Dream of Californication

(Photographs found here)

Californication isn't just your average series on Showtime. Even though they are only 4 seasons deep it's incredibly easy going, yet an immensely enjoyable show. A comedy based on a novelist who goes by Hank Moody, played by David Duchovny who is trying to make it by in L.A. but still raise his teenage daughter Becca Moody. Along with patching up his on and off relationship with Karen Van Der Beek who is the mother of their daughter.

To give you a better understanding of Hank's character he might look like your stereotypical "rock-star". He likes his alcohol, good friends and women. That is where most of his problems start from. Not being married to Karan gives him his

freedom to still venture out but still able to get kicked in the ass by Karan for his non-sense actions. Hank is a self-loathing, egotistical bastard, while he slightly spirals out of control he's almost always entertaining to watch. The show has produced some of the most insane, but hilarious moments I have ever enjoyed watching on a television show. On the contrary the show is great with a creative plot, everyday amusement, yet underneath it is a true life story that actually applies to our generation than most shoes that are all high school drama filled.

This video can be found on Showtime online, here. Californication can be viewed on television, online, DVD and even smartphones. Along with Facebook and Twitter like the rest of this world. So jump on the band wagon and watch the first episode on Netflix, already on your Instant Que!

Prologue

Maine Photo

My name is Taylor Grant and I'm from Waterboro, Maine. It's small town about 45 minutes from Portland. A fun media experience I had over vacation was watching the film called "The Town", which takes place in Boston, Massachusetts.



The main characters rob a Cambridge bank and take the bank manager hostage. The FBI gets involved and they go through some epic encounters with them. I wont go into that much detail though. Through out the movie, it showed some great visuals of how they use their surroundings to help them successfully rob the bank. One thing I like about the 21st century media is how easy it is to communicate with one another. The options are endless with technology. From texting to facebook, instead of just emailing. It's also something I don't like. Since it's so easy to contact someone, everyone is either on their phones or on their computers. With all this new technology it seems to create more laziness. You don't see kids going outside playing as much as they use to, or just hanging out without one person on their phone. I'm currently undeclared, so I'm no sure where my profession is going. I just know that I like to be involved and always learning. So all I can really do for now is soak up everything that comes at me.
