My Father Cut Off The Internet... Again

Well aren't I a lazy person. I seem to be forming a bad habit of getting all my posts in late but this week I have a credible excuse. My father has cut off my Internet for the last few days and I just got it back today. He did this because of the massive amounts of bandwidth I've been using, I've been using up the internet so much because I recently discovered a lost love that I used to have as a child... The Power Rangers.

When I was in Kindergarden I LOVED the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. To me, it was the greatest show in the history of the universe. In fact, the reason Red is my favorite color is because the Red Power Ranger was always my favorite (come on, he had a giant T-Rex robot). In fact for a few years I called Red the color Jason (after the Red Ranger) and for my 3rd birthday my mother made me a Red Power Ranger cake and I refused to let anyone eat it because it was so awesome. Sure eventually it got all moldy and rotted and I had ton throw it away but the cake was still awesome.

After that I sort of forgot about it because they stopped airing the show in New Zealand after a few seasons. So I just assumed that they stopped making them and recently they started broadcasting the latest Power Rangers series in my country again, Power Rangers Samurai. I was incredibly excited because I thought that they had recently revived the show but then I found out there had been at least 16 series made since the original but for some reason the show was banned in New Zealand... which honestly doesn't make any sense since most of the series were actually filmed in New Zealand. So they have made a Power Rangers series nearly every year since the day I was born and I only found this out recently.

It's been interesting revisiting this show that I used to love. To be perfectly honest the show's special effects are a lot worse than I remember and it's a hell of a lot cheesier than I remember but it still has this charm that makes me love the show. I guess I used to love it because it had a lot of action with giant robot fights and martial arts that no other show was doing at the time, especially live action shows (that and it's theme song was epic). While it does have it's flaws and I still love the show to bits and it's awesome to watch in all it's cheesy glory.

Which leeds me to a question that I wish to pose to you guys. Is there anything from when you were really young that you really loved that you've recently gotten back into?

Anyway have an awesome week guys
DFTBA
