This was a much better year for me. I was a Freshman in HS
I actually had cable during this time and was watching MTV, MTV2, VH1, Comedy Central, and Toonami (Not Miguzi 🙄) & Adult Swim non stop.
I got the first computer I got with my own money that I didn’t have to share with my dad. It was a cheap Compaq from Walmart but it was better than nothing.
And I got a cable modem for the very first time. Sure YouTube didn’t exist for a half year later but there was plenty to look at on ebaumsworld and Newgrounds. I could stream internet radio (still not many video streaming sites yet) which was cool. But I still mostly listened to satellite radio. Not to mention being able to talk on the phone and use the internet at the same time was a game changer.

Not to mention being able to talk on the phone and use the internet at the same time was a game changer. you know what is funny Cable tv kind fell off in 2003 for a bit, but picked the HELL back up in Summer 2004 so you came at the right time tbh. MTV 2 was falling off hard in 2004, I know you watched it then but it was never the same to me when they changed to the dog logo. TRL was in its new era with new hosts, but..... It was kind of needed Carson was stale before he was out the door. It was obv by 2003 and the rare 2004 episodes of TRL he hosted that he did not want to be there anymore . MTV 2 was on the way out but MTV 1 was getting its mojo back, Comedy Central was def at its peak at this time as well as Adult Swim. Toonami was not but........... it had a cool cult vibe when u watched it. Dragon Ball GT was in its Super 17 saga and it was ADULT feeling lol Spike TV was confused at this time they were still airing Ren and Stimpy reboot and Strip A rella, However WWE RAW was pretty entertaining going into the fall. Randy Orton as WWE champion was a laughable entertaining experiment. ABC Family WAS 100% in its prime with Fox Kid.......... I mean JETIX the new block that was branded from their purchase of Saban Entertainment. Jetix was Power Rangers, Digimon etc etc so pretty much Fox Kids with a new name. FX......Rescue me haha softcore porn lol everyone watched that show for the nudity FX really was something in Fall 2004 when that show came out lol Cable TV really got a new lease on life in fall 2004 with the exception of MTV 2 which had its prime in 2001 - early 2003. As for Computer life............. pretty much ebaums world and Yahoo! music for music videos kept our needs for the time lol, oh and AOL aim you can't forget the Drama that happened on there from school !
