I cannot believe that I actually am willing to admit this, but I watched two episodes of “Steven Seagal Lawman“ on E&Y yesterday evening.

While watching my normal guilty pleasure, Hoarders, the Steven Seagal commercials would regularly play. The reaction I first had was an overwhelming sense of bewilderment.  How would a guy that was a movie star, then a b-list movie star, than a direct-to-dvd actor, also be a cop for 20 years?  It all seemed a bit odd, and I and thought this was some stunt by A&E, but no…. it is not.

Apparently Steven Seagal has been a police officer for roughly 20 years in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.

Much like the commercials, the show is filled with the mellow drama that can be seen in a Steven Seagal movie. The odd thing, I was actually – well, partially – entertained.  It was almost like watching cops except with a “celebrity” kicking ass and taking names.

By no means the best TV but I’ll have it on in the background..

TV talk

This evening is the two hour season finale of Storm chasers on Discovery channel.  Have to say, I love it. Make sure you tune in! The weather channel tried to come up with their own, bastardized, version that is very lame in comparison…

A few other shows are coming on that will keep my attention. The season premier of “Hoarders” starts on Monday, 11/30. You can catch that on A&E. Monday also brings the season premier of Pawn Stars on the History Channel.  Nothing beats watching people who collect everything and anything while living in total squaller OR watching people desperate for money trying to sell of their possessions.

Finally, HBO’s “Big Love” season 4 starts on January 10th.

Experimenting with Food

Right now there is a white bean chicken chili sitting in the crock pot just cooking away.  After the W had soup at the other day I thought “I can make something like this…”  Well, I’m not sure my experiment is going to end up as chili, maybe more of a soup than anything.

We’ll see how it turns out.  The results will be over at Yes, We Cook!

Staying true to yourself

The W and I were talking about how one becomes a good person.  It it their willingness to help others? Is it the principles they live their life by? No clue…  However, the discussion lead into happiness, personal happiness and begin fulfilled in life. This all begs the question what truly makes one happy?

In order to be truly happy I would say that one needs to be true to themselves. That means one must understand who they are and what they believe in.  If you are interested in doing a self evaluation here is a good list of items to look at.
