Hurley (from Lost) says WRITE IT DOWN

Hurley aka Hugo aka Jorge Garcia has a blog. Well, he has two. The first was when he was ON the island: HERE the second blog is him OFF the island. HERE. And even if he wasn't Hurley, his blog is funny and touching and I'd subscribe to it anyway.

Then.

I was diggin in the archives and came across his post called WRITE IT DOWN. When Jorge Garcia was a wee pup in high school he wrote the following things that he wanted: (and I quote from HERE)

-I want to be a part of a good ensemble television show.

-I want to book a job on location.

-I want a house in Hawaii.

DUDE WROTE THAT IN HIGH SCHOOL. AND DUDE. LOOK UP AT THAT PHOTO. THAT CAME TRUE.

WOOOOKOOOOOAOHFFHFHAHH!!!! OH MY GEE!!! WOWSERS!!!

So Hurley advised me to write down what I wanted. Ok, not just me but anyone reading his blog.

SO!!

So, I immediately grabbed my post its and scribbled the following: (actual photo-yes that is my loopy handwriting.)



It says,

"I want to be pregnant (up carot) with twins girls and carry the twin girls to term + birth them".

I didn't want to wish for twins but once I started the sentence it came out cause really, inside, twin girllsss!! so I up caroted them back into the first part of the sentence.

SO YEAH.

There I go. Calling out. Daring the universe.

hee hee hee, here's hoping :)

I figured out Lost by the way and you have something to answer for!

First, Let's give a round of applesauce to Earl's comments on the Pink Floyd Fight Post from yesterday-well done Earl, well done!!

See Kate's Hair, that's my hair right there!
(hey, i'm a poet and don't even know it.)

OK-wrote the main part of this post three weeks ago, so before we begin I have to discuss the last episode:

1. Kate-yes YOU!-When you are discussing a failed relationship with an ex boyfriend and you say, "Well, it wasn't all miserable", and he says, "Enough of it was". BELIEVE HIM.

Next, when you get on a sub with Mr. Sawyer and his bethroved, FUCK OFF. Be decent. Don't make eyes at Sawyer. Him and the blonde are trying to get it on and stuff, find something else to fuck up. And stop copying my hairstyle! At least I have bangs!!

2. The actress that plays the young and very very busty Eloise is a bad actress. I could out act her any day.

3. The smoke monster should have disemboweled Ben. I really really really hate BEN!

Yeah so lost then.

HERE IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT.

As viewed by a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.

Do ya'll remember the show, 'Herman's Head?' way back when Fox started? If not, click here. Ok, keep that concept in the back of your mind.

Ok, do you at least remember the recent episode where Kate and John are talking while little kid ben was bleeding to death? Or the two exact same scenes where where Faraday is playing piano and Eloise comes in, saying, "best be gettin' to that big boat over yonder, it'll bring ya to the eyesland so ya can fill yer perpis!"

Or, does anyone remember when Kate said, "Here we are again, trying to save Ben." And the principles were the same, Jack being a surgeon and therefore the savior, Kate being all foxy and urging him on, Ben dying and so forth.

Now, let's think about this. And let's add some basic psychology here.

When we are kids, we develop ways of operating. If we are lucky enough to have solid parent(s) we develop an understanding of security and how to identify our emotions and how to cope with adversity. If you have suck ass parents, you have to work harder at learning these basic skills of life. Welcome to the world of my job, as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. My job is to help people learn to identify their emotions, develop coping mechanisms, help them heal the damage done. And oh, it can be done!!!

But, back to Lost. Part of the childhood development process involves learning patterns. What ever is strongest in terms of emotional arousal- sticks the hardest. Emotional intensity cements patterns of emotional and behavioral operating. Again, this begins for us as children.

THUS-if one has had a balanced parent(s), one has a good shot at cementing healthy emotional and behavioral patterns. However, if your parent(s) sucked, you learn to live your life like an episode of COPS.

AND THAT IS THE KEY HERE!

