LOST EPISODE “JUGHEAD” … IS DANIEL FARADAY SUPPOSED TO BE THE JUGHEAD?

Sure, the “bomb” is a 1954 Jughead, but I’m thinking the writers were really talking about Charles Widmore and Daniel Faraday.  Which was the bigger bomb dropped tonight?  LOST was very interesting tonight.  I felt like I was getting closer to the truth, but nothing made sense while I was watching.  So I’ve got to work it out here.  If what I write doesn’t make sense to you, oh well.  Because I’m trying to work it all out on the blog rather than in my head.  Pretty quick we figured out that its the early 1950s on the island, and that Daniel Faraday is a “Jumper.”  But what is he after on that island?  Why does he care about the bomb so much?  Why does he recognize that female soldier?  Wait, do they have female soldiers back in the 1950s in the British Royal Army?   Because I’m guessing the soldiers become The Others that we love to hate in present day.  This is why The Others are wearing dirty torn up military style clothing and no shoes.  Because they have been stuck on that Island for all those years.  And what is all this talk about a hydrogen bomb that the Americans have come looking for?

Then it hit me, a little clue from the writers.  Remember when they mentioned Archie and Meathead? And the other dude says no, you mean Archie and Jughead and the first guy said, no, another Archie.  I’m thinking Daniel Faraday is Jughead, and Desmond and Charles Widmore are the Archie and Meathead.

Roll with me for a moment.  Who are Archie and Meathead?  Remember All in the Family, one of the best shows ever?  Remember the epic battle between father and son-in-law?  Were the producers using them as metaphors for Charles Widmore and Desmond?  Archie and Meathead grew a bit closer by the end of the show.  Will the same happen for Mr. Widmore and Desmond?  Tonight, after Desmond burst into his office, looking for Daniel’s mother, they have a moment … because they both love Penny and want what is best for her.

Who is the cartoon Jughead?  I remember him as an oddball with no luck with the ladies.  Daniel denied being a romeo to Ellie, the girl with the gun.  Jughead traveled with a Reggie (Asian ghost whisperer … aka Miles) and Veronica (Charlotte) and was extremely intelligent.  He also had a crush on Betty.  So, the love trio between Daniel and Charlotte and Ellie has its beginnings in this episode.  I think the girl in the vegetative state in the bed that Daniel abandoned is a time traveler who must have came from the island.  Is it Charlotte?  After all, her sister said that she said she was talking to her dad one day and saying something else weird the next.  So who is his Archie?  No other than his constant Desmond.

Remember when Daniel landed on the island and he said that rescuing them was not his primary objective?  Was he there to dismantle the bomb?  It was supposed to be a question to Ben … but is it because of radiation poisoning … or electromagnetism, or is it to save the island, or someone on it?  Don’t forget Ben used gas to kill the entire Dharma Initiative … and that Rousseau’s group died from a mystery sickness.  We know the Jughead bomb was leaking in 1954 on the island, but what state is in during present day 2007?

Here’s the real Jughead of tonight’s episode of LOST:

Ellie … that could be short for Eloise, right?  As in Ms. Eloise Hawking, the woman who could see the man in the red shoes death and who told Desmond that his destiny was The Island and who was also the woman with Ben in the flash forward.

Who is she?  Mother of Charlotte?  Mother or girlfriend to Daniel?  Love of Charles Widmore?

Also, does anyone remember that when Richard did come to visit John Locke as a child he placed that compass that John just gave to him tonight … and that John should have picked it, rather than the knife, and that is why Richard walked away from him that day?  I was so damn impressed that I remembered that moment.

And am I the only one to find it odd that Charlie and Charles Widmore both could be the namesake for Desmond and Penny’s son Charlie?

RIP Charlie Pace…

LOST, YOU DROPPED A BOMB ON ME BABY …

Octuplets Birth, John Updikes Death and Jessica Simpson’s Big Ass Mom Jeans

There are so many things in the news tonight … my god, do you see the ass on Jessica Simpson?  I just couldn’t pick one thing to blog about.  So, let me recap some of the shit that went down these past few days.

John Updike died today – Sadly, I have never read a book of his in my life.  but I can appreciate a man who went to Oxford and who has won two Pulitzer Prizes.

