Well for starters I am a 21 year old college student. I love to have fun and experience all that life has to offer. I love to cook, even though I am not very good yet. I love the beach, warm weather, my puppy, mac & cheese and running. Right now I am in Spain and I love it here.

Dexter
How do I feel about Dexter? To be honest I am really confused about my emotions toward the popular showtime show, Dexter. While the show has an addictive quality, it also has a gross factor. I am not sure how I feel about watching a "taking out the trash" serial killer murder other, more deserving serial killers. Nonetheless, the show is addicting. It isn't your regular crime fighting show. There isn't a murder solved every episode, with men in glasses talking in deep voices always stating the obvious. There is a plot, a story line that creates an addiction, DEXTERITIS. There are the bad guys that the viewer hopes that either the police or Dexter gets ahold of, then there is the "good" serial killer Dexter. It is strange to me the amount of empathy and approval that I, as the viewer, have of Dexter. It really makes me question just what is right and wrong. Is it wrong to kill a murderer to prevent them from killing more innocent people? Is it ok? Is he acting in the best interests of the community? While I do not have any of the answers to these questions, they still fascinate me all the same.
