Growing up as a kid, my parents always stressed getting out and playing. So a lot of time younger was spent playing outside, playing sports, creating forts in the woods, and so on. We also spent a lot of time on vacations such as going to Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and out west on family vacations almost every year. Because of this and also the fact that my parents did not get cable television until I was in middle school, I did not spend a lot of time watching cartoons on television or reading cartoons in the newspaper and so on.
The one distinct thing I can remember about when I was younger that has to do with cartoons is my mom would always pack our backpacks to take on the plane and would put fun stuff to keep us occupied inside. A lot of times it was twizzlers, cards, drawing pads and pencils, books, and Archie comic books. I loved reading them on the plane. But other than that I really did not have a lot of a connection to cartoons as a kid.
Being older now I still feel as though I do not really have a huge connection to cartoons because I just do not really read them. I spend a lot of time with my puppy playing and focus on school so I guess cartoons just are not a main focus. Even when watching television I watch a lot more reality television and stuff on the discovery and history channels as well as I like to watch crime shows such as CSI, Law & Order, NCIS, and so on. So even when it comes to television cartoons are not a focus either. I have never really thought about the fact that I do not really pay attention to this until now so it is definitely something now in my mind but I don't know whether it is really a bad thing that I don't or not? Humm...
