Like most folks, I'm marginally obsessed with Game of Thrones. Falls in line with my personality, really. I have that whole obsessive-compulsive thing going on sometimes.
And by "sometimes" I mean "all the time."
For the record, I'm a late adopter to the show. I didn't even know what Game of Thrones was the first 4 years or so it was on. But, at the behest of a very close friend -- my boy Baba Ganoush* -- I watched episode 9 of season 4 the night it aired a few years back.
I've been hooked since.
The entirety of the series was binge-watched that following week. I've even rewatched the series a few times looking for hints and foreshadowing events I may have missed during initial viewings because, as we all know, the writers are famous for telling you what's going to happen before it actually happens.
[ SIDE NOTE: START ]
Difficult to catch everything the first time around with all that T&A. Shit can get distracting. Especially when it comes to my early season favorite Ros.
#neverforget
Or my girl Melisandre.
I guess it only makes sense a red priestess who can bring people back from the dead has perfect breasts. (Those, of course, can not be pictured here. Use the Google machine if you need to.)
[ SIDE NOTE: END ]
But, despite the beautiful naked woman, engaging story and time invested, I want the series to end.
There, I said it.
Game of Thrones will go down as one of the greatest shows in HBO's history. No question. But I just want to know how it ends already. All the speculating, build up and waiting is exhausting. I need HBO to pull a Netflix and just release the remaining episodes so I can watch them and get on with my life.
Until the spin-offs, of course.

Quick Thinking
-------------------
-- The Founder, a movie currently streaming on Netflix starring Michael Keaton, details how Ray Kroc turned McDonald's into the most successful fast food chain in the world is an interesting watch and taught me a few things.
-- First, he did it by standing on the shoulders of others.
-- Which, sadly, is what the American Dream really is about.
-- Filthy rich, indeed.
-- Second, Mr. Keaton, the Batman I remember most from my youth, looks old.
-- My summer basketball league career came to an end Tuesday night when we lost to the #1 seed in the playoffs.
-- Can't win a game when you gift the opposing team 9 points off free-throws because of technical fouls while arguing over calls with the refs.
-- We lost by 7, btw.
-- I just watched a Bud Light commercial highlighting...wait for it...Drone Racing.
-- As a self-proclaimed nerd, I love how "nerd culture" continues to influence our economic landscape.
-- Speaking of nerd culture, I bet my cousin 2 weeks ago I would let him shave my eyebrows off if a dragon doesn't die during this season of Game of Thrones.
-- If one does, I get free entry into his Fantasy Football League this season.
-- F**K YEAH!
-- I really, really, really hope I'm right
-- And, yes, it still counts as a "death" if the dragon is resurrected by the Night King.
-- The best song you don't know about right now is Rough Soul by Goldlink featuring April George.
-- The hook melody is CRAZY infectious.
-- His little shimmy shake while signing is pretty good, too.
-- Yuh.