What is learned in terms of emotional development, ways of coping, behaving, all of this is a pattern. And it is repeated. GOOD OR BAD it is repeated. JUST LIKE JACK AND KATE SAVING BEN.

Considering that this entire island is spookey as all get out, and the show is very much concerned with psychology, psychics, all other manner of energy phenomenon, perhaps this show is just one big knock off of Herman's head.

Perhaps these characters are just bits of someone's psyche having the same conversation over and over. Repeating a pattern over and over. Just like we all do. Unless we take charge.

And if this was my head, and these were bits of my psyche, I would literally eliminate Jack, Kate, and Miles. I would keep Hurley, Sawyer, and Sayid.

Eliminating Jack, Kate and Miles would be easy. They have little or no ability to identify emotions or deal with them effectively. Jack is an addict, Kate is all closed off and badass, Miles is fucking annoying with his stupidness.

Developing Hurley, Saywer and Sayid would be tricky. They all have an edge of darkness to them. But they have shown growth, their goodness has responded to pruning, light and water.

Which leaves me with Ben. He would be struck down in some bowel involving way. He is no good, shows no signs of growth. He is evil. He needs to go. Unless he is little kid ben, then by virtue of my virtues, he would be saved.

HERE IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO ANSWER FOR!!

Now you, what would you do if the cast of lost lived in your head?

This post is about Lost and/or

If you have NOT watched this week's Lost, git out of here--RIGHT NOW!!!!

The central issues I blogged about, whilst drunk, still stand. Each one of the Losties is on my short list. I find it hard to root for anybody except Desmond, Hugo, Locke and maybe JUST MAYBE Sawyer.

But, this is the problem with a long narrative type show, like Lost. In order to keep things interesting, the writers must move the plot along. This is usually done one of two ways, 1. character development 2. plot development. Lost is a blend of both. Which is great. Except every time a character develops, well, it is a result of some moral failing. They can be a bunch a dickweeds sometimes.

The plot advances are centered around a magical land of yore, AKA the island. Which in all honesty, I have a hard time following. But, I don't really care. I mean, doesn't Hawaii look so beautiful? We went to that island, Maui. Some of the places the characters have been, Mr. Hall and I have been. That trip was awesome, filled with all sorts of hotel sex.

Wait, no, I was talking about the show.

I think last season the show became very bloated with characters. I am glad to see a bunch of them developing nosebleeds. Weeds out the weak ones. I have never from DAY one enjoyed the man who sees the ghosts.





The red head (look up, she is right there) was cute but, must all the women be all science-y and tight and emotionally thin? It seems to be an archetype now a days in most movies/tv shows. When the character is a doctor/scientist/lawyer or what have you, she usually has incredible smarts but the huge emotional baggage that is evidenced by her display of being all badass and stand offish. GRRR!!!

YES KATE I AM LOOKING AT YOU!!!!


Again Kate, noone was there when you got off the plane because you have not made yourself available to anyone. Please fix this before you die an old lonely woman.

Wait, where was I going with this?

Well, I can't remember. Jebus. So, let's end with my personal connection with one of character's on lost.

For about ten years I had a best friend. Let's call her Sarah because that was her name. We bonded my first year in college and stayed together off and on for the next ten years. It was a bad relationship. She was downright mean and would rip me a new one every 6 months or so. She would accuse me of all sorts of selfish and ugly things. Some of them I actually did.

We were both daughters of emotionally unstable moms and didn't quite know how to forge a healthy adult female friendship. We were kind of like tiny carnivorous dinosaurs in that way. I did love her though. Not in the lesbian way. But the, she was my maid of honor at my wedding, but now I have no idea where she lives and this is kind of bittersweet and a relief at the same time kind of way. Chicks are so complicated, jeez!

Anyway, she was a woman of science and art, just like me.

She was in a band once, a band that booked gigs. She's a doctor now.

The band name . . . . . .


