Magnum Mania!

If you look at my location it’s the same as my Instagram handle. Poulywerrin is where I’m from. It’s a small area in a place called Connemara on the west coast of Ireland. In Irish it means “hole of iron”. There was an iron mine under it back in the day. ‘Fear” in my Instagram handle is the Irish word for man. So it literally means the man from the hole of iron….kind of self congratulatory. Anyway, Magnum Mania led me to Jack Carr; maybe Jack Carr has led me back to Magnum Mania. I’m going to have a peruse around and see if things have calmed down.

I was watching Magnum when I first thought of leaving Ireland. I was thirteen and my grandad was in Merlin Park Hospital slowly dying. I was sitting next to him looking out the window. It was in the summertime when you have the late evenings. The sky was grey, the buildings were grey, the footpath was grey, the carpark was grey, the ward was grey, the sheets were grey, and my grandad was grey. In the silence I looked up at the tv in the corner and there was the most beautiful red sports car set against this sun-kissed green landscape. I thought, "I want to live there." I remember that moment like it just happened. I had never watched Magnum before that evening, but I became an instant fan. I ended up living on Oahu for four years when I was in the Army. My kids still live there with my ex-wife so I visit twice a year. It truly is paradise. Magnum has been my favorite tv show since that night in the hospital. Over the years though it's the friendship between the the four characters that has kept me watching. It's what makes the show so special. I'll be watching reruns until they box me up and plant me.
