The best show ever!!

My all time favorite show is FRIENDS. I have all ten seasons on dvd and have seen every episode. It makes me laugh hard, and I have become addicted to it. When I say to people that my FRIENDS is my favorite show, they usually say that its a cool show or they just plain don't like it.
There is a character on the show that people who did watch the show associate me with. Joey. The funny, yet not so smart actor who loves food and women. Take out the actor and sleeping with women, and yea, I can see where they get it. Joey just happens to be my favorite character, so I think its awesome that I remind people of him.
What is so awesome about him besides the women and comedy, is that he is always there for his friends and willing to do anything for them, even though he might not totally get what the big picture is. I like to think that I am like that in a little way.
But overall, I strive to have a life like the characters in friends. I even try to put a little comedy from some of the episodes into conversations. Not just jokes, but facial expressions, movements, and sometimes undiscribable noises.
So the best show in the entire world has a hug impact on my life even though its been five years since the last show was aired. I know that I am not the only one affected by some kind of media. For some, its music. Others, its movies, internet, or books. But they all play a small part in who we are, especially in todays world. It has changed mankind. For better? I don't know, but that is something I see when I look at myself and FRIENDS. I see it with people I know and love that grew up in this media generation with me. They are all affected in some way, shape, or form from their favorite media. This is just an obervation that I had. But I could be wrong. Im just a Joey. Clueless, but always there to say something on his mind.

  1. Brad! When I first started reading your post, I was all, EW, Friends. I hate TV. Why does Brad like TV? It's gross. Barf. Lame.

    And then you said that different kinds of media affect everyone, and I heard a little voice say, "You're obsessed with livejournal dreadlock communities. You think Friends is pathetic? Pshaw." And I empathized with you, Brad Lovejoy. I empathized.
