This week in… Walker, Texas Ranger

The thing I miss most about college is Walker, Texas Ranger.  Its not the girls, booze, or drugs that I long for, but a special little TV show that had all that stuff and much more cozily packed into 1 hour.   I miss not having to do anything except watch that spectacular program and be in awe of its character development, special effects, stunts, and most importantly the professional acting of one of the greatest performers of our time, Carlos Ray Norris (also known as Chuck).   You see, I’ve looked up to this man all my life; watching his films, learning his martial arts in the guarded confines of my own family room, and intently listening to every word he says with his very odd looking puppet mouth (am I the only one who has noticed this).  What I’ve just figured out though is that all this training that I have done and all the long hours of research has prepared me for the moment I just had a few minutes ago….I discovered the Greatest Thing on Earth …….

Thats right, its called wnd.com or WorldNetDaily (which I guess is a famous site) but I’ve never heard of it (maybe too much Walker).  But this site is so good that right now its main article on their homepage is, “About to be Raped?, Democrat has Ludicrous Suggestion”, (which is kinda weird and messed up because that was going to be the name of this article) and if you look hard enough you can find Cordell.  I have no idea how I have never stumbled upon this before or maybe someone is not telling me this purposely because they know I would never hang out with them again, nevertheless, theres ALOT of material here, it looks like he’s been writing for centuries (which makes sense because I’m pretty sure he was the lead guy in the movie 300 so he knows alot about ancient times).

The most recent of his scriptures is called, “10 Reasons I Wish George Washington is Still Alive”, which is an incredibly accurate depiction of Mr. Washington’s leadership and timeline of his life.  There are so many amazing facts and in depth insight by Norris that this article has been extended as a “Two Part” series in which he will delve into the top 5 reasons next week.   I hate to say this, but to be perfectly honest, it was really difficult and frustrating for me to read Mr. Norris’ article.  Not that it was not interesting or not well written (it was actually one of the most beautifully constructed top 10 articles I have ever laid my eyes on), but that it was tough for me to fully transition myself to appreciate Walker fully as an author, as I have been so used to watching him on the projections of a television screen rather than reading the words off of the projections of a computer screen.  In fact, I  could not hold my attention long enough to read but a few sentences before searching YouTube for this (wait until about 1:50, its worth it) and visualizing George Washington riding in on a horse similar to the Walker, Texas Ranger  “Ghost Flashback” episode.  Its times like these when I begin to realize and try to fathom the depths and multitude of levels that Mr. Carlos Norris possesses and how much harder I have to work and more diligent I have to be in my own life to be so well-rounded.  I realize now that I am at a point in my life where I’ve reached the end of my own Part 1 “10 Reasons I Wish George Washington is Still Alive” and can’t wait to continue to follow my lifelong idol and get ready for Part II.
