Zarf

Yesterday, my niece was in the kitchen with me when she asked me what first comes to mind when someone says the word Christmas. I said Santa Claus, she promptly said "Santa's not real!!" Oh how we have become a cynical of everything and everyone around us, not that we don't have a reason to, but sometimes I shake my head in sadness because of our cynical way of thinking, we don't see the beauty in things.

Like Zarf, when I heard that AMC were going to introduce the character that was on for about a minute this summer and make him transgendered, the cynical part of me jumped up for good reason. AMC had horrible storylines like Josh the aborted fetus, Greg Madden buried and tortured and Babe cheating for the umpteenth time; I was waiting for this storyline to fall flat on its behind but something happened that I didn't expect: I began to like the character Zarf, he's interesting and unique. Something that is a breath of fresh air for soaps, the actor Jeffrey Carlson has done a good job so far of portraying an international rock star who is androgynous and who is very unique and is not afraid to show it.

So much for cynical nature.
