I think that there should be a new law passed that simply states that there can only be one vampire show on television at a time. If you like, that law can be amended to state that as long as True Blood is on (and as long as it is good and doesn’t turn into some crappy shadow of itself) that no other vampire are allowed over the airwaves.

You can’t take a leak without hitting a new vampire show these days. That, or movies. There should already be some sort of law against any additional Twilight movies.

Know what makes True Blood great? Blood, gore and sex. That is exactly what makes Twilight lame. There is none of that. And truthfully, that is what is going to make The Gates, a new series on ABC lame. You just can’t be faithful to the vampire m.o. on network television and/or a PG rating.

Dwelling on mistakes isn’t any way to make progress.

And because of my upbringing, I tend to carry a lot of guilt around. Recently a friend of mine wondered if I was catholic, which was actually pretty funny. I guess catholics carry guilt? I grew up non-denominational so I wouldn’t know.

In any event, that’s really all I meant — I know, super vague, right?

I have had a lot of really disparate thoughts recently – anything from the moon and space, politics and health care, agency vs freelancers, the fear of dying and why I shouldn’t really be scared of it, True Blood and whether or not a world with vampires would be exciting, among other things.

I’d really love to write on all of them. Sometimes, I then think about how my blog is totally a dumping ground for random crap. Should I try to make this site a little more focused? Don’t know. Is this site the Seinfeld of blogs? Thats an interesting thought.

A-ha! See what I did there? Yeah, so I am not really fan of True Blood so far. I’ve only watched one episode, but it did not grab me like recent shows I’ve seen (Weeds).

True Blood comes with the highest recommendations from people I respect – my coworker and yogurt buddy Cori, as well as my hair stylist Dorene.

I think the premise is really, really interesting. A company finds a way to synthesize and market a drink called True Blood which gives vampires the ability to satisfy their cravings without having to kill everyone.

The problem with the show (and I know, this will sound very very picky) is that I thought by moving out to Phoenix (by way of Savannah GA) I would have escaped southern, hillbilly accents. True Blood gave me nightmares, but not ones where I was being savaged by the undead. Visions of a truck stop with a bunch of good ole’ boys is what had me waking up in a cold sweat. My friends, thats no easy feat when it is 99 degrees at 1am where I live.

I’ve been told that the show picks up after the first episode, so I’m willing to give this thing a shot. However, they better move out of Louisiana soon or I might bite myself in the neck!
