Wow.....Just Wow....

Just a quick update for those of you who actually read this:
Last night's episode of Bones was the most evocative episode of TV I have ever seen. I was literally blown away. Ask my roommates, I couldn't stop talking about it. Which is funny, considering that when it was over, I literally had no words.
Without going into any details, I'll just say that it pinpointed the painful feelings associated with the situation of many single people. "Why don't [they] want what I'm offering?" It was so poignant, and I found myself in tears. Who hasn't felt that? Who hasn't wished that they could find someone who wanted what we offer, all of us, the good and the bad, the whole package, flaws, quirks, and all? Who hasn't been disappointed by a lack of interest or a relationship that wasn't what it appeared or a person who was built up to perfection in our minds only to wake up and find that we never knew them at all? Who hasn't wanted, if just for one day or night, to forget it all and not feel anything? And it led me to ask myself this question: how many amazing people, such as this character [who ANY woman should want to be with if they have any brains or a heart at all], are sitting alone this weekend and wondering those very same things?
It examined the human heart with more pinpoint accuracy than I ever expected it to. I know I'm being overly analytical and sentimental and it's probably ridiculous and pathetic on far too many levels for comfort, but it really struck me. I don't think it'll be leaving my mind anytime soon, either. So a MAJOR shout out to the creator of Bones, Hart Hanson, to the writers, the producers, and, most especially, to David Boreanaz for the most amazing 15 minutes of TV I have ever seen. Truly a beautiful and touching performance.
Happy Valentine's Day to you all, lovers and loners alike.

I concur with everything you said Becky. And if you find out who to send a fruit basket to, let me know and I'll go half on it with you! I am hoping to see the movie this coming week!
