the men of lost

I think since I stole the idea for this blog from Rebekah and since she's been meaning to write about this particular topic for some time but hasn't, it's only appropriate that I write my first entry about the men of lost. So it's like this. Every week four of my girlfriends and I get together to watch Lost and have pina coladas. This week was the season finale and it didn't disappoint. Now, I can confess that we have surfed the oceanic websites and that we are really fascinated by the mysteries of the island, but we can admit that our favorite thing about Lost is all of those beautiful MEN! It's kind of wonderful to have a show with strong, independent, powerful women, and insecure, scared, and royally screwed up men who happen to look really good on a desert island. Okay, we'll admit that the women have their neuroses and the men have their hero moments, but somebody in Lost land really must want to make the 30-and-single female population of the world happy. Here's why we love them (besides the obvious appeal).
Desmond. Aside from the great accent, this guy is full of passion and really loves his lady-friend, Penny, despite being away from her for a really long time. He's visionary and hopeful and long-suffering.
Dr. Jack. So Jack is the obvious hero on this little island of terror and mayhem. He's something of a tortured soul who really feels a need to take care of everybody and be the good guy but he's not above cutting somebody open and threatening his life to save everyone else. It's pretty incredible how he can keep the perfect amount of scruff on the island with no razor, but I'm not complaining. Somehow he's made the brow furrow sexy.

Jin. Clearly the producers of Lost are no respectors of race when it comes to choosing attractive men for the show. Jin's quiet, for the obvious-can't speak english-reasons, but he means what he says and he's not afraid to jump in and help even when he's uncomfortable. He's resourceful and good with his hands.

Sayid. Oh, how we love this man. He's incredibly passionate. He's ferocious and committed when it comes to protecting the people he cares about but gentle and loving by nature. Plus he's really smart can figure out how to make a 16 year-old radio work.

And for my personal favorite, looking more than a little bit smoldering in just jeans, Sawyer. The resident bad boy, he's impetuous and impulsive but under it all he's just a therapist's dream with his screwed up childhood and great big heart! Plus, at least for the cameras, he appears to be a really good kisser.





Honorable mention go to the still somehow sexy Locke for his goodness and his determination, the dead rockstar drug addict turned loving father of sorts Charlie and in a throwback to the first season, the attractive quasi-incest participant Boone.

So that's my first "don't want to live without" . If you've never watched the show, and you're intrigued, you have from now until January to catch up on the first four seasons. I recommend it.

starting out

So it turns out all the cool people I know have blogs. I guess you have to believe that you have something interesting to say, and since I don't have any cute children to write about and I hardly ever do anything all that noteworthy, I thought I'd write about things that are great and things that are not (in my not-so-humble opinion, of course). I basically stole the idea from my friend Rebekah, but I called it something different so it's hardly a rip-off.
