Me in my original, ratty Lost shirt and my beloved blu-ray set of the series |
Before I
babble on about more Lost mumbo
jumbo, I feel that I should explain the extent of my fandom. On September 22,
2004, the obsession began. Since day one, I have loved the show. I wasn't one
of those people who started watching halfway in, and then went back to catch
up. I am proud to say that I've been Lost since
the first day.
My obsession in the show went to a
new level in 2007 when I bought my first shirt from the online Lost store. 4 8 15 16 23 42 read across
the front. I liked the show so much that I had decided to wear my "Lost
shirt" every Wednesday (because that was that day of the week that the
show was usually on). That shirt and I went through everything together. When
the show would move to a different day of the week, I would wear my shirt that
day.
Not more than a year after I buying
my shirt, my sister accidentally spilled bleach on the front and back giving my
black shirt a nice big red stain. Even though my sister told me she would buy
me another shirt, I didn't really care because the red stain actually looked
kinda cool.
Over the years, holes infested my
shirt, one by one. While running on a hot day, I took my shirt off only to rip
the back of my shirt almost beyond repair. Because of the massive rip, I was
forced to take a hiatus from wearing the shirt. While Grandma was still able to
sew it back up, I decided to hang up the shirt for good. Luckily my sister kept
to her word and bought me another identical shirt to make for the other one.
This video is an xfinity commercial that parodies off the song "All I Have to Do is Dream" by the Everly Brothers. At the end of the commercial, they use clips from Lost saying that if you want to watch the show, all you have to do is stream, stream, stream, and it will show up on your TV. This commercial reminds me that when I miss Lost, all i have to do is turn on my TV and pop in the blu-ray discs and watch it. It's that simple. "Whenever I want you, all I have to do is dreeeeeam."
That is major commitment to a show!