Some anonymous woman gives birth to 8 babies (Octuplets) today… And so far, they are all alive, and the parents don’t want their names released.  6 boys and 2 girls.  It took 46 people to delivery them all.  This is proof that there are other people out there who do think its best to keep your life private to all those asshole crazy people who stalk me on my blog posts about Jon & Kate.  You see, I think its not healthy to make a living off your kids like Jon & Kate appear to be doing.  Right now, Kate Gosselin is shitting her pants in her fancy new mansion in PA, just contemplating what she has to do next to keep up with these people.  Rumor has it she’s pregnant with twins, but who know?  Read my Jon and Kate posts if you are into that sort of thing.  People put all the craziest gossip about them there.  Here is a picture someone emailed to me of Kate, acting crazy as ever at her book signing.  If you don’t want to be famous, then walk away from it all.

Citigroup – You fucking assholes.  You are going to take $45 million from struggling tax payers and buy a jet for $50 million?  After Obama letting these idiots know “Um, no, not such a great idea!” I’m loving him as President today!

Jessica Simpson’s ass – Oh, man, didn’t she learn her lesson after the first mom jeans photo?  Look what happened here at a Chili cook-off concert. 

(By the way, I wish I was just “This fat.”  You catch me at this angle and I’d look like a damn monster.)

Caylee Anthony’s Grandfather tried to kill himself.  First, I have not been staying up late, so I totally missed this piece of news until Haven Kimmel blogged about it today.  I am so sad for him.  Wanna know what did it?  After hearing that poor little Caylee was found with a heart sticker placed over the duct tape that covered her mouth.  Can you imagine how hard it is to know that your child killed her child?  I am so sorry for him tonight. Watch it here:

Rock of Love Bus Ashley – Our Favorite Hot Mess

Rock of Love Bus is full of actress wannabes.  Ashley is my favorite.  She’s crass, white trash, and in it to win it.

Back in the old days of seasons one and two of Rock of Love, you sort of believed that those girls wanted Bret to be their boyfriend.  Who wouldn’t want to make love to this man?

But this season it’s all about business.  How long these girls can last on the tour bus, thus making them more famous, and eligible for hosting gigs and perhaps a Playboy pictorial, or a shot on another VH1 show? 

So far, I’ve learned that three of these ladies have kids.  Beverly has three and is a divorcee after nine years of marriage.  I like her, but only because she is the only true Bret Michael’s music fan.  So I get why she’s there.  Taya is married and has a child.  And Ashely?  She has a baby.  A baby!  And a tatoo of her boyfriend/father of her child/perhaps even husband named … JAMES.  Even though she covers it up on the show, I’ve worked hard to find a picture of just what the hell was on her chest.  Here is the proof:

Ashley, by far, is now the new Daisy of the show.  I’m not sure that she will win Rock of Love Bus, but she is a contender.  My god, Ashley has some great quotes on the show.  She has a fantastic ghetto mouth about her.  Here are some of her best quotes:

“I didn’t know they made bikinis in size fat fuck!”

“I want a cheeseburger.”

“People puke and they poop their pants.”

“I’ll puke on your mom.”

She is already making famous friends.  Check her out with  Flav o Flav.

Some people think she is a drag queen or trannie.  I could believe that to be true.  I give you this picture, and I want you to ask yourself one thing, just what exactly is she hiding?

But she can’t corner the market in quotes, or even in acting like an ass on camera (Thanks you Marcia!)  Take Farrah, who had a great line herself last week.

Tonights episode was lacking in emotion, in clothing, and even Bret.  The big drama was that Maria went to the hospital, and never came back.

The girls had the roadie challenge, and Taya was so into it that she fell off stage, and you could tell she was hurt.  But she get going like a psycho champ, because she wants to be FAMOUS in the worst way.  Between her falling and Mindy pissing, they lose the challenge along with Farrah and Kelsey, and lose out on going on a date with Bret.  Although, the date was drinking beer and eating bar food at a place aptly named the Rock Bottom Bar.  You can see this show has the lowest budget of all the Rock of Love shows.

Marcia gets her ass kicked off by Bret this week, by telling him she doesn’t love him, drinking herself silly nonstop, and giving away a gift he gave to her to a deserving fan she spotted while dancing on stage at his concert in Chicago.

Beverly stays even though she gave a kiss to the drummer.  Go figure!

