🔥 A Day Without Diablo Sauce is like Hell Without Satanshine 🔥
WARNING: The Story You Are About to Read is True. The names weren't changed to protect the innocent. 🤷♂️ Sue me. So a while back (technically it was four years ago), I went to Taco Bell, as usual, and ordered my Nacho Fries Supreme, as usual. And, naturally, I wanted my Diablo sauce.

My 6 favorite Muppets
We all know who Jim Henson was, he was the man who would forever change puppetry for the better. He was known for his involvement on Sesame Street, that included colorful and bright characters that he created. He was known for creating Sam and Friends, a puppet show that would inspire many of his beloved characters. He also created The Muppet Show, which featured an ensemble cast of puppet characters that put smiles on our faces. He also created Fraggle Rock too. I may be only 20 years old, but I enjoy watching The Muppet Show. Although he died over 30 years ago, Jim Henson's work and legacy still lives on today. Which is why in this article, I'm discussing my 6 favorite Muppets in ascending order (Disclaimer: when I mean Muppets, I mean The Muppets representing The Muppets Studios, Not Sesame Street characters and Fraggle Rock characters that are also called "Muppets")

My favorite shows from the Renaissance age of Cartoon Network
Watching tv was one of our favorite things to do when we were kids. But watching tv on Saturdays was the best thing ever. We could get up early every Saturday morning to watch our favorite shows. We would watch every kids' channel ever: Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, etc. But the number one channel for watching cartoons is none other than Cartoon Network. While they had successful shows in the 1990s and 2000s such as Ed, Edd, n Eddy, Codename: Kids Next Door, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Johnny Bravo, The Powerpuff Girls, Teen Titans, Dexter's Laboratory, and many others, they had more successful shows during an era known as the Renaissance age, which started in 2010. This was the era of Cartoon Network that I grew up with. And I am here today to talk about it.

5 Anime Moments That Made Me Cry as a Child. Top Story - August 2022.
I've been watching anime for almost as long as I can remember, and I still watch anime today. The shows I watch as an adult usually have more mature themes than what I watched as a kiddo, but there are exceptions. I've found that the Japanese give children, as an audience, more credit than much of the Western world in terms of what themes they can handle in their content. While they have long produced anime and manga aimed at young adults, the "kids' shows" like Sailor Moon, Pokemon, and Dragon Ball don't shy away from the serious stuff when it serves the narrative.
