Singing Soprano

Yes, dear reader, I have a flaw. Gasp! I know... I know. Your are shocked by my royal confession, but since I'm not Catholic- I have no confessional booth. I am using this time to confess. I love Tony Soprano.

I cannot explain the attraction. It is beyond description, but knowing my need to express myself both orally and with written word, I will attempt the impossible. My attraction to Tony I think stems from the fact that he's a bad guy who wants to do good, but he keeps falling back on what he knows... his old behaviors. They work for him, most of the time. He thinks he's doing the right thing for the right reason, but let's face it ... wacking people is never the right thing for the right reason... unless you're Tony.

He is brutal, ruthless, prideful, arrogant, bossy, loving, lusty, vunerable and a host of other things. I think he has surpassed (dare I say it?) The Godfather. There. It's out. I admit it. I am singing Soprano! I don't advocate watching the show due to violence, sex, murder, mayhem... all things I should stay away from. But, every now and then, I sneak a peak at my favorite mob boss. Dear Tony.

One day he will rest with the fishes.
