HEROES

Hey folks! It's time again for a review of what's going on in the world of HEROES. WHERE to begin?!? Well, first off, the show has done a 180 degree turn landing back in my good graces. This weeks episode was pretty good, but two weeks ago was OFF DA CHAIN! (Do people still say 'off the chain?')

Hiro has left fuedal Japan and is jumping around in the states again present day. His male lover is back in Japan sitting in a closed off office playing video games or something gay.

Claire - oh sweet, hot, sexy Claire! Her storyline has been pushed to the foreground. Noah (father) was killed saving her from the company, and then ressusitated using Adam (Kensei - Hiro's not-so-super hero from the past) Monroe's blood. Oh, he's immortal. So I guess that means Claire is as well. Hope Miss Hayden is using her spf and moisturizers!

The Latino Wunder Twins are still annoying. But at least one of them is dead now. Now Rosa and Sylar are hoofing it up to NYC together. He's still a douche, in case you were wondering.



Ok, this isn't as entertaining to write about unless I really hate it. So I guess I'll try again after the writer's strike fucks up the next hump of the storyline.

A humbling experience

It's interesting finding your adult relationship with your parents - well, it's interesting for me. We didn't have what you would call a friendly relationship when I was growing up. I think I wanted to be treated like an adult, but didn't want to act like one. Anywho, now that I'm grown, it's like I've reconnected with old friends. We laugh about most of the same things, reminisce, and share surprisingly similar viewpoints on most matters.

I've been working with my father in Dallas for the past week on my trip across the states. It just amazing me how similar we are. We were chatting today about growing up and he gave me a great perscpective on things that I've been slowly (VERY slowly) coming to on my own. He said that it's funny how age humbles you. You think you're at the top of your game and then something or someone comes along and shows you that you aren't even on the field.

What I'm really impressed and inspired with is his ability to roll with the punches. Maybe that's something that comes with age. I mean, sure - right now I moisturize, shampoo, condition, scrub, peel, pluck, tone, lift, crunch, jog and so on; but in thirty years what's going to be take it's place? Will that stuff even matter to me? What I'm afraid I might be discovering is that relationships and inner happiness might be a bit more important than facials and gyms.

Who knows. It's probably different for everyone, and I doubt I'll have a clear idea of the total picture any time soon. I guess I'll just have to be happy with what I do understand, and be open to that which I don't. :)

I'm back where I started from. Åfter a few days on the road and a pit stop in Arkansas to see some family, I'm home in the great state of Texas! Things are pretty much the same. Big houses. Big cars. Big hair. :)
