Arrrgh, matey!

Around this time every year, I try to really be aware of all the things I am grateful for. Now I'm adding one more thing to the list: Whale Wars.

The premise of the show is simple: An organization called Sea Shepherd want to put a stop to the whaling industry. But these aren't your run-of-the-mill, sign-holding, flower-wearing hippies; these kids aren't playing around. They chase "enemy ships" with a helicopter, board whaling vessels like pirates and even use their boat to ram other whaling boats. I'm completely addicted! Seriously, I know what I'm going to be using all of my vacation time for next year... Antarctica, I'm on my way! (Okay, probably not. But it sure looks like fun.)
