Connor Is Awesome

It’s been 4 long years, but finally, Connor will be rocking the shores of Sea Isle, NJ.  Anytime you mix the Toxic Avenger with a little bit of that sea shore flavor, you get a pretty wild ride.  So what will be in store for this summer?  Probably a bunch of awesome stuff.  I don’t exactly live a healthy lifestyle as it is, and trust me, Sea Isle is not going to help at all.  Beers for Years!!!!

I’m excited.  Let’s hope I survive.

I want dance parties.  Asian chicks.  Shot NHL.

Confusing as hell, I think. Unless what my idea about the ending is right.  Either way, I think it was so unbelievably good. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it certainly was worth the last 6 seasons.  I really, really enjoyed it.

I can’t believe it’s over.  It was the best.

One of my favorite bands, Punchline, wrote a song heavily influenced by LOST. It’s a very good song. Here it is. Enjoy.

Lost ends tonight.

I don’t know how it’s going to end.  With Lost, that’s nothing new.  But, here’s my thing, I don’t know how I want it to end.  Theres so much that has happened that I don’t know who I want to end up where.  I’m just going to enjoy this last 150 mins, then spend all monday dissecting the shit out of it.  I just want it to wrap up in a way that makes going through an entire re-watching of the series this summer all the more interesting.

I’m sure I’ll have a ton more Lost’s post the next month, but here’s my top 3 Lost scenes/moments of the series (then again, tonight may have 3 better than these 3).  Coincidentally, all 3 scenes come from only 2 episodes.

3.  Jack vs. Ben  -  Through the Looking Glass

2. Desmond Calls Penny – The Constant

1. The Mind Blower – Through the Looking Glass

While I think The Constant is a better episode, and truly the best episode in all of Lost, there is no denying the season 3 finale, was completely a mind blower.  The show had completely changed on us, and the last scene will probably be remembered for being on of the greatest moments in TV history.

So now it comes down to making plans for tomorrow night.  Is it a party type event? Do I go watch with friends or family? Do I watch with only the people who care as much as I do?

More than likely, I’ll be in my room, on my bed, watching on my tv.  I’ll chuckle a bit, shed some tears, and feel empty inside when it’s all over.  God I don’t want it to end.

As an added bonus, or opposite of bonus maybe, 24′s series finale is the next night.  Two of my three favorite dramas of the last 10 years are ending on consecutive nights. Damn.

Lost is rapidly coming to a close.  This video has made it’s rounds today, and I figure I’d post it.  At first, I thought it was gonna suck. 10 seconds in I was convinced, but by the 20 second mark, I realized this was a completely awesome video.

Any other year, the Iphone probably would have taken the crown.  But this isn’t just any year, and today isn’t just 3 days away from any ordinary Sunday.  We are 3 days from May 23, 2010.  The day that LOST airs it’s series finale.  Jack Shepherd was fighting a losing battle here, because as good as he is, LOST is greater than the sum of it’s parts.  Jack is only a part (albeit a large part) of what makes LOST the best show ever.

Forget the Wire.  Forget Seinfeld.  Forget the Sopranos.  It’s Lost.  Never has a show been so engrossing, entertaining, exciting, enigmatic, and a whole bunch of “e” words.  Admittedly, I didn’t get into the show until Season 2 was underway.  But running through DVDs in less than a few days, I was instantly hooked.  I don’t how understand how anyone could not be.  The characters were almost overwhelmingly interesting.  Everyone could latch onto someone and instantly they’d become your favorite.  And it wasn’t even until the 2nd season that 2 of the most astounding characters were introduced.  It’s first season, arguably it’s best, as evident by it’s emmy win, is some of the greatest television I can ever remember seeing.

Without getting to spoilery, for the few non-lost fans out there who will surely get into it through the DVDs this summer, we went from “will they get home, to why are they here, to what the hell just happened, to will they get back, to who was that, to what will happen next” so fast it seems. And every minute rocked.  After losing Shawn Michaels, earlier this year, I can only hope LOST goes out so awesomely.

There will never be another show like LOST.  I have spent hours a night at bars just talking about Lost.  It’s made me think, in a good way, more than any other thing I can think of.  Never have I wanted something to end, and not end, at the same time, so much.  Next year, it will be a devastating blow when I realize Lost isn’t coming back.  What will I have to talk to my family about at parties now?

There are hundreds of things I could say about Lost, but most I’ve said before over the course of the last 5 or so years.  It’s global popularity, it’s emmys, its critical praise, I feel have all been well deserved. But one thing it could never claim was an April Madness Championship.  And now, it finally does have that title as well.  And it has spent the last 6 years earning it.  Through all the laughs, gasps, tears, and smiles, Lost has taken over my life like nothing ever had before.  So as we say goodbye to another April Madness, we also say goodbye to Lost, the greatest television show that ever will be.

What can I say about Chris Klein that hasn’t been said by critics, fans, friends, and family already? Simply put, he is what human evolution has strived for generations to achieve.  He is the end all, be all.  We can downplay his importance in global history, but facts are facts, without Chris, what would be the point of all this? Waking up, eating, moving, breathing. Without Chris Klein they are just pointless actions that don’t bring about any meaningful results.  But with his presence in our lives, it gives us the motivation to really feel like life is a gift.  People don’t even realize how crucial he is to prevent people from just universally turning on one another causing an all out panic, and murder after murder after murder.  So to remind us how important it is for us to remember Chris Klein loves us, he made this video. His audition tape for Mama Mia. Enjoy.  God knows I did.

I make no bones about it, I am not a hockey fan.  But once the playoffs come around, I gain some interest.  There’s no denying playoff puck is exponentially better than any other hockey.  I was mad at first, because the flyers were bumping my true love Phillies to CN8 which I don’t have.  But the last 2 games have been worth it.  Last night, as much as I was ready for the season to end, was pretty fantastic.  So what now?  Will I go to a parade if the flyers can win two more series? Probably not. Wouldn’t feel right to do that to true fans who really do like the Flyers.  But having said all this, even as a moderate at best puck fan, this did give me slight chills:

Don’t get me wrong, I really, really, really hate the morning crew, the only thing they know less about than sports is humor. But I just posted this post on my iphone to show how completely awesome it is.
