HEY, HEY, HEY! PARTY, PARTY, PARTY!
As you can see, I'm pretty excited about today because it's my Friday!

| woooo! |
Three classes, work until whenever, and then I'm home-bound for three full, wonderful days!
I CANT WAIT!
Now, moving on to the real topic of today's post...
ONE TREE HILL.
...formerly known as the greatest television show known to man.
OTH has been on the air for nine years, yes, I said nine. Therefore, how am I supposed to go on with my life, now?!
Ok, I admit, that was a little dramatic. But really, as silly as it may sound, I had become attached to these characters (much like I do when I'm reading a book..sad, I know). I just couldn't help it..they were so easy to relate to! And besides, one of the main characters' names was Haley, how could I not watch? ;)
Oh, and we can't forget that the main character in seasons 1-6 was none other than...
this cutie pie, Chad Michael Murray.
I mean, come on, who doesn't love this guy?
..I know I do.
But, unfortunately, "Lucas" and "Peyton" had contract issues and didn't come back for seasons 7, 8, and 9. Boo!
Nonetheless, I continued to watch the show and loved every second of it. I really think that the addition of "Clay" and "Quinn" were great filler characters and their story ended up being a great one!
And I have really enjoyed watching this little guy grow up over the seasons..he is too. darn. cute.
Before last night's series finale, they featured a 45 minute special where they looked back on all 9 seasons and I even learned some new things! Like the very important fact that it almost got cancelled after the first few episodes because no one was watching!...Wait, what? How could someone not watch?! Obviously, the world came to their senses and I am so thankful.
Granted, when it first premiered back in Sept. 2003, I didn't watch either. But only because I was only 11 years old and still enthralled by Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. Sorry I'm not sorry.
Anyways, I got into the show when I was about 15 and they were showing them regularly on SOAPNet and I was able to catch up and watch from the beginning..and I've loved it ever since!
Peyton and Lucas were by far my favorite couple, probably because I could relate to that massive head of curls that Peyton had...ha! But really, I think it's because they fought so hard for their relationship.
such cuties.
Needless to say, I shed a few tears during the finale last night. It's hard to believe that there will never be a new episode again! Oh well, guess I'll just have to find a new show to fill the oh-so-empty space in my heart now :(
I'll leave you with a list of my favorite quotes & songs that I have to thank One Tree Hill for..they always had the best music.
"Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is
worth living, and your belief will help create the fact."
- Henry James
"There are moments in our
lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads. The choices we make in
those moments can define the rest of our days."
"Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone. And do
not be troubled about the future, for it has yet to come. Live in the
present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering."
-Ida Scott Taylor
"Truth is still absolute. Believe that. Even when that truth is hard and cold, and more painful than you've ever
imagined. And even when truth is more cruel than any lie."
"Blessed are the hearts that can bend. They shall never be broken." But I
wonder.... If there's no breaking, then there's no healing. And if
there's no healing, then there is no learning. And if there's no
learning, then there's no struggle. But the struggle is a part of life,
So must all hearts be broken?"
-Albert Camus
