I think I may have mentioned in the past that I am a fan of the teeny bopper shows, and honestly I am over the shame that is usually attached to a thirty something guy watching high school dramas.
"One Tree Hill"(Tuesday 8 The CW) returned January 8th and after tonights episode, it still has 7 new episodes ready to air. It's been great to have the show back, and during the 2 hour premiere I did cry a little bit, partly because it was just great to have some of my TV friends back, partly because the show is that good (and I think its okay to admit that it made me cry in this post since that Barack video made it so I'm not admitting to crying in back to back posts). If you haven't watched the show before, you've probably already stopped reading, so I am assuming the rest of you watch and are aware of the fact that the show jumped ahead 4 years. It really is the best move the show could have made (See "Dawson's Creek" and "The O.C." for reasons why high school dramas should not go to college), there was no way you could make everybody go to the same college or come up with a reason why everyone would stay in Tree Hill forever. Instead the show skipped 4 years of their lives and came up with valid reasons for everyone to return to Tree Hill after they all have grown up and some have grown apart.
While the show still is over the top and unrealistic at times (seriously Nathan Scott is not good enough for the NBA, let alone to be projected as the 10th pick) it is very entertaining and usually unpredictable (just no more stalkers). I am really looking forward to what they are going to do with the characters now that they are adults and the actors are actually playing closer to their own age.
The one thing I didn't think about was the time element that they can now play with. Tonight's episode consisted of mostly flashbacks to a year after their graduation, with Lucas still submitting his novel to publishers, Peyton a mailroom worker for a record label, Nathan winning a Division 2 college championship, and Brooke considering letting her mom make Clothes over Bros into a serious fashion label. One Tree Hill can go the "Lost" route and slow reveal some serious challenges that the characters have faced over the last 4 years. We can see where they failed, where the succeeded, when they were left to fend for themselves and when the helped each other to get where they are today. If overused it will seem like a gimmicky plot device, but if use effectively, we can learn much more about these characters than we would in a normal season.
The other reason why the time element is fun is that they are in the future. During a flashback scene Lucas was using a iPhone and at first I was shocked that they would let that slip. Why would they sellout and advertise a product that wouldn't even exist during the flashback, but then I realized, they went ahead 4 years. For the past 4 years of the actual show, it has taken place in the current time, and now the show takes place in the future. There is so much they can do, flying cars, jet packs, robots, all their food in pill form, I mean we're talking 2012 here. Think about how much has changed since 2004, okay that's a bad example, but I have a really good feeling about this next generation of scientists and I'm excited to see what they can do. Luckily now we have an inside glimpse into what to expect.

