Ridin' through this world...

I'm not a tv person, I'd rather read a good book. But every once in a while I discover a tv series I like and as I usually discover them after they have been on for years I have a lot of catching up to do. So as one with a borderline addictive insular personality I will focus completely on that series to the exclusion of all else in my life.

I have just watched the last episode of season 3 of a show called Son's of Anarchy. I have spent the last week or so watching all episodes of the 3 seasons.

SOA is a US drama series that premiered in 2008. It's about SAMCROW, an outlaw motorcycle club...think Hell's Angels.

The story-telling is fantastic. There's a Hamlet theme going on mixed in with a mafia mob like element that surrounds the club and then of course there's the drama of the complexity of human relationships, all set in what seems to be a small town in California. Even the violence shown, and quite a lot is shown, hasn't put me off the show. And to top it all off, there are a few funny lines thrown in.

Lastly SOA has hands down the best ever soundtrack I have ever heard on any tv program. Every single song played complements the scene(s) it accompanies and the lyrics...wow, just wow.

I'm just going to end by saying SOA rocks and season four can't get here too soon for me.

Title - it's from the theme song of SOA This Life.

P.S - third or fourth post in a week....hmmm...is the drought over?

I believe the children are the future...

Kids...lets talk kids.

There's this rumour going round I don't like kids, the human variety not the animal...though some of the human ones I've come across are no better in behaviour than the animal ones.

But seriously I don't not like kids. I just lack the patience that's required to deal with them.

I need to put a caveat here now, the fact that my niece and nephew are around at the moment has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on my decision to write this post :)

I love Osqd and thankfully they know the aunt they've got and accept me and my rules and quirks. I love them even more now they are getting older and I can relate to them on a level that makes sense. Also they are my family, it's kind of a requirement that I love them.

I will confess though that I barely had interest in them as babies. I mean I loved them in that abstract way you love family members but they were babies and I don't do babies. I can't relate to them. They don't talk, they can't talk...so what do you do with them, how do you know what they want...and they cry all the damn time...for everything...you know..because they can't talk!!!!

But I don't hate babies, I just don't get them. Call me when they turn between 2-4 and start to speak a language I can decipher, I'd much rather 6-8 though when they start to reason properly and understand that tantrums don't work with me....Osqd are such a joy to be with now :).

Also what's with the need of parents to inform you on every single perceived milestone their baby reaches. OMG he/she smiled, they send a picture via bb. OMG he/she sat up, sending a picture. OMG he/she looks so cute in this outfit you got him/her, here's a picture. OMG he/she...he/she...erm he/she...whatever...he/she's alive...did you get the picture?

And then of course I feel pressured to reply to the bbm's, thank God for smileys.

I will take this time to apologise to my friends and family for not enquiring frequently about their kids...it's just well...erm...yeah...I got the pictures though.

Anyway I just thought I'd put it out there once and for all. I don't hate kids. I would like to have kids at some point and BGG I will. And I promise to inform all and sundry about his/her every detail...yep get ready folks cos it'll be payback time :)
