Today I began my day watching One Tree Hill with my friend Victoria. We decided to watch season four, episodes "Some You Give Away", "Songs to Love and Die By", and "Everything in it's Right Place".
A lot of people degrade One Tree Hill because it is shown on networks like the CW and Soap Net, but I consider it an epic story about love, life, tragedy, and just about everything. It has taught me so much about life and film. The music is INCREDIBLE. All it's missing is God, but they even touch on Him a few times and play Christian songs throughout the series.
*spoiler alert*
The three episodes go together. The links down below are clips that fans of One Tree Hill have put together, but I think it displays the episodes well. Basically the group of high school kids go to the state basketball game. Some of them are in the game, and some of them are there to watch or cheer. Nathan, one of the two married seniors (married to Haley) get's into trouble with gamblers when he needs money to help support him and his pregnant wife. Haley has complications with her pregnancy as the stress is too much, and decides to visit the hospital where she discovers the sex of the baby. Nathan, due to threats of the gamblers, decides to throw the game until he hears that he is having a son and decides that, unlike his father, he is going to change how he is behaving to become a better man for his son. Lucas choses not to take his heart medication so that he can win the game since he knows that Nathan is throwing the game. The Ravens (the team with Nathan and Lucas) end up winning the game. The crowd explodes. Couples come together. Including Peyton and Lucas, the couple everyone knows should be together. Everything is perfect. Then after celebrating Nathan and Haley walk home where the gambler after Nathan tries to hit them both with his car. Instead Haley pushes Nathan out of the way and takes full impact. The gambler then swerves and hits a telephone pole. Nathan is stunned. Lucas comes rushing out from the nearby cafe where they were celebrating to help. Nathan tells Lucas to call 911 as Nathan goes after the gambler, and appears to beat him to death (you later find out that the gambler died on impact after he crashed into the telephone pole). However, Dan, Nathan and Lucas's father, finds Nathan and stops him from beating the man. When the cops show up Dan tells Nathan to go to Haley. Dan takes the blame and ends up in jail. Lucas tries to communicate with one of the EMTs, but after all of the stress of the night he collapses from a heart attack.
The second episode Lucas wakes up from lying on the ground to find no one around him. When he gets up he spots a strange man. When he greets the man he discovers that the man is Keith, Lucas's dead uncle. Keith then takes Lucas around showing him what life would be like if he chose to not do the right thing. On this adventure he finds a darker version of his friend and former girlfriend Brooke, a dead Peyton, his now girlfriend, and a depressed and single Nathan, his half-brother and his best friend Haley's husband. Keith also decides to visit a few people on his own. He visits Karen, his former fiancé and Lucas's mother, that is now carrying his baby. He also visits his brother, Dan, who murdered him not too long ago. At the end Lucas is given a choice to die and possibly stay with Keith, or live and continue doing the right things. This is also the episode that you find out what happens to Haley and her baby.
The third episode is the aftermath of when Haley and Lucas wake up. Dan get's freed from jail when they realize that the gambler did not die from a beating, but from the impact of the accident. Haley discovers that Nathan was actually the one who beat the gambler, and that the gambler hit her because Nathan was doing business with him. Peyton becomes scared to be intimate (kissing, even hugging) in any way with Lucas afraid that he will have another heart attack.
*Spoiler Alert*
This is definitely one thing I am not upset about having to say yes to. :)
However, it couldn't say the same for what happened later.
Victoria and I went to dinner. We ate SO much we were stuffed! Then on the way back I ran into a classmate of mine. Running into a classmate is the worst right now. They all know that I have to say yes, so they ask me to do ridiculous things. This classmates request... she asked me to run around alumni park. The request itself wasn't so bad, but I was FULL, and I was wearing flip-flops so I had to run barefoot. I was fine the entire time until I got to the point where is was all up hill. Then I barely made it. (yes, I need to exercise more). But, I made it, and to be honest it wasn't that bad. The looks from people as I passed them was kind of humorous. And I was proud to find that even on a full stomach I can run pretty efficiently. All though I did kind of feel like Loca the pug.
Once again, not too eventful of a day, but eventful enough. Talk to you soon!
