Season 4 Trailer

LOST

LOST captured the hearts (and souls) of many sci-fi and mystery fans for 6 long on again off again seasons. Each episode left fans wanting more but only getting less, in a way I guess. By now you’ve all seen or made a Houdini out of avoiding it so I’m not gonna go in depth about the show, but I sit here at my desk and the little crew of voices in my head are singing “You are everybody – You are everybody” and damn I miss LOST. That’s it, simple as that. In my humble opinion it was the best show ever… Now that opinion doesn’t really count for much as LOST is only the second show I have seen from beginning to end, The Sopranos is the only other show I’ve completed (well after Journey closed it out).

Anyhow, while looking for a picture of Charlie.

Desmond: No mah-uh whah I do, your gonna die Chahly”

I loved that line, it’s so creepy and final, but really I just liked Desmond’s accent when he said it. Ha.

So, while looking for picture I found some awesome shirts, why didn’t I find these earlier? Oh well I’d still rock it.

You may return to your regular scheduled program… You are everybody!

I can already tell that this is going to be one of my favorite shows. Good stuff, check it out on ShoTime if/when you get a chance, you will not regret it.

LOST - Two Sides / One Dark One Light

I get pretty bored at work and every now and again I surf the world wide interwebs. Today I was looking at lots of LOST videos and came across this one from the pilot, I find it interesting that the show is circling aroung to the "Two Sides"...

... I wonder what the secret was that Locke asked Walt about... It's been so long since I've seen the first episode I can't even remember. Off to Netflix. If you know and/or remember drop me a comment.

Oh and now I'm starting to think that the show is going to somehow end at the begining and all we've been wathcing was the events that took place while the survivors were trying to "fix" everything. But who really know? I'm LOST.

Originally Titled "'New' Shows"

Within the last year or so I’ve put in a lot of TV time. More than I had at any other time in my life. The Wife however enjoys couch time and the “get-away” that television provides her; I guess it was inevitable that I’d end up right there beside her. For the longest time I’ve been proud to say “I don’t watch TV” and I guess that stems from being a pretty active and outdoors type of kid.

As a kid, while other kids were talking about movies and TV shows they were into I was talking about playing football, basketball and riding my bike. I can remember summers, waking up slamming a bowl of cereal then hopping on my bike to round up the neighborhood kids for pick-up games, only coming in to eat. Of course my squad always won, that’s how we do. I actually remember after we lost a football game the other team accused us of letting them win, that’s respect. We didn’t let them win, they handed it to us, but even after attempts I couldn’t convince them that they beat us.

That was then, now you can catch me walking into the house after a day’s grind, asking The Wife “What comes on tonight?” That’s just something I can’t get used to, remembering what night each program shows. Not even the shows that are “mine” alone. Which are few, most shows I watch with her and because of her -Big Brother, The Amazing Race, Project Runway- just to name a few.

My current addition for my viewing pleasure is Project Runway, what can I say, it’s my guilty pleasure. I’ve always had a fondness of clothing design and the imagination it takes to create something out of nothing. And among many other things, as a kid maybe around middle school age I wanted to become a clothing designer. Like many other aspirations that didn’t pan out; due to the fact that I didn’t pursue it, but yeah. This show brings to life in a small dose what it’s like to be a designer, granted for ratings there’s more focus on drama and less on actual construction. But I still enjoy seeing some of the designers ideas come to fruition from a sketch to fabric colors and choices.

Just the other day I was asked what I’d like to do when I grow up… I hope I never grow up and I didn’t really have an answer for that question, but writing this post I think I have a vague idea. Somehow it would have to combine activities and qualities of life that I enjoy, blending imaginative creativity, the outdoors and the opportunity to be active and working with different kinds of people. That’s what all of my favorite shows have in common with my personality from college & pro football to Project Runway, The Amazing Race to Designed to Sell, Modern Family to House Hunters.

Amazing how what was supposed to be a simple post of new shows I’m digging turned into a therapeutic understanding (idea) of what I’d like to be when I “grow up”. I’m a visual person and like blogs with pictures and/or videos, this post didn’t quite go in the direction that I intended it to so I won’t be using the photos I expected, but here’s a very cool video “Lessons From a Tailor”. Enjoy.
