Breaking Bad: "Pilot"






  The first episode of Breaking Bad was very interesting. I actually enjoyed the episode, at first it was weird and confusing. However, it cam with a lot of laughs.

.....

    When it comes to Walter and he's brother-in-law, one is tough while the other is just brains. Especially Walter's dressing he dresses like an old "uncool" man. He just has a comfort box that he wont go out of.
      
......

     Acceptable masculine traits would be Walter's brother-in-law the police officer & the gang that Jesse brought to the RV. They would be acceptable because they are very tough, hard, doesn't take any ish from anybody. Also they are very violent. However, Walter would not be acceptable because he is more brains than fist.
.....

      How I looked at the episode, this is all because Walter needs funds for his cancer treatment and for the unborn baby that he is expecting. But near the end of the episode it seem that he is taking a new way to look at the world. He is literally Breaking Bad.

Crapalachia

Death, Demons & Darkness

               After reading the pages of Crapalachia, it gave me a sense of death and darkness. Uncle Grover suffered from depression and schizophrenia. That put a toll on the family, instead of being him to a hospital or a mental center they performed an exorcise. Which was very strangle to me, I understand that religion is very important. However, this man need serious medical help. Nevertheless, after understanding what's going on with Uncle Grover. I find out that there's a lot of death that follows including suicide. 

...... 

                In my family this story connects to my grandfather. He suffered from alzheimer's but he recently died just about a year ago. But we all knew something was wrong with him, just never did any about it. Since my mom is a nurse she knew more into his disease but didn't think it was as bad. Until he ran away one day; and didn't know where he was. Until he was found in Virginia while we were living in Pennsylvania. 

......

                We are a very religious family but we knew that we couldn't handle him in a household like ours. So we put him in a mental hospital, until he later then died. This just connected to my family because of the simple fact he was living with something that he need to be with special attention.