Wanna know why they have to go back to the Island? My take on the Season 5 Premier of LOST

After viewing the Season 5 premier of LOST I have a new theory as to what the hell is going on … on the island.  “Because You Left/The Lie” confirmed what I have been thinking ever since my friend, an actor in LA told me about the show.  You see, he is friends with a producer who worked with and is friends with J.J. Abrams.  The Island is Purgatory.  This is a secret shared to my friends’ friend that I’m sharing with you.  After tonight … I’m convinced this secret is true.

First of all, we keep seeing religious symbols and philosophy on every show.  No argument there.  We see miracles, like John Locke being able to walk again, and Rose cured of her cancer.  But, why do people die on the show … only to reappear?  I think its because of Dogma.

Dogma is the established belief (Doctrine) held by a religion (Or organization, like Dharma, or The Others!) thought to be authoritative and not to be disputed, doubted, or diverged from.

So, they people who left the island … aka purgatory … diverged, and now must go back to make things right.

Remember tonight when Daniel Faraday approached Desmond in the hatch and told him to go to Oxford to find his mother?  Why do you think Daniel said the rules don’t apply to Desmond?  Why is he special?  I think it is because Desmond is supposed to save the existence of humanity.  There was a reason he was pushing those buttons for three years.  He is supposed to stop humanity from being destroyed by two renegade angels trying to exploit the loophole to get back into Heaven.  Can you guess who the renegade angels are?  Do you know who is God?  Who is the voice of God?

Is Jacob God?  Is Richard God’s assistant, the voice of God?

Or was Ben the voice of God, only to be replaced by John Locke?  Are Ben and Locke angels or demons?

Are the renegade angels Penny’s dad Charles Widmore and the mysterious Matthew Abaddon?

Is Dr. Christian Shephard Jesus Christ?  Or is he Satan?  Is the body that Ben brought to Jill the butcher Dr. Shephard instead of John Locke?  I think so my friends … I think so.  Let me tell you why I think so.  Last season we see the supposedly dead Charlie warn Jack (Via message told to Hurley) “You’re not supposed to raise him.”  And we see Claire tell Kate “Don’t bring him back.”  EVERYONE and their brother thought they were talking about Aaron.  But I think (At least for tonight) that they were really talking about Christian Shephard, and the posibility of raising him from the dead.

We started off the episode tonight with an alarm clock showing 8:15.  A baby is crying.  A man puts on a record.  Seems simple enough.  Sure, 8 and 15 are two of the numbers.  Do you know what has happened on August 15 throughout history?  Not only is August 15th Napoleon’s birthday, the day The Beatles played the first stadium concert, but its VJ Day, but it is The Assumption of Mary, the day when Mother Mary’s Body and Soul are united.  When we saw that mysterious white haired women with Ben tonight during the last few minutes of the premier, I think its safe to say that perhaps this was Mary, Mother of God telling Ben that we only had 70 hours left until her body was floating up to Heaven.  So, it seems the next two years might be all about those last 70 hours, plus flash forwards and flashbacks.   I also just had a new thought … is she also Daniel’s mother, which would mean he is Jesus, the son of God, which would explain why Desmond is his constant, and give reason as to why he was at The Orchid, carrying explosives, after Dr. Marvin Candle just had said not to drill further, as they can’t release the energy in the rock, where the wheel was, the wheel that we see Ben turn when he moved the island.  Dr. Candle said that “rules that can’t be broken,” but is it ok when Jesus Daniel does?

Hmm … WWJD?

By the way, in case you didn’t watch it all the way through, LOST kicked ass tonight.

Here are some of the best moments of tonight’s episode “Because You Left/The Lie“

