Think about it for a couple of seconds. When you watch a television show how many tv days take place in thirty minutes to one hour of your life? Usually several. Probably because the characters are no where near cool enough that as a viewer, you could, or for that sake would want to follow them around in "real time." For example, Rory Gilmore, I love her to death, but when I am not watching... she has to do some kind of studying, I mean for crying out loud, the girl goes to Yale. I go to JMU and I study more than she even references studying.
However. Brace yourself my friend. There is a show that allows you to follow the main character all day long. Which tells you something about this main character... he must be cool. And oh boy, he is.
"24" has to be one of the greatest shows ever. After watching the season five premiere, I have been reminded of Jack Bauer's off-the-charts coolness level. He defies death more than anyone I have ever seen. He can get out of any jam the terrorists throw his way. He is L.A.'s super hero like Batman was in Gotham. With or without his famous Bauer sunglasses, he is unstoppable. Loyal to his friends, and always caring about the well being of our nation, it would be an understatement to say that Jack Bauer is anything less than "The Man."
Now on a slight tangent... think about the concept of the show. We follow Jack Bauer around for 24 hours.... 24 hours! Imagine if someone was following you around for 24 hours. What would they think? I mean, I do not know if any of us can compare to Jack in the coolness factor, however I surely hope that we are not "wacking" as many people (or any people!) in one day (or ever!) as Jack does! Would you be embarrased if someone was watching you for 24 hours? What would they see? Someone who truely loves their friends and family? Someone who helps the lil old lady across the street? Someone who is patient? Someone who sings at the top of their lungs as they are driving down the road? Someone who has a genuine character? You would only have 24 hours to show the viewer who you really are. I am sitting here thinking, man... I think I am a pretty cool person, but who in their right mind would be such a fan of mine that they would want to watch me for 24 hours?!
God is watching... 24/7. Wow. What a thought. He is a pretty big fan of me... and I am a huge fan of Him. And He's got nothin on Jack.

Minty Fresh!
We all have a mental list (or maybe even one that is written out) of what makes you happy. A list of things that bring pure, simple, clean joy to your heart and soul. The catch to this list is that most of these things only make you happy, and others may look at you funny if you ever told them what is on your list. But bet your bottom dollar I am going to let you in on my secret list...
Hm let me think, pure joy... I love seeing little kids laughing uncontrollably. I love popcorn. I love my dog (she brings pure joy - or horror - to anyone that she smiles at!). I love seeing the sunset. I love watching the ocean. I absolutely love stepping out of my apartment here in Harrisonburg and just taking in the mountain view. "I love lamp" (name that movie...). I love to travel. I love watching people travel. I love the idea of just taking off one day and driving and seeing the world (or as far as a tank of gas would get me...) I love adventures, the thought of them simply excites me and make me smile. And I love those little things that I run into during the day that make me happy... for example, (the point of this blog)...
In my stocking this year I got a two pack of toothbrushes. Now, these are not the usual toothbrushes that I normally buy, however Santa does not shop with me, so I forgave him, only later I was thanking him. Today I opened up these brushes and noticed that they are an extreme form, highly developed toothbrushes. Aquafresh has outdone themselves with this brush. Not only are these brushes fun colors (blue and purple... i guess they are not all that fun, but hey...) anyway, these brushes have the bristles going in different angles AND the top of the brush head MOVES!! And when I say "moves" I mean it is flexible so that it can reach, clean, and even sparkle those hard to reach teeth! Now, I usually do not get this excited about a toothbrush, but today... I found myself getting excited about brushing my teeth tonight! And now that I am all brushed up tonight and ready to bed with a minty fresh mouth I can barely stand the anticipation for tomorrows brushing!!
I have to hit the sack now... the quicker I fall asleep, the quicker I can brush my teeth again!
Please note... I am 21 years old and I have never ever had a cavity. Knock on wood. Go brush your teeth!!

You know you are getting older when...
...you stay in on a friday night, only to find yourself playing Scrabble with your parents... and losing.
...the ball drops in NYC, you shout "Happy 2006!" and the first thought that comes to your mind is "Oh crap! I graduate from college in 2006!"
...you read the newspaper in the morning, and not just the comics.
...you go to the nearest starbucks everyother night because you just don't fit in anymore at the skating rink.
...you begin to think about you future... i.e. rent, careers, health insurance... all in all, your budget... and the anxiety attacks lessen.
...you get asked "so what are you going to do in six months after graduation?" every day.
...you enjoy wine.
...you get together with highschool friends and all you can do is talk about who is engaged, pregnant, married, or already divorced.
...you have been a bridesmaid.
...you do not want to date someone just to date them. You have to get serious at this point in your life... or so you think.
...you buy a grill.
...you make your little sister pimp your myspace page and learn that no one really likes your favorite music anymore. (Sorry Hootie)
...you stop using facebook/myspace.
...the age of your friends does not matter anymore. They could be 8 years younger or 8 years older.
...the only guys that say you are "stunning" are fifteen, or they are related to you... or better yet, they are both.
...you have friends living all over the world.
...you believe that the Disney Channel has changed their target market.
..."checking someone out" doesn't mean, looking them over to see how attractive he is, but it refers to looking to see if he is wearing a wedding ring.
**All, some, or none of the above might apply to you, me, or all of us**
