That does it - I am out !

So I've started watching Dexter.  I am well aware that this is a naughty HBO show with cussing and boobie so keep your gasps and disappointed faces to yourself!  And I quote - "You knew what I was when you picked me up."

Tonight I will begin Season 4.  For those of you who are good boys and girls and unfamiliar with Dexter, it is a show where the main character, Dexter, is a serial killer.  But he only kills bad guys.  Like a good serial killer - getting rid of the bad guys that slip thru the cracks of the system.  The big "thing" is that Dexter is super likeable, even though he has no feelings, or so he says (he's got them).  And you feel bad for him because when he was a wee little Dex some drug dealers chopped up his mother with a chainsaw in front of him while he was locked in a shipping container and he wasn't found for a couple days, so he was trapped in a shipping container for days sitting in a pool of blood 2 inches thick - so you kind of understand why he is all jacked and goes around killing bad guys.  Now with that being said, I'm gonna go ahead and tell you it's a great show and a funny show with lots of likeable characters.  I promise.  Anyways...getting to the point of this blog entry...

At the end of season 3, Dexter gets married because his girlfriend Rita is pregnant - Rita of course doesn't know about the serial killing of course.  And the wedding is all blissful and happy and everything is all giggles and kisses.  Dexter is great and very loving to Rita's 2 kids from a previous marriage, etc.  I'm tell you all this because as I watch this show, and see how likeable Dexter is, and how much people in his life love him, I am becoming more and more and more set on NEVER GETTING MARRIED! 

Nice guy serial killers and nice guy wack-jobs - that's all that's left out there!  And if they are not self confessed serial killers and wack-jobs, then how do you know for sure...how do you make sure you are not RITA!!??  Go ahead, if you are married, ask yourself - "Am I Rita?"  How do you know for sure you are not?  To pass the Dexter test, check the air conditioner and make sure he doesn't have a hidden wooden box of microscope slides with drops of blood as "trophies".  Does your spouse have any collections?  What do they collect?  Anything that could be considered a "trophy" from a kill?  I personally use to collect Barry Manilow vinyl records but easily gave them up for the move to Seattle.  Does your loved one have a collection that's not easily left behind???  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! 

I refuse to have a serial killer father my children.  It's just something I'm not willing to bend on.  Just another reason, I'M OUT!
