Sons of Anarchy

November 22, 2009 – 10:36 pm

sonsI borrowed season 1 of Sons of Anarchy on DVD from my cousin and all I have to say is “holy shit, I love TV so fucking much.” I watched the first episode around 7 o’clock on Saturday night and finished the season this afternoon, but if I wouldn’t have had Nolan coming over today I probably would have blown through the entire first season that night. To me that’s one of the best feelings in the world when you get really wrapped up in a show and you don’t care what time it is, you just know that you want to watch ONE MORE episode and then when that one episode ends you somehow talk yourself into one more after that. That was me last night, Sons of Anarchy is a really good show and coming from me that means something. Not because my taste in TV is impeccable (it is), but because this show is not really in my wheelhouse. Tatted up bikers and Harleys aren’t exactly what you would call my thing (fags), but there is something about this show that completely hooked me and in just one 24 hour watching period this show entered the pantheon of shows I got addicted to along with LOST, Veronica Mars, Friday Night Lights, Weeds (which ended up disapponting me and then slightly winning me back), The Wire and Baywatch Nights. (Just seeing if you were paying attention with that last one.) It’s that good. Great actors (Katey Sagal, Lloyd from Undeclared, Hellboy, Don Draper’s Jewish girlfriend, dudes from X-Files and Deadwood, the list goes on and on), not a single dull episode in season one and just a really good season-long (and the makings of a series-long) arc. Great, great show.

GOALS

November 22, 2009 – 12:40 am

disneyworld-entertainmentI have been thinking about the notion of having goals lately. I have never been a person who plans that far ahead in life or sets goals with deadlines. In my experience every time I have tried, it hasn’t worked out as I planned it to. This isn’t to say that I don’t have goals, just that they don’t really mean anything. Here’s a few goals that I have.

  1. Own a BMW: BMW’s are awesome, one of the finest cars you can possibly drive. I’d like to drive one.
  2. Buy a house.
  3. Take all my friends to Disney World: I have this memory of my whole family (my parents, my cousins and their parents) and a few of my parent’s friends all going down to Disney World when I was a kid and I just think it would be awesome to recreate that experience with my friends because, well, we are a lot more fun. Also, Disney World is awesome.
  4. Be a guest on the Adam Carolla Podcast: I think I’m a funny guy, but if this ever happened I would have undeniable proof.
  5. Sell a screenplay: This has been a goal of mine since I was 17 years old and it will remain a goal of mine until the day it is accomplished, no matter what.

Looking at that list these are all decent goals, right? Maybe a little farfetched, but definitely some things to strive for. The thing is if I were to accomplish #5, the rest would be pretty damn easy to accomplish because they are all tied into money and success. Without money, I am not going to get to drive a BMW and that’s just the way it is. Does that make these bad goals? Does that make me a failure if I never accomplish any of them? I don’t think so, but if I did accomplish them all it’d be pretty fucking awesome wouldn’t it? In the end that’s why I set them and set them so high because if I don’t accomplish them I can live with that and still be happy, but if I do accomplish them it will be the coolest thing ever and we’ll all go to Disney World.
