"Lost" rant

Not an angry rant per se, just some thoughts the day after the finale from my desk a little sleep deprived thank you Jimmy Kimmel who I will gladly tear a new one for his abomination.

I liked the "Lost" finale.

There, I said it.

We live in a society where we need everything answered and to make perfect sense, and goddamit, that is not how the world works. Have you ever watched crazy Asian shit on TV, it's not like that makes any sense, it's just a different worldview, fate replaces control of destiny, awe can be at colors not answers.

Anyways, "Lost" had huge balls and I respected it, even if it could be a little frustrating.

"24" also kept it really real in its finale.

this ain't no place for the weary kind

sorry I haven't been blogging much lately, been busy and away from computers a delightful amount role playing the 1850's, attending beer festivals and participating in drunken citywide races/parades.


Let's talk about daytime drinking. It definitely has its pros and cons.

Pros: escaping reality for a better imagined chemical reality earlier in the day. More acceptable usage of sunglasses (actual sunlight). More acceptable time/temperature for taking clothes off.

Cons: hungover feeling while still awake. Inability to kick it past 7pm.

It's a real toss up.

The irrefutable logic of country music

Driving through a rainstorm in between Sacramento and San Francisco I did the only logical thing which was to put on country music. What I love about country music is the same thing I love about really conservative politics. They deal in irrefutable logic. What made me think of this? The lyrics from "Rain is a Good Thing" by Luke Bryan which go:

Rain makes corn/corn makes whiskey/
whiskey makes my girl, a little frisky/

It's just hard to argue against science and logic like that.
