Pretty Much Addicted

So, my best friend and his wife bought me the complete first season of One Tree Hill on DVD for my birthday. I have seen maybe a half of an episode of this show on television the whole time its been on. Well, needless to say I popped it in the DVD player and I am addicted. I am sure I am going to blow through the 20-something episodes pretty quickly. I am such a sucker for these kinds of shows (i.e. 90210, The OC, etc.) I usually head to bed by 11pm but I was so hooked that I stayed up past midnight last night watching. I think you can say I am addicted and at a such a busy time in life, I shouldn't have opened the DVD's until Christmas break, haha. Oh well!

With that said, I think that this show has some good values that one could pick up on. Last night I finished watching and went to bed with the overall theme that your family does not determine your destiny. If you come from a screwed up home or with parents who don't necessarily have the best ideas about life, you can grow up and not allow that to be you, if you but forth the effort to change. It gave me a hope that the sins of past generations do not have the be the sins of the future if you honestly attempt to change. So, that's my encouragement for the day.
