For a while now my mom and brother have been trying to get me to watch Boston Legal. My brother has all the episodes and lent me season 1, which I suffered through. It reminded me too much of Ally McBeal: quirky and stupid with perfectly coiffed and semi-likable characters that have these traits about them that are supposed to be endearing or off-kilter but are more often than not traits that would get you fired from your job on the spot in the real world.I've just started on season 2 and... it's great. They've tackled the sea lice issue (after taking a trip to a BC fishing lodge), gone after a major automobile conglomerate, and tried to sue the US government for the death of a soldier while he was doing a duty he didn't sign up for, after his one year tour was up. It was excellent.
It was made more spectacular by the introduction of a character named Garrett. Garrett is lovely. When I watch Garrett (Justin Mentell) I wonder: why isn't he mainstream? Tom Cruise is over. Brad Pitt has morphed from actor to quasi-humanitarian/fledgling architect (and was never that great to begin with). Shia Lebouef? God no. Leo DiCaprio still looks like a twelve year old. The main guy from the Twilight series is quite unattractive when viewed at certain angles.
I know. Who am I to judge or criticize? Someone commented on my blog that I look like Sarah Palin. I've never been so insulted in my life. Oh no wait, there was that time I was wearing cargo shorts and a tight tank top and a baseball hat and was mistaken for a boy. That was pretty great. Ohhh... I guess that explains why boyfriend number 3(ish?) offered to buy me new tits. Also a confidence booster.
We can't help what we look like. I look like me. I wish I looked like some of the women that Michael finished up the run with on Sunday. Note to self: rejoin the running clinic and start wearing mascara during hill repeats. And buy a long, blonde wig.
I'm not sure where I was going with this whole post. Namely I was just objectifying Justin Mentell which is wrong because you shouldn't objectify people. But you can covet them, secretly, in the confines of your own home, and create various scenarios that you can add to your limited selection of masturbatory material.
Yeah.
I'll probably delete this post tomorrow because it's just a big bowl of wrong.

LOL. Ees nice.
"We are who we are and beauty is never seen, but felt with the mind" (Ardie 1978) So you don`t have to be beautifull to give pleasure to others, for them to love you or want to spend the rest of their life with you! The beauty we see is that which we wished we were or percieve that others would like too. How many attractive, desirable stars do you know who cannot hold down a relationship? and would probably be a nightmare to live with. great post by the way, don`t delete it, please :o))
Thanks, Rob. True words, surely.
i'm glad u didnt delete the post. i fell on it purely by some divine plan. i was fortunate enough to be blessed w/having justin as a close friend. he was the last person i spoke to b4 going under 4 a surgery that would end up leaving me in a coma, which is where i was when he had a freak 1 car crash on a rural highway in wisconsin, not far from where my dad used to take me fishing. Justin Mentell died on 2/1/2010 justin wasnt mainstream cuz, well, he wasnt mainstream. unfortunately, he was inexplicably written off boston legal - something that seemed to bother european viewers much more than americans. there was more to him than BL. check out palo alto, gothan, il, g-force, '77, to name a few. there was his art, his music & he was profound, eg: "Being happy today isn't the same as being happy was in the 40s or 50s. Today's society has distorted what happiness is, making it more of a band wagon thing driven by money, materialism, or who has accomplished more of this or that. Being happy isn't about accomplishing the most, it's knowing that with anything you do no matter how big or small, you changed someones life. Their thoughts, ideas or beliefs, enabling them to see through the grim fog that today's society has evolved into and finding the real purpose of life."
"My philosophy in life is either go all the way or don't go at all."
"Half assing anything never gets you anywhere."
"You don't have to prove anything that is in your heart."
"Englightenment does not come from a group of minds, but a single mind willing to abandon the rest."
"Life was meant to be a vacation, not a job."
"The moment you stop caring is the moment you start living."
"The condition of the human life is a sacred thing, the conditions we live it under are not, laugh more, smile more."
"Your relationship to the creator should not include the following two things .... money and people."
i'm glad his acting touched you. i know he's glad, too. i'm learning to have a new relationship w/him.
