Odd Man Out

Apparently 6 years ago a little TV show aired that I, America's TV addict, failed to recognize as life changing. LOST. In my defense a TV show about a lot of people who survived a plane crash on an island just didn't appeal to me.

1. I am already a little paranoid about flying so I didn't need some stupid show to reinforce the idea that I could possible go down in a blaze of glory.

2. the idea of people marooned on a desert island seemed like a cross between Gilligan's Island and the movie Alive. What would have happened if the cast of Gilligan's island never got off the island? Who would they eat first? I am guessing the Skipper....

So LOST and I never clicked. Prior to this season, which happens to be the last, all I knew about LOST was that there was a Hobbit from Lord of the Rings, that Guy from Party of 5, a whole bunch of other people that survived a plane crash on an island, and NO Vampires. Boring!!

Quite frankly LOST and I will never be besties. There are no musical numbers, no Vampire/Teenage angst, and no funny and heart warming parental antidotes. Sorry LOST find some other nerd to suck in because it ain't happening with me. Put the original cast of 90210 on the island and then we can talk. But as it turns out all my co-works are die hard LOST fans. So that makes me The Odd Mad out....dun dun da!!

A co-worker suggested that I rent the first 5 seasons and watch them over the weekend. Then I would be able to partake in their Wednesday Morning LOST recap conversations. Brilliant! NOT! That's exactly what I don't want to do with my days off. Rent 5 seasons of a TV show I already stated I had no desire to watch in the first place. Just so I can fit in with your circle of friends. Is this starting to sound a little like High School to anyone....? WHOA Deja Vu! Anyways this is coming from a co-worker who has never seen the movie Teen Wolf. I do not take viewing suggestions from someone who can't appreciate the true cinematic genius of the 1980s. On top of that if you Google "Cool Kid" this co-worker will pop up. We are talking Fo-Hawk, Ed Hardy T-shirts, Diesel Jeans, and unseasonably tan. He is basically the Zak Morris of our office. Or as we like to refer to him, he is DAGR8ST. (On a side note I am a loyal Google fan. Sorry Bill Gates but Bing is lame. And I don't care that you have Vampires in your commercial, Google is still better. I feel a Beta vs. VHS rivalry coming on and Bing is going down! Hey Bing tell Beta 1975 says hi.)

As it turns out I am not the only TV addict out there that has never watched LOST. Our Bosses Boss is also a LOST junkie and subscribes to a blog written by a guy who is watching LOST for the first time. After each episode he Blogs about what he has learned and what he thinks about the show. 1 word....HILARIOUS! I have been asked not to read this blog at work because I laugh out loud and distract my co-workers. This guy was my inspiration to start my own blog. While I still have no desire to watch LOST I look forward to Wednesday afternoon so I can read his blog.

We are friends on Facebook so basically we are BFFs in real life. If you are a LOST fan, or like me never watched the show, this blog will entertain you. I am going to suggest he Blog about some of my favorite TV shows next. The Real Housewives of New Jersey comes to mind as a great show to mock!!