I am on a roll
I know that sometimes what I do and say only affects only 1 person, sometimes a handful of people and I guess I max out at reaching about 50 people.
I am fine with it and if I can influence the people I know just a little bit it makes me happy. Sometimes its just a recommendation of a show, new music or movie, or helpful tips on saving the world, or glimpses into my life that I hope will eventually make everyone think and act just like me (I pretend that this is my ultimate goal, but really I just want to make everyone's life easier by suggesting things that I have found that I enjoy, or have improved my productivity (I am still looking for one of those), have helped me in numerous situations or other shortcuts I have found).
But last night I came to a realization that can effect everyone on the planet earth, or at least offer some solid relief.
Before I get to that, the reason that I am saying I'm "on a roll" is that I declared "American Idol"(Tues & Wed 7 FOX) the best show on TV right now (I will gladly give that title back to "Lost" on Thursday, but its got to be good) and I've already got a pick for the winner that I am confident should at least be top 5. Last weeks second 2 hour episode was in Dallas and may have been my favorite audition show ever. It had a little bit of everything, from fantastic singers to horrible singers in denial with emotions ranging from hope to embarrassment. It included plenty of laughs and feel good moments throughout the episode and there was even a group sing and dance. The best part is that it is so funny it makes you cry, which covers up when you cry because its sad or you are really so happy for the contestant. I have many notes from that night that I will give you soon (just like my UFO story, don't worry it will come back to me) but I think Kady Malloy, 18 from Houston Texas could be the winner, she did a near perfect Britney impression and is hot and can really sing
Now I will get to my realization, which I think really shows why this site is called "revelations". Its because I am the key to unlocking all the secrets and mysteries of the world, oh wait, no, that's just a dream that I've had and a goal I set for myself everyday (I try to keep my daily goal to unlocking just 1 secret or mystery, so that I don't run out anytime soon).
I am sure most of you have heard that the end of days may be coming December 21, 2012, at least according to the Mayan calendar. That day is supposed to predict a cataclysmic change connected to the winter solstice and some crazy astronomical alignments. The Mayan calendar was written in the 6th century BC, starts back in 3114 BC and has been very accurate. Well it stops December 21, 2012 and many people think that it will be our last day, whether its the poles shifting, or some strange cosmic event that throws earth or our solar system off path, or we just end, there are people who really think we're done in less than 5 years.
After extensive research and a good minute (maybe a few seconds) of serious thought, the answer came to me. It was one of those moments when you just knew that you're not responsible for the thought, but willingly accept it as your own and take credit for it.
So here it is, you don't have to worry that the Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012 because the dude who wrote it stopped.
Its as simple as that, he just stopped writing the damn calendar. There are many possible reasons for this, he got sick and tired of writing and was at a good stopping point, he died and there was no one who wanted to take his place, he figured there was no need to keep going that far into the future or he was just pulling a prank thinking about how funny it would be if for no reason the calendar stopped in 2500 years.
But the bottom line is he just stopped. This knowledge has already been shared with and approved by 5 people (I really just wanted to make them laugh, had no idea I was about to save the world) and I think it should spread quickly (I'm sure once word gets out, one of the news channels are going to want to have me on as a guest)
Looks like we dodged a bullet here, we should make it through 2012. So we will have to wait a little longer to see how accurate History Channel's "Life after People" is.
Of course there's always, meteors, asteroids, supervolcanoes, nuclear war, AI (singularity is near) and Zombies to keep you worried (if it helps you for some reason)

Coverup!
The Air Force now says that they did have planes in the air at the time of all those UFO sightings (it makes it even funnier that its on Fox News) in Texas. In this article a member of MUFON says that this helps to support the sightings, and I have to agree.
And just like that I lost it, not a clue what I was going to write.
You see, I got distracted and sent an email to Jim but then when I got back to this post, I had already forgotten most of my daring insights regarding the UFO/government coverup world, but now I'm tired and I must sleep, I will update this, but right now I think its funny enough to post as is.
Goodnight

Finally some TV stuff
I've been catching up on a bit of TV from the last week over the past couple days. And that reminded me to tell you that we are about to have a good amount of new TV in the coming weeks. The question is just how long will it be around.
Coming up tomorrow we have the last new episodes of "My Name Is Earl"(Thursday 7 NBC) and "30 Rock"(Thursday 7:30 NBC) that we will probably see this year, there is a new "ER"(Thursday 9 NBC) which will leave 2 new episodes.
Friday there is the first of the final 5 episodes of "Friday Night Lights"(Friday 8 NBC) .
And then things start to pick up on Sunday. First there is the premiere of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"(Sunday 7 FOX) on a special night, I have seen the pilot and it looks to be a good show and should fill your Sci Fi needs until Battlestar returns. Then we have a new episode of "Family Guy"(Sunday 8 FOX), and I highly recommend giving this offensive but hilarious show a chance (especially with such a limited selection available). There is also a new episode of "Brothers & Sisters"(Sunday 9 ABC) and the Golden Globes (I briefly looked at the TV nominees, was disappointed and quickly lost interest. The Globes are way too early and I couldn't even tell you 2 movie nominees that I know of for sure. I usually get pretty into catching the top movies before the awards, but there is still good football left).
Monday "Prison Break"(Monday 7 FOX) returns with the first of 5 new episodes and is followed by "Terminator"(Monday 8 FOX) at its normal time for the second of the 9 episode run. The new "American Gladiators"(Monday NBC 8) is pretty funny and if you liked the original you will like this. "October Road"(Monday ABC 9) is a great show that still has 9 episodes ready to go.
Tuesday sees the return of the juggernaut that is "American Idol"(Tuesday 7 FOX) with the first of back to back nights of 2 hour audition shows. "One Tree Hill"(Wednesday 8 The CW) continues with the third of 12 episodes completed for the season.
Some thoughts from my viewing tonight:
Tim Riggins on "Friday Night Lights" is the best character on TV right now, and moving him in with the Taylors is absolute genius. Not only do we get a little more Riggins, but he and coach Taylor make for an unstoppable team. Great episode, best in awhile, so many great Riggins lines, a twister, a fight and Coach got to be a bad ass.
Last week on "ER" Gloria Ruben returned for the night and we learned that Uncle Jesse drinks Lo Carb Monster (just like me).
"October Road" is a little mentally draining, but in this case, that's a good thing. The show does a great job of not only making you feel for the characters and sympathize with them but also really appreciate their joy (no matter how short lived it is).
Hope to watch yesterday's 2 hour premiere of "One Tree Hill" tomorrow night, but I'm very excited for it.