1. Sawyer calling Charlotte Ginger and his slap to Daniel aka Jesus.  I love me up some bare chested bad boy Sawyer.  How long until he and Juliet are going at it?
2. Locke telling Jack before his death that Sawyer, Juliette and the rest will die if he won’t go back.  Is Jack a disciple?  How does Jack fit in … he’s the main character.  Jack is a savior as a doctor, but he’s also a liar and a drug user.  Is he supposed to go to heaven or hell when its all said and done.
3. Hurley’s vision of Ana Lucia and her guiding him to safety by telling him “What the hell were you thinking.”  He broke the secret, and now at least his mother knows the truth.  Charlie was a martyre, and now I’m thinking Hurley is the last martyre left.  Is he going to die this season?  Is this why he surrendered to the police rather than going with Ben.  Something to think about … And, oh my god, how funy was it when he hrew his hot pocket at Ben?
4. Richard telling Locke the huge hint “What comes around goes around” after John complained that Ethan shot him.
5. Hurley telling Sayad “You know, if you eat more comfort food, you wouldn’t have to go around shooting people.”
6. Richard giving John the compus to give back to him if Richard won’t recognize him.  Richard told him he’d have to die to get the others back on the island.  I’m not sure what all this means yet, but I’m digging it.
7. Who the hell showed up at Kate’s trying to find out if Aaron is her son.  Obviously they want to take Aaron for their “Other” experiments.  I think we will be seeing more of that silent attorney.
8. Jill asking Ben “How is Shephard?”  When Ben said “He’s with us” I’m pretty sure he meant the other Shephard.
9. That flaming arrow scene on the beach.  Love it when annoying characters get randomly killed on the show.  Seemed a little too coincidental that the other Dharm Station was called the Arrow, and its purpose was to train in defense strategies against hostile habitants on the island.
10. Of course, the best for last … Desmond having a memory rather than a dream with Daniel, his constant.  He’s going to have to go back to the island to save humanity.  And this is how he will see Jack once again, in another life.  Oh brother!

Let me know what you think people!

Happy Blog Anniversary To Me! Over 728,000 Hits in 1 Year!

I can not believe that so many people have found my blog!  How?  Why?  When I started blogging last year I had no idea what I was doing, where my blog was headed, or what I was going to write about.  I started blogging because my friend’s ex-wife had a blog, and I thought to myself “Oh, hell, I can do better than that!”  and away I went.  I went six months without learning how to link to another page until Teeni took pitty on me and helped me out.  I remember my first day as a blogger – thirty people had stopped by, and I was SOOO excited that thirty complete strangers wanted to read what I had to say.

I named my blog The Girl from the Ghetto because I like to make fun of my childhood and teen years.  I grew up on welfare; eating government cheese and Wonderbread, and running wild in the streets of Madison Heights, a city just two miles north of Detroit and the mythical 8 Mile Road that Eminem made world famous.  I also like to remind myself that no matter what I accomplish, how much education I have, or what I do for a living I’m still that fiesty yet scared little girl whose parents fought all the time, the girl who was embarrased by getting free lunches, and the girl who always had a smart ass thought in her head but was so shy she couldn’t speak up.  Now, via the blog, I can run my mouth as I please, and its working for me.

I also started blogging to help deal with all the physical and emotional pain I have in my like.  I have too many diseases that I’m not naming now.  My mom is bipolar.  I also have been trying to find a new job for the past two and a half years, in a state that has almost a 10% unemployment rate.  I’m DYING for a career, not a job, like I have now.  The blog is like free therapy, if I am having a bad day, I can take it out on the Jon and Kate fanatics.  Plus, it makes me happy, because I feel like I’m doing something with my life, other than just searching for a job every night.

I’ve been a pretty busy blogger.  This is my 385th post in 365 days.  I have 317 different categories, and 1,050 tags.  3,325 of you have left me comments and my busiest day ever saw over 34,000 hits. Some of you come for Rock of Love, some for my personal stories, some for the sarcasm, and some come for the love/hate relationship with Kate Gosselin.

My most visited blog has 66,181 views and 288 comments.  It is driving me so crazy I almost want to delete it.  I wrote it almost four months ago but people come and come and come and I don’t understand how that many random people are interested in what I’ve written about KON.  See for yourself if you like.  The comments are far better than the post.

Sometimes some of my posts get very few comments or visitors.  I write my best stuff on weekends and I think most people are weekday blog readers.  So I’m sharing a few of my favoites now, ones that just make me laugh, or ones I think might make my real life and blog friends laugh, or ones that I just want people to read.

Written in one of my foul moods.  If you are a little shady, a little crazy, or a little hateful, its the perfect post to read.

Like I mentioned above, I like to make fun of myself.  The 80s hairstyles are pretty funny.

Nostalgia.  Looking back is always funny as hell.  That night was like four lifetimes ago for me.

Music.  Love it, love it, and anyone else who does I hope can appreciate that fact that I still have every ticket stub to every concert I’ve ever been too.
