    Last week during a horrendously painful sick vacation, I was able to watch Girls for the first time.  I will be honest and say that I had to force myself into the second episode.  The show came off as what I would imagine a group of women on  a crack binge having a spur of the moment Hipster photo shoot would be like.   But I forced myself into the second episode which led a bit easier into the third and all of a sudden it happened.
     I began to relate to the girls.  Not because I too am a 20 something hipster living in this make believe New York, in fact I am 34 and have never been to New York.  But I have met each and every one of these "girls" at some point in my life and I have partook in skewed versions of several of these realities.   I think it's an interesting show to watch, if for even just one or two episodes.  Remember your 20's, your mistakes, and all of your delusions, and pick which girl most represents you either in the present or in your past.
