A TV Character I Think Is Cool

So, I kinda miss writing my whole "blog-a-day-thingy-ma-doodle" thing.  It helped me with thinking of creative ideas and always trying to keep my head thinking of things... keep my mind ticking creatively etc. etc.  It was fun and I've slacked off a bit.  Sooooooo I think I'm going to try and do that again.  It was fun to go to the coffee shop and have something to think about and do a little research on and write about sooooo this is my attempt number 2 to start writing more posts of the blog kind daily orrrrrrr maaaaaybe every other day-ly... we'll see...  It's sort of like, if you don't keep the ball rolling with ideas then the ball rolls slower... until it stops.  Soooooo I'm trying to play more rolly ball... or skiball... or kickball... or something with a ball.

So today my post is... a TV Character I Think Kicks Some Sassafrass... or is cool.

So I thought for a while.  There are a LOT of characters from a lot of shows that rock.  But there's one that I used to totally LOVE from back in the day.  I watched EVERY episode of this show in the whole series.  So  the character I'm-a-gonna-choose is... Daria.

She's one of the most coolest tv peeps in my opinion.

here's a description of her from IMDB:

"A smart & cynical girl goes through teenage life as a proud outsider in a world of mainly idiotic teens and condescending adults."

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118298/

Especially when this aired I TOTALLY related to her on so many levels... except for the whole fact that she is a girl and I am a guy.  But on every other level... TOTALLY related.  At least at the time.  I don't know if I still do so much.... probably because we were both in high-school at the time.

I just enjoy her way that she kind of looks at the world and points things out rather than just walking through it.  Like she's very aware and isn't afraid to speak her mind no matter what others might think.  I love that where she's just like hey say what you want and want what you say and mean what you say and say what you mean kinda thing.  I feel like maybe a lot of people just sorta go through motions of life but don't really stop and look around and say hey... ya know what's up with all of this?  Maybe?  Question things, how can we make things better... how can we be more or do more?

At least that's kinda what I got out of watching that.

I know a lot of people used to say back in the day I don't like that show because she talks all mono tone with the talking thing... but I didn't mind it... it's just sorta how she be... the other thing was how she always seemed to be sad most of the time.  But I don't really think she was sad... so it's ok.  But if she was all happy peppy then she wouldn't be the Daria character she is.  I think that was part of the point, like that maybe no one should be SUPER happy ALL the time... and at the same time they shouldn't be SUPER sad ALL the time...

A good mix of emotions... like chex mix but for emotions.  An emotional bag of Chex Mix.

Anywho so if you've never seen the show i'm sure there are clips on youtube and such.  So you can check her out...

To me she's just kinda like commentary on life... this outside perspective that sometimes just makes fun of how ridiculous life is most of the time.  Cuz I feel like sometimes life is a bit ridiculous.  So you just kinda have to stand back from it and distance yourself for a little bit to get perspective on things.

Sooooo who's your favorite TV character?

I think my second place would probably be Kitt from Knight Rider.  Cuz who doesn't dream of a talking car that can open it's own doors and come pick you up when you are in danger!?

 

I wonder if he ever had him come pick him up when he was drunk at a party?

Party host guy: "Excuse me, Michael... I'm going to have to insist I take your keys... I've seen the way you've been walking and I think you have had a little tooooo much to drink!"

David Hasselhoff's character: "Noo, No... it's ok... I have a talking crime fighting indestructible super intelligent car!  It will be able to drive me home on it's own..."

Party host guy: "Uh... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.  I think I'll be taking those keys now."

David Hasselhoff's character: "That's quite alright... I've got a spare set in the car... I'll just ask my car to unlock itself or climb in the moonroof." (see above picture)

Note: don't stand next to your car drunk asking it to unlock itself... especially if there are lots of people around.

Public Service Announcement: don't drink and drive either!  Stay safe make sure you have a Designated Driver person!
