Jim Corrigan:
"When Passion Becomes Obsession"

When I first began helping 4Adam30 with his T.J. Hooker web site, I knew it was a passion of both of ours. I didn't know it would turn into an obsession. How else can you explain what's happened to me these past few months, my judgement clouded, my head filled with images of police pursuits and training exercises at the academy? The precise moment that passion becomes obsession is when the subject begins invading your subconscious. Think a lot about a subject and you are a fan . . . dream about it, and you are obsessed.

The first dream came just 3 months ago. I ran into William Shatner himself on the street and convinced him to listen to my story. We conversed on the topic of TJ Hooker, the good old days, the dire state of modern television and how it suffered from a genuine lack of Bill. We parted company, but with a promise to meet again. I awoke that morning in a daze, a calm passing over me as if I'd come to terms with
something profound.

Last week, Shatner and I indeed met again. Invading my dreams a second time, Bill and I conversed at length while at a cocktail party. In this dream 4Adam30 stood to the side, nodding his approval at my newest acquaintance. I pitched a reunion special to Bill and he thought it sounded great. He then gave me a group of e-mail addresses where he could be reached; three or four had pornographic suffixes, such as bills@nakedbabes.com. I cannot tell you what this all means. I only know that this time I awoke laughing.

The dreams are clearly speaking to me, enacting an ongoing drama, this I know. Will Bill and the staff at TJ-Hooker.com begin discussing the plot points of the script in the next episode? Will we all share cocktails at Sherry's Bar between shoots? I cannot say. I only know that a passion has become an obsession. I am hoping against hope that the dreams are pointing to my bright future, rather than just teasing me with the tantalizing possibilities of some alternate universe. I eagerly await the next visitation . . .
