I take it there are a lot of pissed off HBO subscribers out there today. Don’t count me in with that crowd – I thought the ending was perfect. That final scene had me jumping over every person that came in through the door, everybody seemed like the one that would be there to pull the trigger…a moment for us to jump inside and get a taste of the day to day anxiety, the terror. This is the life of Tony Soprano, and the source of all his mental ills. The family is in tact, but a blow of the wind this way or that way could send it all crashing down. David Chase…what a masterpiece!
(source) These stories, in real life, don’t end with the boss escaping murder or jail too often. Those at the top get shit on and tossed out like garbage. The next day, whatever vermin is left on the street simply go about feeding like nothing ever happened. Tony has known this since he first got into it as a kid, and his panic attacks are a direct result of knowing all too well how the story must end.

Fantastic! Thanks Al!
My pleasure – – – Had you in mind when I decided to embed these. You’ve got to hit me up and relay some details on your new girlfriend. Max & Sam say hi!
Yeah, I hope I don’t fuck it up. I have been working too much recently, and before I know it, it’s been nearly two weeks.
Going from alone to relationship is like going on a program of sorts. Once you’re immersed within the program, time goes from real to abstract, as your mind is no longer interested. Pleasure and happiness replace whatever it was that kept tabs on frivolous mendacity.
