POSTED: October 19th, 2010
I don’t want to be anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I’m tired of looking around rooms wondering what I’ve got to do or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t want to be anything other than me
How to be sure things are deteriorating for real this time: You see your life reflected in the theme song to One Tree Hill, the show with no real target demographic.
A quick One Tree Hill history lesson: One Tree Hill began around the time of The O.C. and started off as a show about twenty-somethings trying to convince us that they were in high school and had real problems. If we’ve learned anything from One Tree Hill, it’s that good-looking people always have it the worst. Four years later, they graduated from high school and the fourth season ended. The fifth season began with jumping forward in time four years, which was a good call, as most of the actors were pushing 30 at this point. The show is now on its eighth season, which makes everyone approximately 25, except the writing hasn’t matured and it’s still being written at the equivalent of a sixth-grader’s reading level. When I was in sixth grade, 25 was old. Sixth-graders just don’t want to watch shows about adults. And now that I’m in my twenties, the last thing I want to see are a bunch of 25-year-olds who have mortgages and the exact same problems they had when they lost their virginities. So the mystery remains: Who watches this show?
As if that isn’t bad enough, the song is also sung by Gavin DeGraw (who?), the guy who wants to be John Mayer, who is the guy who wants to be The Beatles. You’re never going to be a Beatle, John. You wrote a song called “Your Body is a Wonderland.” You let Taylor Swift sing on one of your songs. You dated Jessica Simpson. People don’t forget.
Anyway, I have this feeling lately that things are finally going to start looking up around here. This can partially be attributed to the fact that I’ve decided to add a slice of cake into my daily routine, but all I know is that I colored my hair red over the weekend and the next day I decided it just didn’t look like me, so I promptly poured jet black dye right on top of it until I recognized the person in the mirror.
The person I’m sort of starting to like.
My little sister watched One Tree Hill back in the day when The OC was still around, but I don’t think she watches it anymore. Joel McHale from The Soup watches OTH, just so he can make fun of it. It’s a ridiculous soap opera for the prime-time crowd.
I’ve loved OTH since Season 1. No shame!!
One Tree Hill…I can’t believe that show is still on! I met Lee Norris (the kid who plays “Mouth”) at a Kinko’s once. Not exactly something I like to brag about. But WHO watches it still? The writing is a bunch of crap. I saw a clip of an episode when a dog was in a hospital and ate a donor heart while people just watched. Absolute nonsense.
The “liking who we are” is definitely a step for each and every one of us, though. So the red hair was a no?
Before I go into anything, I just want to get this out of the way.
“Red heads are hot!”
Thank you.
I remember when my friend use to be all about One Tree Hill. He’d almost start to tear up when his mom said he couldn’t watch tv on Mondays because he had other engagements he should be at. “He almost teared up!” Like seriously??? He said it was because it was a show about basketball. Umm really?
When you see your life flashing before you in “One Tree Hill Time,” it’s probably because you want to have a fashion business or want to play pro basketball after being a heavily sedated drunk in a wheelchair for 2 years.
It’s a show weird people watch and cry about. It’s a show normal people point and laugh at.
I swear, hair dye changes lives.
You know, not even the delectable eye candy in OTH could make me take it seriously or even watch it. All I kept thinking was “I’m meant to buy this? Seriously?”
Aw shucks *kicks at the dirt* I wanted to see the red hair.
That’s eye candy???
I’m a guy and I could tell you that Vamp Diaries has such a better looking cast than OTH.
One Tree Hill. Haha. That was the show I would have on as background noise and fall asleep to on school nights. It was pretty dull, the 2 episodes that I actually pay attention to on the first season anyway. How is it not canceled by now?
Love your explanation of One Tree Hill. Never appealed to me, but found that humorous.
OMG! How can you say such harsh words about John Mayer? I think he’d rather be Eric Clapton than the Beatles….
Anyway, I’m still bitter about Veronica Mars being canceled and OTH still being on. Are they fastforwarded like 10 years now?
Thank you for using the time and effort to write something which is invokinThank you for using the time and effort to write something so interesting.

Hi! Your article rocks and is really a very good understand!…
Excellent brief and this article helped me alot. Say thank you I looking for your information….
My concern is with Android as a gaming platform. Yes, Angry Birds plays well – but I bought Reckless Racing on both my iPhone 4 and Nexus One specifically to test out performance and I’m sad to report that where the iPhone is fast and fluid the Nexus One is sometimes slow and choppy. I even overclocked the Nexus but I didn’t notice a big difference. This being Sony I’m sure they’ll have their own store with games specific to their hardware so hopefully it’ll be a better experience than on my Nexus One. I would still prefer a proper slide out keyboard with alternate gaming buttons (think BlackBerry number keys over the letters).

Wow!, this was a top quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and never seem to achieve anything
