Ponderings of Great to Gross

LOST came to an end this week. I've seen every episode of all 6 seasons, and I'm sad to see it go. For the record, I loved the finale'. Did it answer every question? No. Did it ever need to? Nah. Not every one. It answered enough to satiate my curiosity, yet allow me to think in-depth about each episode - and my life. Thanks for the last 6 years LOST. I love you Jack. You did have what it takes. Locke, thank you for letting go. Kate, forget Sawyer and Jack. Pick Andy. And Desmond, "see you in another life brothah".

I watched Twilight's New Moon yesterday. . . It. Was. Awful. And I knew it going in. I'm glad I didn't attempt to read the books. The acting is below average - if you can't look sallow and drawn or mutter your lines without moving your lips, you can't have a part in the movies. Yes I saw Twilight too. It's getting worse. How can this be edifying to young people (or old people for that matter)? Edward: "I love you Bella but we can't be together so I'm going to kill myself because I don't have a soul anyway." Bella: "Edward, I'm a worthless actress who is better off dead because my soul is totally lame and I refuse to smile. Watch me flutter my eyelashes and look away . . ." Jacob: "Bella, I would never do the things Edward did to you. Unless I'm a werewolf. Oops. Look at my abs!" I'll never go for the I love you therefore I'll kill myself stories. They're too easy, too done, too unhealthy. Will I see the 3rd movie? Yep. Just to finish what I started. I'm not a quitter. (Eric has his take on Twilight on his blog - link at bottom of this page)

For someone like me who hates my fee getting touched or someone touching me with their feet, can you think of a worse idea?! I bristle thinking about it.

Apparently last night Dash was eating tacos when he stated that he had to go poop. Upon the toilet he had some loose stool and claimed, "I think the tacos gave me quesadillas."

(he meant diarrhea)

This is Dash (above) having a flex-off with Jeff Walters at Nicole's graduation party.

I have a theory that I need your help with. I believe that you can tell a lot about a guy by the length of his sideburns. Here's my theory: The longer the the sideburns, the more self-confident (bordering on arrogant) the man is. I realize that I've been sporting side-burns since my junior year in high school (off and on, but mostly on) so I am not exempt in the data collection process. My burns were longer in high school (ear length) than they are now (mid-ear length). I can't tell if I prove or disprove my theory, but I seem to see it in others. You have to be pretty self-confident to rock big burns. Now, this doesn't take into consideration guys who don't wear them or can't grow them, but just look on tv and observe the charaters who have longer sideburns. What do you think? Does it apply to tv? Real-life?
