24 hours a day
So it has been a month or so since my last entry. I've been on break since Feb. and classes start on Monday. Of course, this has nothing to do with anything. Just thought I'd update. I have more important matters to discuss...
24!!
So, recently (the past week and a half), they have been broadcasting the first season of the show "24" on Fuji Terebi. I have to say that man was not made to view this program. Among television shows, it is a god! It is Zeus! Hurling its lightning bolts of suspense, conjuring storms of pleasure, and diguising itself as a bull of plot twists and having sex with a woman of very fine character development producing a Minotaur (sorry, ran out of creativity) of a storyline. Motherfucker, I love this show.
I remember, 2 years ago, when Daniel, Pragel, maybe Paul, maybe someone else, and I were in my room when the first episode of this show came on. We watched it and enjoyed it and said that we would watch the rest of the 23 hours, but then shit happened and things came up (you know how it is)and we never saw the rest. I also never got to see the second season.
Well, let me tell you something, I'm never missing another episode of this show ever again. I mean, I don't know how it does what it does to me. I don't know how a show manages to get me to watch it as if my life depended on it. I curl up in a ball on the bed, eyes glued to the television screen to see what Jack is going to do next. My heart thumps in my chest as Jack's family escapes from one dangerous situation right into another! And how!? Why!? How does this show build such suspense and drama when you already know that in the end Jack and his family will be safe? Of course, they have to be! But somehow, they get you. Somehow you feel that Jack, his family, or Senator Palmer are almost certainly going to die. Die!! You think to yourself, "Oh, fuck! There is no way they are going to survive this shit!" Then BAM! Just like that, Jack saves the day or someone escapes or the bad guy gets captured or some fucked up, whacked-out shit like that.
I mean, think about how this show has progressed so far: Jack's family gets kidnapped, Kim's friend is killed, Jack is bugged and forced to infiltrate CTU, they find the CTU traitor, Senator Palmer is almost killed, Jack's family is almost killed TWICE!, Jack's family escapes, Jack's wife, Terry, finds out that she is pregnant, there are 3 more assasins, Jack's family is not safe at the hospital or the safe house, Jack's wife finds out that Jack had a relationship with his co-worker Nina, the Assasin get dangerously to the senator, Elizabeth kills the assasin, Terry and Jack's daughter, Kim, are split up when escaping peril, Terry gets AMNESIA (FUCKING AMNESIA!!!!), Jack impersonates the dead assasin, Kim is arrested in a drug deal, Terry is almost killed in her home and ALL OF THIS IN ONLY 19 HOURS!!! Good lord, I'm out of breath. What will happen next!?
I have to admit, I'm a addicted. It's like a drug. IF they don't show season 2 immediately after they finish this one, I'm going to go through withdrawal. I'm going to lock myself away like Joshua. No one is ever going to see me again. Damn, I miss American television.
By the way, if anyone (and I mean ANYONE) tells me how this show ends, I will fucking hop on an airplane and fly to where ever the fuck you are and puncture your heart with chopsticks, I swear to god. Alright, thank you very much.
