If you haven't voted, do
it now. The poll goes down on Thursday.
Anyway, I was watching TV
this week and apparently Toonami (The Cartoon Network action cartoon block)
is on Kids' WB. I was watching it when I realized that it was nothing more
then the normal Kids WB line up plus Dragonball Z. But yeah, it has the
usual sort of Toonami interstitials, with the TOM Robot and the Absolution,
but the music on it is really lame and nowhere near Toonami's standard
phat beats. I know I'm in debt to Toonami because they have given me a
PS2 when I have given them nothing, but it was pretty lame.
And this opens up a whole
new can of worms.
(Ian origin story coming
up)
As a fan of Toonami, I used
to maintain a fan site for it
(If you click that, please disregard any opinions found there, I was very
dumb and my writing skills were lacking) I also used to visit other
sites related to "the revolution" as I called Toonami in those days
(yes, rather lame, eh?) My Toonami site was actually a part of my main
site toonOUT, a cartoon reviews site
that was largely unfocused and poorly maintained and written (I cringe
while looking at those reviews now, especially the ones I wrote.). With
the exception of a few people
who were nice to me, I felt pretty much rejected by the inner clique
of Toonami webmasters which I wanted to impress so much. I quit my webpage,
left what little friends
I had in the Toonami fandom, and started up comics and stuff. I'm a lot
better at comics than I am at writing reviews and crap, anyway(and a lot
more successful too, toonOUT got an average of 2 people a day).
But yeah. That's one half
of my origin. I'll give you the Sonic half of it on Friday.
Also, a little related thing
here- the webmaster at an old Toonami haunt of mine, CNX,
is apperently starting up a comic or something. It looks kind of interesting,
so give it a shot.
