My Intentions

As this is the first post, I thought I would state my intentions, as they were, and to introduce myself a little, so you can see where I am coming from.

This blog will constantly be changing and evolving. I don't like to stick to one subject, so Ode to Deadliest Catch will be a menagerie of different things, thoughts on the captains and crews, reviews of the shows, and hopefully (crossing my fingers), I will be able to keep you updated on the different appearances and/or signings involving the Deadliest Catch captains.

I hate dwelling on bad things, so this is going to be my first, last, and only thought on the death of Captain Phil Harris: it's too soon. He will be mourned and missed, and I must admit to being hesitant to watch season 7 when it starts. It won't be the same. Captain Phil was, is, my favorite captain on Deadliest Catch, and I admired his devil-may-care attitude and the way he was up front and honest with everyone, even, no, especially, his sons.

My past regarding Deadliest Catch has been sketchy to say the least, up until February. I had caught different episodes and I adored the show, but at the time, I didn't have cable or satellite TV, so I could only watch DC when I stole my mother's TV remote at her house. Not exactly the best viewing opportunities to be sure. But as I said, in February, I gained access to satellite TV and fell in love all over again with Deadliest Catch, and I immediately bought seasons 1-5, locked myself in my house, and had a marathon.

I got my friend Aidin stuck on the show, much to her amazement. She thought I was crazy for being entranced by crab pots and fish-smelling men, but as soon as she sat with me to watch season 4, she was just as riveted as I was.

So now Aidin will be my helper on this blog, doing a lot of video researching and maybe a blog of her own every now and then, but we mostly will be collaborating together on each post.

The timing with this blog will not be planned. Whenever I have a thought, I tend to write it down, pour over it, research it, try to find appropriate pictures or videos, and then post it. It takes time. But I do have a few Spots planned for this blog: Hottie of the Week (yes, Aidin and I have fave DC men, but we won't exclude anyone, for any reason), Best Quotes, Upcoming Appearances, and whatever else my sick and twisted mind can come up with.

If you have any questions, comments, complaints, or ideas, please feel free to email me at crazddreamer@hotmail.com.

Oh, and one last thing, this is NOT a personal blog. I already have one of those, and so does Aidin. Our intentions are to keep this blog focused solely on Deadliest Catch. I can promise you to keep the fangirling, swooning, and drooling to a minimum.

Enjoy your stay and I hope you come back...
