I Envy This

Anthony Bourdain.
I envy this man's career(s). Author- always an excuse to learn and use new words, get published, and run away into the woods so that you can focus on your writing. Chef- surrounding yourself in food and being able to create the meals you love. Traveler- well, I shouldn't need to sell anyone on this idea. Mix all three of these professions and you have what I would consider a fantasy life. I don't even care if he is one of the most arrogant people on television, he has something that I want and I'm taking the high road by loving him for it, not hating him because I want what he has. Am I allowed to call this a healthy form of envy?

Love This

I love the fact that Jack Bauer comes up in so many discussions concerning politics. Not only in my different political science classes, but I also just read a bit in the Washington Post where he was mentioned in the topic of our interrogation tactics. I asked myself if it is even possible anymore to have a discussion on the matter without using Jack Bauer as a point of reference.
It gets me thinking that maybe we should just use some privately contracted "Jack Bauers" to compose interrogations since the military and government officials' hands are tied. Issue a bounty for the information, then once Blackwater gets it out of somebody we can just pay for the information. Problem solved. (tongue in cheek)

And as for a side note, CTU was way cooler than the FBI will EVER be.
