This is the End, My Friend...The End

So I stayed up until midnight watching the 2 1/2 hour finale of Lost and while I have so many thoughts, feeling and emotions about it, all I really want to say is what an amazing end to an amazing show. And bravo to the writers, actors, etc for making a series finale that was one of the best I have ever seen.

I am not sure it was what everyone expected. It didn't explain each and every mystery that has unfolded over the past 6 years and I never thought it would be so happy about that. What it did was wrap up the island story, bring the amazing characters together in a way that was so beautifully done and remind us this was a story about redemption and love. It made the characters, their relationships, their strengths and their growth the center point. Sure it was a show about an island and its powers, but it was the characters that kept me watching.

I woke up Monday morning with puffy eyes and haven't stopped thinking about it since. I have read many writings and posts about it. I wish I had the ability to write about it but I am positive I could not have done it as eloquently as those that have already have. So I will conclude by saying thank you. Thank you for creating a show that kept us interested and talking. Thinking, laughing, crying, frustrated and mad. And thank you for ending it so...beautifully.

RIP Lost.

The End of Lost

Something that has been a part of my life for the last 6 years is ending tonight. I find myself excited and also a little sad about it. And yes. It is a TV show. And yes, I need to get an actual life.

Talking about Lost. A show that is watched by millions and one I refused to watch at first. Not sure why or what my stance on it was. But after the first year was over, Rob and I had to see what all the fuss was about. So we bought it on DVD and watched the entire 25 show season in like 3 nights and a weekend. We stayed up til 2 in the morning every night just watching "1" more episode. We were hooked. Started season 2 and it has been running our lives ever since.

So here we are. Tonight is the last show ever. I knew this day would come and really wanted it to so I would know what is going on. Each week I watch and I love every minute of it but find myself more ticked off than the week before and more confused. Each week I tell Rob I am done watching the show because it is so frustrating, yet each week I can't wait for it to come again. But now that the end is near, I find it bittersweet. Will they wrap up the story so all our questions will be answered? And if so, really, do I want to know? Last week after they answered some questions I turned to Rob and told him I am not sure I want to know what is really going on. To that he replied "you are exhausting....and a little crazy" Yes, I know. I hear that from him so much, I figure it is in the running for my tombstone. "Here lies Val. Mother, wife, sister, daughter. Was exhausting and a little crazy. RIP"

Blog Therapy

So....instead of using my husband to listen to me (which never happens) or facebook, I think I will start posting again.

A little blog therapy. Never hurts to get it out right? ;)
