Home

So I went home this weekend and needless to say it was one great weekend.  My brother's graduation party was on Friday, and I was able to see a lot of my family, friends, and family friends.  It was great to catch up and stuff my face with all the great food at the party.  On Saturday, I was able to play 9 holes at Muni and while I didn't hit the ball that well, I did make a birdie and was about a foot away from a hole-in-one.  That was followed by two more graduation parties and some chill time with friends.  Sunday featured some swimming and another graduation party.  Monday I ate breakfast with family and then headed back to Bloomington for a chill Memorial Day inside because of the stupid rain and some ultimate at night.

While it was a great weekend for all the awesome parties, I really enjoyed seeing all the important people in my life.  It really hit on Saturday that I'm not going to be home this summer so I won't see as many of my old friends as in the past.  And I also realized that I might be seeing some adult family friends for the last time in a long while or perhaps ever.  How many more times will I see my old 5th grade teacher?  Or just how many times in my life will I see those friends that I only see once or twice a year.  This weekend really made me want to make the most of the time I have on this Earth but in a smaller time span sense, I want to make the most of every situation.  I want to make the most of college, the most of my internship, the most of whatever job I have after that, the most of my marriage (hopefully), the most of everthing.

24: Day 7

Over the years, the TV Show of 24 has captured me.  It's everything a man wishes he could do. Drive fast, wield a gun, take down terrorists, and look good doing so.  The only thing Jack is missing is a super attractive wife to come home to, and let's be honest the producers made a mistake with Terry Bauer and did the best thing by getting rid of her in Day 1.  Plus, Jack is too much of a man for any woman to be able to handle.

The latest day of 24 just completed and like so many seasons before left us with many more questions than when we began.  This will contain some spoilers so there's my disclaimer.

I'd like to talk about the actual season but like so many others it had too many twists and turns to be rapped up in one blog entry.  Let's just go with the questions I have left following this season and my own predictions for the future.

Questions:

Is Jack going to live? (Okay, the odds of him not living are slim but it's still possible)

What's going to happen to Tony? (Is he going to be remorseful or just fade away as a bad guy?)

Will we see more Chloe in future seasons? (I hope so)

What role is the FBI going to hold in future seasons? (Are they going to keep them involved? Maybe restart CTU?)

Predictions:

Jack is going to live.  Somehow the slim chance miracle treatment will work because it's Jack.

Somehow Tony is going to be remorseful and get away with all his actions because Jack will ask it of the President.

And my final prediction that I could see happening but hope that it won't is that Rene Walker is going to somehow take over as the main character of 24 at which point I will stop watching.
