Trash TV? I think not...

I have come across people many a time who think "teen soaps" on television are "mindless and stupid, only filled with drama to consume waisted minutes that could be spent doing something more valuable." Well pardon my gesture, but I am here to say PUCKER UP AND KISS IT WHOVILLE! :) But really, tonight I was reminded of one of the most inspirational and touching tv shows that is so dear to my heart! Ha! I know you guys are going to think I am ridiculous but really it helps me think a ton about life! Okay okay well I should probably tell you what it is now that I have you all at the edge of your seat right.... ONE TREE HILL!







Really I would go as far as saying it is one of the best shows on television. But thats just me. I will be honest, in its first and second season it did start as a show that leaned more towards the juicy drama that most of us dont have in our own lives so we turn to tv to find. Entertaining? true. But it has always had an underlining theme of hope, belief, faith, and love and throughout the 5 seasons its been on it has pulled together nicely to really MEAN something. My hat is off to you Mark Schwan... :) ! Tonight they replayed the last episode from the 5th season as the 6th season is set to begin next Monday night and I couldnt be more excited! This is one of my favorite quotes from the 5th season:

"The rest of your life is a long time and whether you know it or not it's being shaped right now. You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate or bad luck or bad choices or you can fight back. Things aren't always going to be fair in the real world, that's just the way it is but for the most part you get what you give. Let me ask you all a question. What's worse not getting everything you wished for or getting it but finding out it's not enough? The rest of your life is being shaped right now with the dreams you chase, the choices you make and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time and the rest of your life starts right now."


HOW AMAZING IS THAT?! If that doesnt make you just want to jump off the couch and become a better person and do all that you can to live each moment the best that you possibly can and become the greatest person you can be I really dont know what would! When I have tough times I think about that quote because its all about dealing with the hand your given and making sunshine out of a dull lightbulb... (for lack of a better analogy!) Oh man! I do love that show, but mostly I just love life. I love working at something and seeing the outcome. I love having friends and family who are there when my outcome might be less than what I expected! I love knowing that, for good or bad, I am going to make an impact on this world and I want to do EVERYTHING in my power to know that something will be greater because of me!

oh and one more .... :)
