A fellow blogging friend recently reminded me of this Teddy Roosevelt quote on criticism:<br /><br /><i> "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."</i><br />- Teddy Roosevelt <br /><br />Thanks for the show. I'm hooked.bowiechickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029667796188565430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108759479938339169.post-60407068256880926862010-01-05T10:02:29.643-08:002010-01-05T10:02:29.643-08:00I have become obsessed with SOA.

It taught me all bikers are not prejudice (which is a sterotype most blacks probably subscribe to . . . not sure why). <br /><br />I love the intimacy between the characters and have some suggestions of actors you should consider for next season. I would LOVE to see Taylor Kitsch & Adrianne Palicki(from Friday night lights)and Paul Walker (Fast & Furious). Any of these actors could be a half sibling of Jax . . . Taylor could even be Clay's son (they never said whether he has children or was married before Jemma). Taylor & Paul would make EXCELLENT additions . . . and new hotties for me to watch (from my mouth to you and God's ears).<br /><br />Whoever joins the cast has nothing on my new HUGE crush Charlie H./Jax). I'm with Georgy . . . he has brad pitt qualities, but not so gay . . . lmao!NYCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108759479938339169.post-42576077732478573412010-01-01T08:59:28.415-08:002010-01-01T08:59:28.415-08:00Watched The Shield "Dead Soldiers" last ...Watched The Shield "Dead Soldiers" last night.

Not because I feel like I'm sitting with my Brothers, it's because of the writing! There's a great throw-away line in Episode 11 (i think) where Jimmy O comes to the safe house to help SAMCRO with the bait ans switch for the AKs and the Irish Kids says:" Where'd ye git the wetback?" and Jimmy O says (while looking around the room) : "Home Depot" and the scene goes on with nary a skip in the beat.

Then I move onto the next one. <br /><br />I'm more than tempted to give Mad Men a watch though. I watched Dexter for a couple of seasons, but budget cuts forced me to cancel my subscription to Showtime. I'm into 'Weeds' and buy the DVD when the season ends.<br /><br />Gave 'Breaking Bad' a chance, but couldn't get into it for some reason. Odd, because it's right up my alley.<br /><br />Can't wait for season 3 of SOA. I've watched the season finale more times than I can count. Charlie Hunnam and Katey captivate me beyond words. Charlie's performance in the scene where he kills Weston (both before, during and after) was so incredibly real to me. The final scene on the dock literally brought me to tears. Writing and acting that pulls you in like that, making you genuinely care about the characters... Wow.

Why is this important you might think ? Because Jack Kerouac lived not one block from Sutter Avenue, which is were he wrote On the Road and some other classic American novels. I think that is very karmic considering many people have said you are also the voice of an unheard of populace in this country. Anyway, I just thought I would share that with you.

Something to get me through to season 3 - thanks!<br /><br />I understand how some shows feel like "work" to you. We all want to have a job doing something we feel passionate about. But sometimes doing it all the time takes away a little of the appeal. It can also be hard not to analyze how you would have done things differently.<br /><br />Hope you and your family have a great New Year!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06025827741152894527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108759479938339169.post-81825242728712987252009-12-26T21:33:52.412-08:002009-12-26T21:33:52.412-08:00This is probably going to sound like some kind of ...This is probably going to sound like some kind of echo, but -- you should definitely try to re-start/catch-up with Breaking Bad. All-around excellent and twisted.<br /><br />Also recommended is Burn Notice. It's MacGuyver meets the A-Team with Bruce Campbell ... need I say more?<br /><br />And ditto your comment regarding Jon Stewart. I try to touch base with various "news" shows throughout the day, but usually have to turn and run after 5 mins for fear of throwing something at my tv and breaking it. If it weren't for Stewart, I'd pretty much be complete out of the loop. For a “joke news show,” it tends to be just as reputable, if not more, than the so-called “legitimate” shows.<br /><br />And finally, if I could force you to watch one show currently running, hands-down it would be Metalocalypse. One of the most brutal and side-splitting cartoons ever allowed to air. It used to run 15 mins like its AdultSwim cohort Robot Chicken, but has since been given a 30 min slot, much to my delight. They just started their 3rd season before the holiday break, but I recommend starting from the beginning -- as there is a BIT of backstory and story-arc (for a cartoon?!), but it's in no way a requirement to enjoy the show. Brendon Small is a frickin’ genius and his little installation always impresses (but doesn’t surprise) me at how much credit it has. It’s spawned two musical tours (again … for a cartoon?!?!), and is voiced by the talents of Mark Hamill, Malcolm McDowell, and Victor Brandt (among others). When it first aired, I didn’t give it a fair shot, but my roommate loved to watch and I found myself laughing outloud to it while attempting not to watch. Finally, I gave in and let myself sit down and take it all in, and I haven’t looked back. Go on, give it a shot.<br /><br />Happy holidays to you and yours, enjoy the roll over into the next year, and here’s to peace, love, and watchable tv!KnotMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599532028811690124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108759479938339169.post-85088877276446423022009-12-26T14:52:56.336-08:002009-12-26T14:52:56.336-08:00I'm with you on almost everything.

It's always nice to know what catches other creative persons's eye(s). <br /><br />I'm not a big watcher of teevee myself; naturally, SOA is one of my shows that I watch. But, there are other things that I follow religiously, and would like to share with others. <br /><br />We just recnetly got pay teevee again, so will be DVRing True Blood season 1. I've heard a lot of good about it, and want to see for myself. <br /><br />I follow one, and only one soap opera, Young and Restless. Eric Braeden is my favorite actor there, though I enjoyed it immensely when Larry 'Shark' Fralick was a regular. <br /><br />"Men of a Certain Age" is well written, and something I can identify with, being in the 'middle age' bracket. <br /><br />"Flash Forward", it's not something that one can watch while doing other things, but it's also a fascinating premise and well done. <br /><br />"Law and Order/SVU/Criminal Intent". When something lasts as long as these, with a great ensemble cast and good writing, it shows what network tee vee can be when it wants to be. <br /><br />There is a glut of court shows on syndication, but the best is Judge Judy. She rocks! Judge Joe Brown is the only other one I can watch. He never fails to put people of all kinds in their place. <br /><br />IU Basketball. OK, our Hoosiers have their ups and downs (more downs than ups since Coach got canned), but when you're a legacy fan, you show your support. Cubs baseball and Da Bears are my sports viewing. <br /><br />After working nearly a decade in television and radio, it doesn't take much to lose me as a viewer/listener/watcher. This is not an all inclusive list, just what happens to be on the DVR recording list at this time. <br /><br />Sorry again that HFPA and SAG snubbed SOA. As we Cubs fans say, 'There's always next year!'Indianacatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108759479938339169.post-84742393958706763362009-12-26T09:31:11.358-08:002009-12-26T09:31:11.358-08:00Unsolicited thoughts on comments:

It's not SOA.<br /><br />Breaking Bad is okay, but its philosophical core is ridiculous. The final was brilliant in season 2, but it would have been impossible to predict that from what came before. Pimple on the butt of SOA. Definitely not can't-miss.<br /><br />Have not missed an ep of either - but I wouldn't miss a meal of meatloaf, either, if there were no filet mignon to be had.<br /><br />Why should anyone be embarrassed by Glee?
