He Has Work To Do...

...and he's trying to get as much of it done as he can!

No, this is not my post about the finale. This is a post to say that I will be posting about the finale. I have grades due tomorrow morning and I still have some correcting to do, which is what I'm up to now. Is it going a lot more slowly since all I can think about is LOST? Absolutely.

I have this other strange thing going on today: I have this urge to not talk about LOST, to throw all of my memorabilia in a box and put it away for awhile. It's not because I didn't like the finale - that will be extremely clear in my actual post: I absolutely loved it, especially after thinking about it so much - it's almost like I can't handle it being over. Which I can't. I am genuinely sad that we will never see our Losties, or discover new Dharma secrets, or set foot on the Island, ever again.

A lot of people, including some of you, have asked for my thoughts, which, number one, is extremely flattering, and two, I will certainly do very soon. There is so much I want to say, so much I want to ask, and it will take me a while. I will probably have more than one post about it, too. I'm also thinking about what's next for this blog, if anything, and I want to talk about that, too.

I just have some things to take care of first (including needing to process "The End" a bit more). Keep checking back...

Namaste

Hey Matt, when you are ready to get some LOST processing, there was a great On Point radio show on NPR about it. You can find it on the internet. Melis

Hey Matt,

Your "congregation" is eagerly but patiently awaiting this post! Can't wait to hear more about what you think, especially after you have had some time to digest. We may watch the finale again soon to see what we missed. I feel like I was so eager to get to the end to get all the answers, that I am not sure that I got even close to everything. - Toniann

Melis, I will certainly check that out!
Toniann, I'm really, really going to try to blow out all my thoughts tonight. I have about 20 sticky notes when I randomly thought of something or heard something on a podcast that I liked and wrote down. Let's see if I can get it done tonight!
It won't be the last one, though, don't worry! I'll will be updating well into the future - and I've still only watched it once!

P.S. Did you notice the new title? That should give you an indication that this blog is not over :)

Aaaaaaand, if you want a sneak peek at some other things coming your way, dear "congregation":

It's still being tweaked, but you'll get the gist.
