i know this is an odd subject, but i was just thinking today, and it was one of these random thoughts that just kind of all fell together. let me explain.
right now, jack bauer is the hard core invincible beast in the walker household. david and i are now on season 6, and seriously, this guy has 9 lives…. or 900. but that’s beside the point. when you watch 24 you are automatically addicted, and therefore the entire series gets you thinking: “does stuff like this really happen in the real world?” while at first glance i thought it probably did, but everyone is so good at keeping things a secret that we are just oblivious to the entire “end of the world” situations. but i have now come to the conclusion that absolutely no one is able to keep a secret from tmz.com.
think about it. tmz always reports EVERYTHING before even the big news networks do. if ANYBODY dies, tmz knows about it as soon as the time of death is announced (and, in michael jackson’s case, before the time of death was announced). my husband makes fun of me for looking at tmz, but in all honesty, i want the most up-to-date information going on out there, and they are always the first to report.
it wasn’t until today, however, that i had my tmz=jack bauer epiphany. somehow tmz got a recording of the president commenting on the whole taylor swift/kanye west incident. i mean, how does that happen? this is the president, and anything he says “off the record” is super confidential, yet tmz has it. hmm. kinda like jack bauer. he can find anyone or anything he wants to. he’s jack bauer.
other similarities:
the time factor – tmz is the fastest, but not everyone always takes their word for it. same with jack. if everyone listened to him, the show would be called 8 instead of 24.
‘memba them? – tmz does this with stars we haven’t seen in awhile, but they always know where to find them. just like jack. he always comes in contact with someone he hasn’t seen in forever, but they seem to be always looking for jack… usually for revenge.
extreme situations – it goes without saying that jack bauer deals with huge disasters (or almost disasters) all the time, and at least tmz thinks everything is a huge deal. (one huge difference: jack bauer tries to stop these things from happening, tmz just about instigates it…)
ability to make people cry – tmz makes celebrities cry from making fun of them, jack bauer makes chuck norris cry.
i’m just sayin.
he loves to play!
levi even “plays” video games with daddy… we call this is “gamer” face.
and he loves to take baths…
but the jumpy is his favorite past time by far!
he wants to be just like daddy and he “sings” all the time.
levi is my sweet boy.
