Geek Filled Friday Night

As a self-proclaimed geek, would you be expecting anything less?
Okay, so let me preface this by saying that 9/24/10 was actually the 17th anniversary of my first date with my wife. We’ve been married now for over 10 years and I’ve now been with her for half of my wife.
Now that being said, she spent our anniversary asleep early, trying to beat the cold her students give her at the beginning of every school year - and I spent it in front of the television for the only two shows that I watch on the CW - Smallville & Supernatural.

When I was a kid, summer seemed like it would last forever, but August would come around and inevitably that feeling of “it’s not long enough” would creep in. The month would start off great with my birthday - then later in the month my brother and I would spend a couple weeks with our grandparents at the beach. Before you know it - the dreaded September was right around the corner and it was back to school for us.
But as I’ve grown older, and ultimately more geeky, I’ve come to embrace September. Sure, I love lounging in a pool with a book as much as the next guy, but now that I am a working stiff summer doesn’t have the same impact as it used it. Now, I realize that September is the month that excites me the most (barring December of course) and that is for three reasons. One, the weather cools down. Two - FOOTBALL! And Three…..
The new season of television is finally upon us!

Ah, the Supernatural season finale. I know two things are for certain. First, we’re going to be left with some kind of cool cliffhanger. Second, we’re going to start off with “Carry On My Wayward Son” by Kansas.

I wanted to talk a little about this episode before the we get to Thursday and the next one airs.
