When I first heard about the show, Prison Break, I thought, WTF?. A whole show based on breaking out of prison? That won't last long. So, I never watched.
Earlier this year, I started watching on DVD and found myself in love with the show. This was no show about some dude taking 25 years to dig out of prison with a spoon. Don't get me wrong, I loved Shawshank Redemption. But that movie was about patience and a dream. Prison break was a show with a plan. It was intelligent and had strong personalities. The plot and dialogue were well written. I took pleasure in waiting to hear what crazy twisted use of words would come out the mouth of a murdering, one handed, southern pedophile named T-Bag. How many times in your life will you get to say that?
I just finished watching the final season on DVD. All around I would say another good story. I could have gone without the flashbacks that dominated the first half of the season though I can see they were used to show motivation. It wasn't my favorite season but I am glad they ended the show before it jumped the shark. The ending was sad but all good things must come to an end. Right?
They played this song in the final scene. I thought it fitting.
If you got dreams in your heart
Why don't you share them with me?
And if dreams don't come true
I'll make sure that
You're nightmares
Are through
If you got pain in your heart
Why don't you share it with me?
And we'll just wait and see
If it's half what it used to be
And lay it down slow
Lay it down free
Lay it down easy
But lay it on me
If you've got love in your heart
Why don't you keep it with mine?
I can't promise a miracle
But I'll always be trying
And lay it down slow
Lay it down free
Lay it down easy
But lay it on me
Lay it down easy
Lay it on me
Lay it down easy
But lay it on me

A drinking life....
Its late and I am going to pissed off in the morning when i have to get my butt up out of bed.
Drinking as become a sport for me as of late and I thought I would give a little review of places I've been....
Sherlocks: Not much happening on a Saturday afternoon. We played some pool and they have $6 pitchers so I brought one for myself. Hey, I'm cheap.
North by Northwest: Beer was mighty tasty though for the life of me I can't remember what I ordered. The artichoke dip is the fricking bomb.
Spotlight: At least I think that is the name of the place. After many beers and 6 buttery nipples, I sang Karaoke and was officially banned from Cedar Park.
Baby A's: Has become the new Thursday tradition. Yeah for the Fantastico appetizer!
Pleche: Cool french absinthe bar on 4th. Nice decor and good jazz. But the cute bartender had a real gay voice. Would give Mike Tyson a run for his money.
Pangera: Another name I am not sure I have right. Hip Hop dance club. And for some reason, the place where my now gay/lesbian fan club began.
Revolution Room: In San Antonio. Nuff said.
Detour: Biker bar in Lakeway. Cheap drinks. Ugly men. And a girl told me if she was a lesbian she would be all over me. Never mind she was dry humping my leg as saying this.
Sam's Boat: Not sure I have anything really bad or good to say here. Did not try the food.
Iron Cactus: Like the one downtown but the one up north was lacking. Might have been because it was a weeknight. Patio looked nice.
Kahuna: Good happy hour specials and the jalapeno poppers are the best I've ever had!
Little Woodrows: Beer makes me happy. Huge patio at Parmer location.
Cool River: Old men, old women. But when the bartender is hooking you up and a hot 27 year old is nice to an old lady like myself, well, things are not so bad. Plus, it is the 3rd bar in Austin I've been to lately that you can smoke. Not that I smoke.
Canary Roost: Drinks are pretty cheap and it was some of the most disturbing karaoke I've ever heard.
Illusions: A cave like black club in Pflugerville. $2 drinks on Wednesdays plus karaoke. The best part was that some guy named Jo-Jo made some amazing enchilada casserole for everyone!
Kuno's: In Round Rock. Don't go. Long story for another time but you might find yourself at some people's house and have to escape (really, i did) because there was a possibility some really bad shit was gonna go down.

I just realized: Part 2
That today is my ex-husbands b-day. (funny how it is on the same day as last year)
That I have taken 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
That Wentworth Miller needs to call me.
That I don't believe in the same things I believed in a year ago.
That sometimes people are not who you think they are or even who they think they are.
That Morning Star sausages are not bad at 4am if you throw some Rudy's sauce on them
That I have some reason for being here, I just don't know what it is yet.
That I don't have the love to give that I used to.
