I Watched every episode of LOST. Got caught up in all the mysteries of earlier seasons. Did a ridiculous amount of internet searching for lil clues, participated in forums, fell for the marketing ploys and ABC.com tomfoolery over the last few years.  I didn’t thuroughly leave the series satisfied – like many of you.

These last 2 seasons only ended up answering questions with more questions.  While I agree with everyone that the show was a character piece with well arced characters that all find peace in the end, there was this amazing aspect of the show in earlier seasons that really got lost (haha, see what I did there?) in the latter seasons.  The physical universe these characters were struggling to survive in played just as big a role – if not a bigger – in my attraction to the show. Dharma, the Island, plane crashes, boat crashes, ghosts, monsters, bears, hatches, bunkers, stations, electromagnetism, time travel, and so on.

I didn’t like that the finale focused on the ethereal answers, and not the direct ones.  An example: “The Island is like a cork stopping The Bad from escaping”.  While answering the question, IT DOESN’T FUCKING ANSWER THE QUESTION.  Does the island move through time or space? How? How’d the bomb influence it? What is “The Bad” and how would it seap into our reality? Is our reality REAL? GAH!

There are so many unanswered questions about events that occurred on the show, that I think this video sums up my feelings nicely.  My problem is that you can’t throw a plot device into a show only to get people to ask questions then never answer them.  That’s just irresponsible writing.  If you want to try and enlighten me, feel free to do so. My comment section is open to every and all!

30,000ft Smirk

So here I am. 30,000 feet above the surface of the earth. Partaking in the efficient GoGo in-flight wi-fi on an extremely comfortable trip aboard one of Virgin America’s direct flights to Boston (aside from Mr. Affliction who smells like ashtray and looks like a pile of bum-dump sitting next to me).  I always fly Virgin America.  ALWAYS.  The only obvious reason I wouldn’t was if they didn’t serve the airport I needed to fly into, but so far, Seattle and New York are my regular destinations. They do everything I want an airline to do (with a few exceptions explained below) but with one major difference… (continue reading…)

Boston, I’m going to be inside of you in 24 hours.  “Why?”, you might ask. Well, I will be performing with the legendary improvisor, Joe Bill, in our two-man improv show, “Obsequious Reflex” for the first annual Boston Improv Festival at Improv Boston.  I cannot tell you how excited I am, or can I… (continue reading…)

The Ben Spies Method

This is a short film I made recently with my good friend and fantastic director, Rob Meltzer.  It features the amazingly talented, Ben Spies.  He’s one of the world’s best superbike champions and an all around nice, down-home, country boy.

But that’s not why this video gives me wet dreams… (continue reading…)

Facebook 3.0 for iPhone

Ok, let’s be honest: I love me some Facebook. Hard. Who fuckin doesn’t? It’s an instant way for me to create and stay in touch with all of my circles of friends. In my immediate circle I have family. (At this point, my sisters, my niece, most of my extended family, and my frakkin’ MOM has an account.) In the circles beyond that, I have my close friends, other “friends”, “acquaintances”, “fans”, “strangers and spam”. Facebook provides me methods of communicating with any number of these circles at any time. And in the most personal or impersonal ways possible.

If you do NOT have an account, you have decided to take a social stance against being awesome. Seriously, the arguments as to why you DON’T have a Facebook account are weak at best.  (continue reading…)