Loose ends
Could 2008 be The Year of the Blog?
It sure is starting that way, and since my last post there is a Connor blog and talk of a reality show blog (for those of you who just can't resist the temptation) that could be starting over the summer. If anyone else has a cool blog that they would like to share please let me know.
Step Out to Fight Diabetes! Support Team Jeni as they prepare for their March 18th walk in Hawaii, and help raise money for a great cause.
Even though there is new TV this week, I have still been to distracted and scattered to do enough research to let you know what is new and when you should be watching. To help with my focus I am going to unload several links that I have been sitting on for awhile. I normally have several tabs open on my browser with info that I would like to share with you, but I usually wait for the right inspiration before incorporating them into the blog. Right now I have so many tabs open that I just need to get some these to you, so here you go:
Do you ever dream of not having to plug your cell phone into the wall ever again? I did, and now that dream has been realized. I now charge my phone with Solar power and it works very well. Check out the Solio classic. It has an internal battery that takes about 10 hours of sunlight to fully charge, and can hold that charge for 1 year. When full you can charge your phone twice, and 1 hour of sunlight can give you enough juice to get 25 minutes of talk time from your phone or 1 hour of iPod usage. It also comes with tips for just about every brand of phone as well as PDAs, MP3 players and GPS units. For only $100 you can start doing your part and unplugging at least one more device, forever.
zReturn is a clever and cool way to help you get back anything that you lose (though it still requires a helpful honest person to find it). You buy labels with a ID number to put on your electronics, keys, golf clubs or anything else that you may lose. The label gives a website to go to if you find something with a zReturn label, and because of the ID number the whole process is anonymous. Check out this video (which I think is made to be intentionally cheesy) with a explanation of the system.
I don't know when exactly it is coming, but keep an eye out for UFO Hunters (from the creators of Ghost Hunters) coming soon on Sci Fi.
This site tells you which ski resorts are environmentally conscious and which aren't. They grade how the resorts do in maintaining and conserving the natural habitat as well as the usage of renewable resources. Are you not happy that Steamboat only gets a C? tell them you want them to be more environmentally responsible and ask them to make some changes that can help keep the slopes as beautiful as possible.
I know its not the season for a farmers market, but Local Harvest is a great resource to find healthy foods grown locally (local is key not only for freshness, but also to reduce the effects on the environment that shipping causes).
Death star cafeteria is a funny stand-up comedy routine where Darth Vader is attempting to get some food, and the video uses lego characters to make it even funnier. Be prepared, there is some swearing.

