Saturday wisdom

Saturday's alright for fighting.

A roller skating jam called "Saturdays".

Saturday in the park.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night!

A Devout Wish

I breathed in.
I couldn’t get enough air.
I coughed through the hitch in my throat.

I tried again,
A deep breath that didn’t satisfy.
I hacked in rhythm to a steel drum beat.

A third time still.
I, my lungs to bursting, filled.
It came rushing out in an ineffectual breeze.

The birthday candles stayed lit.


-A poem dedicated to all those of my friends and family who have a birthday in July.

Lost Flashbacks/Flash Forwards Guide Season 5

For this season, I decided to link the flashback comments thematically, so they all are either song titles or lyrics:

-1 Six (We're not going back!)
-2 The Treacherous Three (Shot with his own gun!)
-3 Desmond (We're a happy family! Me, Mom and Daddy!)
-4 Six (I don't want to go back empty-handed.)
-5 Six (Baby, don't you want to go?)
-6 Six (I can't believe it!)
-7 Locke (Recruiting soldiers)
-8 Sawyer (New sheriff in town.)
-9 Everyone (One of us! We accept you! One of us!)
-10 Sayid (Why can't we be friends?)
-11 Kate (Girl power!)
-12 Ben (Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter.)
-13 Miles (Father of mine)
-14 Daniel (Cry-y-in' over you!)
-15 No one (Wayback Machine Brain Freeze)
-16 Jacob (Touching me, touching you)

The person to identify all the artists in the comments gets the most perfect little no-prize that you'll never see.
