ET anyone?

i'm usually not a big sci-fi fan that gets much enjoyment out of star-trek, dune or the latest 4 hour wannabe epic movie by kevin costner. however...the whole roswell incident thing fascinates me to no end and i enjoy watching shows about that. this last weekend i found myself glued to the sci-fi channel watching Steven Spielberg's mini-series taken. so far i have "invested" 12 hours of my life into the total of 20 hours of the series and i can't wait til tonite for another 2 hours for episode 7.

It is interesting to watch the drama of the characters unfold as they pursue their purpose in life, their search for happiness, their search for truth, and ultimately for life changing answers. While this drama is so fascinating to me because of the alien stuff, if i am honest with myself, i have to admit that i'm searching for the same things they are. not only that, but the journey of their search is interesting to watch and i guess exciting to experience. if all the answers were given in the first hour, then what fun would it be. i guess our journey in life could be viewed the same way.
