I'm 23. 23. And women at my age, 23, could still be technically called 'girls', are complaining they don't have babies? That they are not married? They actually refer to it as if they are getting old? The first time I heard one say this to me, I just assumed she was a lone crazy baby freak. Then another, and another, and ....another.

You are 23. You have a good 60 years of life left. And you already want to be bored and start the mundane routine of marriage and kids? 2 of the women who have said this to me, I was actually involved with. Needless to say I could never have sex with them again. Beautiful, young, intelligent women, who have a whole life of experiences left to have, want to end it all with a chubby cheeked shit machine(thank you Debra Morgan). I just don't get it. I understand the whole maternal clock thing, but damn. Not in the early twenties. At least Liz Lemon has an excuse.

23. I dont think I could emphasize the number enough. If you can barely afford a used Honda Civic, you can't afford a baby. Not to mention that people are not emotionally stable enough for a baby at that age either. I think our society treats marriage and children like we treat the elderly. A throwaway culture. Except its not just the elderly we don't care about. Its the kids and marriage too. Why don't you live your life, experience what you want and don't want, and actually know who you are and what you want. Because when you hit 30, 35, 40, or whatever age that latent 'Oh I didn't live this back then, I have to know now, its all the husband and kids fault' kicks in, you have a child or husband that gets left in the dust. Get drunk, meet different people, have some fun, have some protected sex, jump in the ocean in the middle of winter, dance your fucking ass off. Because that is all fun and lighthearted. But marriage and children is not something you take lightly. There are enough fucked up people in the world, don't bring in even more because Mommy and Daddy were never actually old enough to be a Mommy or Daddy. Why bring something into this world you couldn't do the courtesy of being serious about.

This bill is a disaster. You know there is something wrong with it when Howard Dean is actually making sense. REEEEEEHAWWWWWWWWWWWGGGGGGHAHGDHG!!!!!!!!

And now it just MUST be passed just so the democrats can save face. It's not about the people anymore. It's about Obama making a 'legacy' for himself. The real irony of this bill is that the Democrats are acting as if they are fearless rebels against the Private Insurers, yet they are in the Insurers back pockets as well. This new version is like a wet dream to Private Insurers. It makes it seem as though the Democrats didn't lose, but in turn makes us lose.

I mean, I didn't want their original version of the bill, but fuck, it was better than this. This is like Obama giving a handjob to Bluecross. And its pathetic how partisan this is. Like a bunch of whiny little brats at a table screaming at each other. Self-righteous, two-faced, sell outs.

I'm actually speechless...

I can't remember being this affected by a TV show since the Walkabout in Lost. Incredible season. Haunting finale.

Friend of mine had a itch to watch Lost's finale, apparently she's been watching the whole season.

Watched it with her. And everyone knows I hate Kate. She was a new viewer and her perception was the exact same. But holy shit. I loved Juliet so much. The only female protagonist on Lost to ever steal peoples hearts. And damn she was a bad ass. But i digress.

It starts like this, So Sawyer and Juliet are playing the married couple on the sub, Juliet is all vulnerable, and so is Sawyer. Then Kate comes in like some bad joke. She convinces them to go back to Nuke Island. Juliet tells the characteristically selfish Sawyer that they have to save everyone. Because Juliet is actually a heroine. Shes not doing it because shes gonna miss Doctor Jack sooo much, like Kate. They go back, and Sawyer does his self-destruct routine and looks at Kate. Besides that being just a tacky moment, you see Juliet become so upset. She changes her mind because she is so heartbroken. She joins team Jack. Jin spots the baddies coming to the drill site. Kate pleads for everyone to help save Jack. Sawyer asks Juliet what to do, she makes the decision to save Jack. They go down and have a shoot out. And shes all bad ass. Boom. She gets hit by the chain thing, gets dragged down. Kate at least tries to help her, but to no avail. Sawyer grabs her, and they have their heartbreaking iconic scene. She sacrifices herself, lets go, because she sees Sawyer will be dragged down with her. She sees the Nuke. And beats on it with whatever strength she has left. And the screen goes white.

So, in summary, Kate is responsible for Juliet and Sawyer even being there to begin with. Which is fitting for her character, who always tries to do something noble, but wrecks everything in the process. And each event that leads to it, she just seems like some undeniable plague to Juliet and Sawyer's existence. She treated Sawyer like a piece of shit for over 4 seasons. Robbed Juliet of two men she genuinely cared for. It's just... fucked up. And if they go back to that shallow triangle again? Wow, that would just be disgusting.

But besides that, I just realized after watching, this next season is it. So I'm gonna watch it. I was invested enough in the beginning, that i have to know the end. Even if it blows.

I miss Locke.

Is it wrong that i wish that John Lithgow could stay on Dexter forever? It's like the Doakes thing. Logically and story-wise, he has to die at some point. But come ON. He is awesome.

Jennifer Carpenter is really owning some scenes this season too. I guess her hubby is giving her lessons.
