Searching for the real thing.

Out at a ranch last night, about 5 or 6 a.m... I was sitting around the camp fire with one of my good friends... and we started to talk about life...and what real things make us truly happy, even if its just for a second. There are a few things... my guitar.. some friends of mine....and tv bullshit. It's not as pathetic as it sounds, I swear, it truly captivates me. And one day, I hope some kid is sitting on their computer watching previews on you tube for one of my shows, and gets the same happiness out of it that I have for the shows I hold dear to my heart. My dream would be complete if just one person thought of me in the same light I think folks like Marti Noxon, Joss Whedon, Carlton Cuse, and Damon Lindelof, you know, to name a few.

Anyhow... a short while ago I came across this new trailer....and I'm going crazy. I can't wait for the new season... Although I'm starting to have paranoia over the thought that maybe one day Sawyer might die. I don't have much reason to think he would, but...... I'm borderline committable with the line of thought im processing currently...

Anyhow, here's the video...




And, just a quick question.... at 1:01... is that Christian Sheperd? and also, if he's on the
island (well of course he's technically on the island) and alive....Are Claire and Jack gonna 
find out their related? Strange.
AND!!! at 1:09 does Naomi (yea another dead person) have a knife up to Kate's throat.

If all these dead people show up, I can't help but hope that Boone can make a few more 
appearances!!! and that the "i love to play dead" Mikiel (thats def. not how you spell that 
patch wearing assholes name) with bless us with his own funny rendition of Riverdance....
I'm just saying.
That's about all I've got for now...

Although I did particularly enjoy Sawyers comments in the clip, and hope him and 
Kate have at least a few scenes to give me some SKATER hope.
peace!

MY WORLD, CRASHING DOWN ON ME....

First, here's the theatrical trailer for season four of lost...pretty fuckin' cool looking, if you ask me..


SPOILERISH BELOW!!!!!!
So i was looking at spoilers today, for LOST. Like a fool. Came across an interesting/confusing/potentially heartbreaking tidbit...... So there's this term, The Oceanic 6. Which apparently refers to the 6 people that make it off the island ad become quazi-famous.... I shouldn't have looked at the answer....but of course I did ( I have the self control of a fucking kitten). Anyhow, So the six apparently are Kate, Jack (no surprise there), Sayid, Hurley, Sun and Jin..... WTF? what about SAWYER!! this sort of kills the theory that Sawyer is the guy in Kate's future when she says "He'll be waiting for me."
And that hurts my heart... Although the hopeful side of me thinks that Damon and Carlton wouldn't spill such important info....I pray that this isn't the complete truth. Although this could just mean that the other people get off in a different way... again I hope.

Also apparently there are going to be two teams come season four.. Team Locke, and Team Jack...and sawyer is aligned with Locke... and Kate's allegiance will be suprising....I don't get it... We've gotten info that she will go somewhere that sawyer wont agree with, although he doesn't voice it, she knows it.... although putting these two things together...it would be the most obvious for her to join Team Jack, cause she's always leaving Sawyer... but that wouldn't be suprising.... What would be oddly surprising would for her to join Team Locke...
Something tells me these next few years are going to go by ridculously quickly while episodes are airing, and ridiculously slowly during the painfully long hiatus.

That's all for now.

You Know What They Say?....

... Procrastination is like masturbation, in the end you're just fucking yourself....
The holiday season is here, and xmas is just around the corner (or Hanukkah, Kwanza, or whatever) children are anxiously awaiting christmas morning to unwrap their presents and celebrate this blessed (consumer driven) holiday... There's laughter, and people spreading cheer........ But before many of us can enjoy The holiday season, we get Finals! yay!..... a season ridden with amphetimine popping, sleep deprevation, tears, and insanity....just doesn't have the same ring does it? Didn't think so...
So in true college fashion, I've been awake for 36 hours, and am about to continue my studying...but not before I do every other possible thing that could prolong my procrastination... I've reorganized my dvd's, divided all my notes, calculated all my grades (i.e what I need to get on these finals to assure a happy holiday season at home), spent time facebooking, youtubing, widgetting (you mac users out there should understand this new verb)....anything to avoid studying. So now I'm blogging....Not that its my last choice, but I now have something meaningful to say......well whether or not it's meaningful is probably debatable, but I have something to say.......But I just forgot what it was....damnitt.
Oh no I didn't... last night, while procrastinating, I spent a good 3 hours on youtube and google video making sure I did everything in my power to see every single promo for the new season of lost, over and over and over again.... It wasn't a total waste of time, the emotional satisfaction of recieving even the tiniest look into season four is well worth the loss of valuable studying and sleeping (who am I kidding...) hours. 






There's one of the better ones... There are a handful of official promo's out there...and boy am I getting excited.... Of course there's only one thing that has the power to kill my excitement.... and that thing my friends (not that anyone reads this)..... is the AMPTP, yup the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers..... or as I like to call them.  Selfish Asshole Media conglomerates Fucking up my Precious Television routine by refusing to Pay those who deserve credit for their work.... hey look at that I got all the letters in there, and my title seems more fitting... however selfish some of its concerns may be. Anyhow....the strike? yea, that sucks...
But what sucks even more is the possibility of getting left with a cliffhanger after the 8th filmed episode of LOST airs.... I believe Damon Lindelof said it would be just as shocking as season two's episode 'Two for the Road" when Michael shot Ana Lucia and Libby.... I mean I love surprises and cliff hangers but fuck man.........I will have an aneurism if something ridiculously and unrealistically yet amazingly  'Lost-ish' happens.... and you men in the high castle of the AMPTP..... That blood is on your hands. 
Anyhow.... I began re-watching season one today.. and there's just something about Kate in that first scene with Jack that rubs me the wrong way, it seems so out of character how feeble she is.... I believe the line that irked me was "I would have run out of the room" in reference to Jacks "panty dropping" story about fear and the girl whose nerves were going all over the place.... Even later in the episode she starts to show qualities of the Kate we know, even while on the plane...its just that one scene that gets me every time... perhaps I shouldn't be paying this much attention to this, and perhaps paying some attention to my Tv Crit paper... but I just had to write it down somewhere.

Also on an unrelated note.... I bought the old WB series 'Popular' on dvd, both seasons. Granted it was from a personal seller on amazon so "the man's" not getting any money from me... i digress.... wow. That show was god awful! watching it almost a decade later. damn... but the sad fact of the matter is... even though its tacky and cheesy and crappy... it's still oddly addicting.... There might be some of that "Josie and the Pussycat" movie subliminal message shit going on... cause while watching I did get the certain urge to buy stock in warner brothers.... but who knows...

Enough Procrastination for now...
