Yes LOST is only a t.v. show, but if you watched it, it became a part of you. We watched these characters for 6 crazy seasons and you grow attached to them. I rooted for them, cried for them, cheered for them...and occasionally couldn't wait for some to be axed * cough cough Shannon, Nikki and Paulo-who?*
Usually people cut these posts to not spoil, but eh no one really reads this anyways and the few who do have already seen the finale.
A tad bit ironic that the finale has the fans split over loving it or hating it. Kind of like Jacob and the Man in Black. Yes, I think THAT much into it :D
Now with this past season we had the side universe, which I enjoyed. i liked how everyone still ending up meeting one another and helping each other out, regardless of the plane crashing. And c'mon how great was it when Desmond gets his revenge on smokey! And the Richard episode was classic, CLASSIC!
The side universe in the finale was slightly different though. Everyone seemed content and more accepting to the events that were bringing them together, even if they didn't know at first.
Part of me kept yelling in my head, don't hurt Des! Desmond and Penny always!
I really liked seeing pretty much all the characters again...well maybe not Shannon, but it helped the storyline! Rose and Bernard! I love them! They're so content in basically their own little world with Vincent. Haha bring drama to us and we'll make sure you're fed before we kick you out!
Daniel playing piano with Charlie and Liam, um hell yes! of course I loved seeing Charlie again, I almost bawled when he remembered everything with Claire.
Sun and Jin too! their death was so sad,but sweet since they stayed together.
Awww and Juliet and Sawyer again! Too much to take in!
yes Frank lived! I kind of had a feeling he would, great character!
Even though Kate got annoying towards the end and a lot of people wanted her to die, it was sweet seeing the whole Jate storyline again.
Noble Jack, it was soo hard watching him slowly die, but what a brilliant ending! And the plane flying overhead. Really hard to hold back the tears when Vincent stayed with him.
I would love to see Hurley and Ben run the island! Great spin-off! number 1 and number 2!
it was nice knowing, with all the struggles and deaths and conflicts, that in the end some people did finally once and for all make it off the island to continue their lives. Richard FINALLY!!!!
And once their time was up on this Earth they all would be reunited again! Like the end of Titanic! But I loved that ending, both these endings!
love it or hate it, everyone is still talking about after the fact. Which was part of the intent! The creators wanted people to continue discussing it and making theories up after the final episode.
I'll have to watch it again to really let it all sink in.
I'm content with it. Everyone is going to have different expectations of it and opinions about it, but that's how it's always been.
I stay with Jacob on this one.

On the matter of death
This past Saturday evening, a guy I worked with passed away.
We all found out the next morning. His dad called my manager to let us know and told her all he could before breaking down, who could blame him. The cause is undetermined at this point. It happened sometime after dinner. He was only 44 and seemed in good health. He rode his bike to work everyday and always kept busy. He will be missed. Both his parents mentioned how he always liked going to work and how he enjoyed working with all of us. There was only 6 of us there. It's a really sad and weird situation. It's been hard letting it all sink in. We brought flowers and a card over to their house and are waiting for the service to be scheduled.
I've lost two grandparents. One when I was still pretty young, so I didn't really understand it all and we didn't have a chance to be close. The other one was injured at a nursing home and digressed way to soon. So again I wasn't able to be close with her. Of course i love my family and it was hard. It's different this time though. Here's someone whom I saw and talked to 5 times a week.
As the days pass it's becoming a little easier to accept,but then we come across notes at work or his numbers in the roladex.
This will be the first service I have gone to as well. With my grandfather we had a dinner, but again I was too young. With my grandmother, there was no service, my mum and aunt took their ashes to the mountains and spread them.

On the matter of drinking
have a lot of different things to write about that I have been meaning to. I'll start it off with something that happened today...work backwards in a way.
Funny how we overthink and obsess over the smallest actions.
At work we decided on getting some cheese sticks. we get them and my boss points out that the dipping sauce has beer in it. I don't drink so I made the remark that I don't drink and so I no longer want any of the sauce. The response from the two people who were there was it's not strong enough to get you drunk. i repeated that I don;t drink which is the reason as to why I don't want sauce with beer and one continued with "if that gets you drunk, then you shouldn't be drinking"...
Completely besides the point! And then went on about foods that are cooked with beer... some people like beer battered foods, I don't. But that's different most of the alcohol is burned out in the cooking process. This was sauce with it poured into it. Not cooked in at all. no there's not enough in it to make one drunk...but it's pretty close to drinking it.They just could not grasp why I didn't want something with beer in it.
Now, I'm no saint. Yes i have drank before. I won't deny it. But it is the second lowest I have been in my life. Not that I ever got drunk, or even tipsy. Nothing bad resulted from it. It's just that to me personally it's a low because of what it could have lead to,alcoholism runs in my family. And it's something I have to deal with everyday for the rest of my life.
People shouldn't by now, but they still blow my mind with the concepts they can't seem to grasp, no matter how much you try to clarify them.
