Thoughts of a DJ: Goodbye to Chester Bennington
Hello once again everyone. It's the DJ with some pretty sad news. It's been announced that the lead singer of Linkin Park, Chester Bennington was found dead on Thursday morning. It was reported that he hung himself due to depression as well as having issues with both drugs & alcohol. It was also announced that the band also had a tour & concert planned fir next moth.
Now when I first heard this I was in shock because I myself am a fan of Linkin Park so to hear that the lead singer committed suicide really hit home for me because in addition to some famous singers I knew someone that not only suffered depression but also committed suicide as well.
Depression is perhaps one of the biggest art of anyone's life even I've had my shares of self doubt as well as bouts with it. But its better to deal with it by talking about your problems first hand with someone you can trust. Also when it comes to suicide don't be scared to get the help you need. You've got to plenty of choices on how to handle life & the best way is to try to survive it. There's no real sense in running away all you can really do is live life as best you can.
But also I send out my deepest condolences & prayers to Linkin Park as well as the rest of the fans of the group & if you know someone who suffers from suicide or depression in general don't be afraid to get to speak to them & get help. There's going to be a suicide prevention link underneath.

Well that's all I have to say on this matter once again I send out my condolences to Linkin Park as well as the rest of the fans & I hope for nothing but the best in these troubled times.

Toonami Review
Hey there one & all its DJ Dizzy here Tis time around I'm going to do a review of something that has been a long time coming, That of Toonami.
Well for those who aren't really familiar it originally got started in 1997 only to then disappear back in 2008 & then make a successful comeback in 2012, ( I knew it wouldn't stay gone long.) But anyway now its on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. So my main thoughts on that would be as cool as that is I think its a great fit for it.
When you really think about it Toonami did start Adult Swim in the first place cause some of their anime shows on their original block were pretty extreme. If I can remember they used to air some shows that of Big O & the Tenchi series to gain a more mature audience from it during the weekdays that or gain some edge.
Also back then in addition to airing on weekdays there was also weeknights & Saturday mornings as well (Midnight Run & The Rising Sun) Now the shows on there specifically for the younger set & I admit I used to get in trouble for trying to watch The Midnight Run but I made up for it with the other stuff.
Toonami now as cool as it is to see again what I really enjoy are the motivational speeches & game reviews which they still do from time to time as well as their rebooted version of the Intruder story they did which was a long time coming but still very radical. So I guess I have to say that it's good to see Toonami back in action & doing just as well as before.
So here's to you Toonami & keep up the good work. However one thing I truly mis are the music videos that they'd show every now & then so if they could do that next to everything else then we'll be set.
So until then this is DJ Dizzy leaving you some of this

Nicktoons Review & Rant
Hello everyone it's DJ Dizzy here &though is been a long time coming I'm doing a rant as well as a review of none other than the Nick toons Network simply known as Nicktoons. Now I have to say at one time the channel used to be pretty decent back when it was just starting out when it was known as Nick toons TV
It was pretty cool cause like the Splat it featured old school Nick cartoons that were all from the 90s & it also featured interviews as well as shorts then when it became Nick toons Network that's when things would soon change
Though it featured shows that broadcasted on Nickelodeon in the past as well as featured interviews but also included some shares of commercials then as the network progressed it became more known for airing anime on the channel it soon started including commercials on their once commercial free channel.
Now my main thoughts & question are only this WTF?????!!!!!!!! At one time the channel was worth watching but now its a total joke. For one they now air live actions shows on their channel. The network is called Nick Toons for a reason. First of all its supposed to showcase CARTOONS hence the name.
Also I think CN tried this once before with their little called CN Real & we all know how that turned out but aside from that I think Nick toons should go back to being about good cartoons like they once were. I mean granted it was okay for a time when they aired anime on their network as well as decent action cartoons but now you can just tell that they're getting to be pretty desperate as far as viewers go,
But I'll say this about Nick toons its no longer the channel we once liked since it switched over to airing commercials among other things sure you'll see some of their old shows but only some of the time but also they once were about keeping up with the classics when they first came out.
But I guess ever since they sold out they really didn't have much choice in the matter. Overall I have to say that though it'd be nice for them to go back to airing shows that were once on their channel its no big loss since we've got the Splat to make up for it but overall Nick toons has lost its edge since then. But there may be a chance that they'll regain it someday.
Well that's all I have to say on the matter but that's just my opinion. But lets hear what you think.
For now I'm on my way. But until then we'll Dizzy it up soon. Keep calm rock on & of course STAY CHILL & FROSTY!!
