Where Am I Going, And Why Am I In This Handbasket?

On "Lost"

I had a philosophical argument with my old man the other night about the greatest funnest engagingist show on TV, LOST. I know we all have different tastes, but I feel like this show is just SO much fun and interesting on so many levels, that it simply HAS to appeal to everyone. I can't understand why anyone would dislike it. Like most of the opinions I hold, I simply cannot fathom when anyone doesn't agree with me. It makes no sense. Ha.

So if my old man isn't working on any given night, I'm thrilled - it means he gets to hang with me, with his twerps. Lately he hasn't worked Wednesday nights, so he's home. He cooks dinner and we all have a nice lil time. Come 8pm, however, he literally walks out the door, to run an errand, to visit his buddy down the street, whatever - he says he'll be back in an hour. He refuses to watch Lost with me. It makes me absolutely bonkers.

So I pinned him down to the couch, elbow on his chest (it paralyzes him in a combo of pain & giggles), and we had a calm discussion. That I watch hours and hours and hours of stupid shit like Motorcycle/Monster/Tattoo/Cooking shows, I watch fucking Walking Tall & Tombstone with him every time they're on (which is every other day), quality flicks with the likes of Brian Dennehy & Tom Berenger - all kinds of things I think are lame - JUST to be near him, JUST to show I can GIVE hahaha and the second Lost comes on Chris simply HAS to leave the fucking HOUSE, he can't even stand to be in the same room while it's on. He has to scram.

While I technically won because I had many superior points, I lost because at the end Chris just laughed & shrugged, and said NOPE. He won't watch the show.

ARGH!