I hoped if I stopped posting for awhile that everyone would get bored and say "WTF, I should start my own blog, and I'll prove to this bastard that you can post regularly throughout the entire year" and it looks like my wish is starting to come true.
Want to know about the Bears and their draft? or Steve's bagel fight workout schedule (you'll have to ask him for the link)?
I wish my lack of motivation was the motivation for Huck's Take (which I don't think I'm going to be smart enough to get, but Junior might be) or Silent Sports Chicago (which brought my attention to the Clif bar 2 mile challenge, and I think the blogger may be the creator of the sauce for the Burger King Angus burger and the Tiger(?) Twinkie). But I am still hoping for a Barack blog (based I'm sure, out of either Cape May or Forest Park), a White Sox blog (that the other town will hopefully claim), an astronomy blog (so we had more notice for the best meteor shower of 2008), a what you can and cannot burn in a fire pit blog (do you think a hand warmer could explode ( I'm kind of scared to try it, I'll have to find a place with no trees to find an answer to that)) and maybe a movie blog (its funny that this is one of my weaknesses now, I used to know when every movie was coming out on DVD for months). I would also love to see a SingStar blog complete with pictures (this one may have to be private with extensive password protection), videos, funny singstar stories and most importantly all time high scores (check out the catalog of games for the UK, whats the hold up for us?). And I also wish that someone would come up with a secret blog and not tell anyone the address for over a year.
But this week I was wishing there was a blog that talked about some TV stuff, like did you know that Leno and Letterman are back? Leno without his writers (and he already got in trouble for writing jokes) and Letterman with his writers (after his production company reached an agreement with the WGA). Luckily this was irrelevant because both shows sucked and only helped to remind me of why I now only watch the Daily Show (which returns Jan 7th without writers).
Did you know "ER"(Thursday 9 NBC) was back last night?
Wait Wednesday was a new "Gossip Girl"(Wednesday 8 The CW) and it was the first of the 2 best episodes yet?
And did I hear that "One Tree Hill" (Tuesday 7 The CW) returns this Tuesday and the show skipped ahead 4 years and picks up after college?
Well someone should be telling us this stuff.
So I guess I am officially going to be starting this blog, and I will do my best to keep you informed and entertained as long as you all promise to keep entertaining me (but seriously would it kill you to comment a little more? what if I promise to comment on your blog?).
Yeah, I guess it's more like I'm restarting the blog, but I feel like people will give me a little more slack if I pretend like I am still "figuring this whole thing out". I plan to be back (even though Jim thinks I should just kill the blog). There is much I feel you must still learn from me, and seriously who else is going to tell you about all the random shit I do?
I was just about to make a list about all the stuff I'll be telling you about in the coming weeks, but last time I tried that I don't think I mentioned a single one again (the pressure was far too great, though that B-Boy group still seems to be going strong (I thought for sure they would have broken up by now and had some crazy internet drama)). So instead here are a couple non TV topics that may interest you.
You may remember when I called it a year ago, but now it appears Warner Brothers has put the second to last nail in the coffin of HD DVD. Warner was the only major studio that was putting out both Blu-Ray and HD DVD movies, but will now only offer Blu-ray. (Thanks Tim for the link)

Update 1/5/8: This could be hilarious, I can't wait for some videos to prove any hypotheses that may be called into question.

I don't imagine that anyone that will be reading this has any sort of problem with having a black president, if you do please delete me from your bookmark and get ready to move out of the country because its going to happen.
Change is coming! Thank God!
Obama '08.
Barack is asking you to believe, I'm asking that if you don't yet, please just listen to the man.
He is who I always imagined I could be (I guess I still could when I grow up), he is someone who not only can but will make a difference. He is realistic but incredibly optimistic, not only in himself and the change he can make, but also in the change that all of us are capable of if we finally stand up and say that the political system is a joke and that Washington must change with us and because of us. He will bring people together to work for a better, stronger, safer, more responsible country. He has the unique ability to compromise with republicans without compromising himself or his beliefs. He is the ONLY chance that we have of turning this country around. His positivity is infectious and it will bring out voters in record numbers, voters that finally will have a leader who stands for them and this country.
Listen to him here, and if you feel it, go ahead and donate.
Then check out his victory speech from the Iowa caucuses.
Its a change I can believe in. I hope you do too.
Change is coming! Thank God!

Barack is asking you to believe, I'm asking that if you don't yet, please just listen to the man.
