LOST Finale Eve

So here we are on the eve of the end of LOST. It's like the last day of a big family get-together.....no matter how great the day is, it's bittersweet.....It hurts to say goodbye.

A year ago, I started trying to prepare myself for this day. I started dreaming up some massive celebration worthy of sending the show off like it deserved. I pictured a room full of all my closest "LOST-crazy" friends huddled in anticipation for the denouement of this brilliant show.....ready for whatever was to happen to our beloved castaways. This show meant something, after all.

Now that I realize nothing appropriately epic is going to occur (short of me watching the final episode with the entire cast and crew, nothing would suffice anyways), I think I'm going to send LOST off the way I brought her into this world. You see...on September 22, 2004 I watched part 1 of the Pilot episode in my apartment in Auburn, AL by myself. My mind was blown and the love affair had begun in earnest. Tomorow, I think it's fitting that it be just LOST, me, and a bowl of popcorn as the final curtain come down.

As Joe Banks says in "Joe Versus The Volcano":
...There are certain times in your life when I guess you're not supposed to have anybody, you know? There are certain doors you have to go through alone."
