hours to be able to submit some of my quotes to the guide, but I just can't find even a minute to do it. I'm still keeping a very close eye on my forum, clearing my queue as fast as possible, and keeping up with updates in the world of Kim Possible, so there are no worries in that department. Well, that's about all that's going on with me lately.

Hey Guys!

Well look at this, a new blog. It's been almost a month and a half now since the last one. Basically, in the time since the last blog, I have been stocking up on quotes to submit to my guide, working day in and day out, and finally, just this week, restarting school. That's one of the things I really dislike about Georgia: school starts so early. Oh well, one more year to go until I'm done. Another thing: I want to apologize for never commenting on any of your blogs. I try to read as many as I possibly can, but I often don't have the time to comment them. Well, that's about it. I'll try to keep these blogs up every once in a while.

QUESTION TO ANSWER: How are you guys doing?

My Last Blog

Yeah, I am considering it. This quite possibly may be my last blog (at least for a while). Truthfully, I don't have time for blogging anymore. I have work, friends, my forum, and submitting to deal with, and I am beginning to neglect the submitting part. Because of that, my guide is beginning to fall behind. I have so much that I need to do on it that it isn't even funny. A lot of people look upon it for information, and I am not giving them the information that they need. I am truly sorry for that if you are one of those people. Don't worry, I will eventually get another blog up here, but for now, this is it.

QUESTION TO ANSWER: Do you care if I end my blogs?