Faraday


Named after the same scientist that this character is named for. She was in this band a full 10 years before this show came out



Man he looks like a weasal huh? I do not trust the Faraday.

well, any thoughts on last's night episode can be left in the comments

HB2ME BTW! I am now 33 :)

Drunk blogging about Lost and Cadavers

So cool this poster, no?

I worked out so much my body was kind of screaming in pain. Turns out, if you never lift weights and then you do 'circuit training' and do three sets of fifteen, turns out, your body will bite you back. I was in so much pain. I feel like my arms have been ripped off and the rest of me run over by a truck.

Until I had two rums and cokes. I am merely sore at this point.

So, watching the sci fi channel, enjoying time with Mr. Hall and having inebriated thoughts about cadavers and the show Lost. Both of which are on the sci-fi channel.


First, the cadavers

Thought spurred by alcohol #1:

(Saw a promo of the show "Ghost hunters". Apparently, it's a show where paranormal experts film their activities of hunting ghosts using night vision cameras. The promo was about the evidence they found of ghosts milling about in some house.)

(I say to Mr. Hall)- "Yeah, I don't get it. I mean, why is it so hard to believe that people leave their bodies and the energy is milling about the place. I mean, seriously. I have worked with cadavers, they are dead. There is nothing there. But that doesn't mean their energy is gone.

It would be kind of irritating though, if their energy was hovering over the tank. Getting irritated at all the students poking around in their dead body. WELL! to them I say-- YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SIGNED THE CONSENT FORM. The one that said, 'I want to donate my body to science.' "


Thought spurred by alcohol #2:

(An older episode of Lost comes on)

(Again, I say to Mr. Hall), "I think I need to temper my hatred of the characters on lost. I mean, well, maybe just lighten up a little. I think I just have a problem with their moral fiber."

OK so let's begin,

Jack Shepard: I totally understand what his deal is. Alcoholic, emotionally neglectful Dad. Fine. But, at this point the "DOCTOR" has to realize he has a problem with the booze and benzos. Which is fine. I have hope for even the worst addict. No moral judgments here.

IT'S THE FACT THAT HE STILL PRACTICES MEDICINE. Turn in your fucking license, Shepard. You are no longer in the service of others, you are only serving yourself.

Kate: Ok, so what have we learned Kate? We have learned that when you stepped off the plane, the rescue plane, THERE WAS NOONE FUCKING THERE FOR YOU. It is time to take stock. Time to develop the availability of emotions. Time to reach out. And don't start with Jack, ya'll are no good together. Like to emotional retards. Oh wait.

And I don't care what anyone says. The scenes with her and Aaron are flippant and she doesn't even begin to look like a mom. Maybe I am just jealous of how she looks in pencil skirts. What with the flat tummy. But, as God as my witness, I shall be there again. Oh yes. Oh yes.

Either way, if no one shows up for your homecoming after being lost on an Island forever, then fucking take stock and grow some friends.



Hurley: I have no beef with Hugo. I do have beef with the actor though. He seems reasonable enough. Except he is FOUR HUNDRED PLUS POUNDS. I am tired of this. I want health for him. For now, he is a jokey guy. Covering up pain.

although, that's CHEECH!!! his dad is CHEECH!!! And I loved the scene where Hugo told the truth to his Mom. No one can lie to their mom.



And because I am pooped and sort of passing out, I end with:

Sawyer: hmm. Still have hopes for him.


















Wait, don't forget Linus: Psychopath, pathetic, no longer the chosen one and still smarting. He is more of a weasel really. A psychotic weasel, but a weasel nonetheless.

I guess, in the end, I can still root for Loc and Desmond. Maybe Sayid. As long as keeps his shirt off.

BUT DESMOND IS STILL PURE. But yet, not my favorite character.

Basically, the people from Lost suck for the basic reason. They are not geniune to who they are. They are all lying.
All subterfuge.

but, it is causing me to blog whilst I am under the influence. The show must be doing something right

And I've travelled this far with the Losties, no turning back now.
