My Boyfriends are Back!

I can't tell you how excited I am that the boys from the Deadliest Catch are coming back on tomorrow night! It's been a long couple of months without them, and I've been going through withdrawals. Thank goodness the Discovery Channel has been playing reruns from seasons past.

I love pretty much everything about this show, from the opening song - Bon Jovi's "Dead or Alive" to the narrator (one of my very favorite celebrity boyfriends - Mike Rowe) to all of the boys on the boats. Of course I use the term "boys" very loosely here....these men are AWESOME! Each and every one of them is an extremely hard worker and busts his @ss every day on the job, working incredibly long hours, in some of the most hellacious weather conditions ever! Out in the middle of the Bering Sea, fighting rain, sleet, snow, crushing waves- you name it, these guys work through it! And all in the name of crab fishing. I know it may sound strange to be completely enthralled with a show about crab fisherman, and how many pounds of crab they pull up in each pot, but this show is much more than that. It's about real people, doing a really tough job, facing life and death situations on nearly every episode, and how all of these individuals come together to form the crews of these boats. It's fascinating I tell ya! I LOVE it!

Welcome back Sig, Phil, John, Andy, Edgar, Matt, Jake, Greg, Keith, Josh and all the rest of the crews from the Northwestern, Wizard, Cornelia Marie, Time Bandit, Maverick, Farwest Leader and Early Dawn...to name a few. I've missed you!
