Day 24—One Person from History

2/19/2016

0 Comments

 
Today's post is about one person from history I'd like to spend a day with. There are sooooo many people that I'd love to have the opportunity to talk to even if it's only ten minutes, but to spend a day with? That's a tough one. How can I choose just one when there are so many people who have lived amazing lives? People who have survived unimaginable tragedies and who have persevered in the face of those horrors. I couldn't choose just one so I'm cheating today and listing three, not necessarily my top three, but ones that came to mind when I saw this challenge. (I did not include Jesus on this list because I believe I will have the chance to talk to Him.)

1. Corrie Ten Boom—There is no questioning this woman's dedication to society. Her selfless sacrifice for others is inspirational. I would love the chance to have one conversation with her, to ask her what made her give her life for others. I suspect it's because that was just who she was. 

2.  Ronald Reagan—What a life this man led! From an actor to President of the United States. His presidency is consistently referenced even in the current political climate. On top of that, he had a wicked sense of humor, loved this country, and left behind a legacy few will ever be able to emulate. I doubt one day would be enough for me!  

3.  Lucille Ball—Long one of my favorite comedians, Lucille Ball had a never give up spirit. Even an illness that prevented her from working for two years didn't stop her from fulfilling her dream of being an actress.  She didn't stop until she achieved her goal, and I can only imagine the wealth of knowledge she could impart to someone trying to fulfill their own dream!

Day 22—A Television Show I'm Currently Addicted To

Have you seen this show? If you're a fan of DC Comics, and you aren't watching Arrow, you are missing out! Of course I just watch it for the fight scenes and the action. Right. Have you seen Stephen Amell? Or David Ramsey? 

I got addicted to this show when I started binge-watching it over the summer on Netflix. By the time the new season rolled around, I was all caught up. Few TV shows can make me sit in front of the TV when an original episode airs. Arrow is one of those shows for me. 

There is so much to love about this show, but here are my top ten things:
  • The chemistry between Oliver and Felicity
  • The bromance between Oliver and John Diggle
  • The entanglement of lies, deceit, love, and fear.
  • The incredible fight scenes (even though I know they're not real)
  • The shirtless scenes of Stephen Amell
  • The banter/wit between the characters (some lines make me laugh out loud)
  • The brother/sister relationship between Oliver and Thea
  • The pure evil of Malcolm Merlyn played by John Barrowman (fans of Torchwood, take note!)
  • The fast pace of the storyline. (I'm never bored!)
  • And finally, the phenomenal acting chops of all the actors. The casting director did not go wrong choosing this group. There's not one person I would change on the show.      
The first three seasons are on Netflix now! If you do watch, let me know what you think. I'd love to know I've created another fan!  In the meantime, a new episode airs tonight so this post couldn't have been more perfectly timed!
