• Not that I order a lot of packages, but I like the idea of entering my UPS tracking number into The Google and being able to track it from there.
• “Never trust a big booty and a smile”
• Lost thoughts are in blue, skip down if you don’t want to read them.
• I noticed hieroglyphs on the temple, which I think is now part of the Orchid.  I recall seeing those hieroglyphs when Locke was in the hatch.  Pic and Pic
  
• I’ve been thinking about Smokey a lot.  I recall from a previous episode Ben was able to summon him from his house.  That was from the episode where his daughter was killed.  Before Danielle killed her companion, he stated that Smokey was a security system.
  
• I would like to know the story on why Danielle Rousseau’s friends seemed to turn on her. That one dude was begging for his life, and then tried to pull the trigger on her.
• In a previous episode we learned that young Ben was attracted to a girl, I wonder if that girl was Charlotte.
• Jin finding his friends was a little too easy I think.
• Ben didn’t lock that donkey wheel thingy is equivalent to leaving the house with the iron on I think.
• You’ve seen that music box before.
• I get a kick when I walk into a room and I see that an entire wall is a dry erase board.  I just think it’s a darn good idea, and I want to stand against it and have someone draw an outline of my body.
• I need new brake pads.
• The course I’m presently teaching deals with personal finance management, and as I’ve mentioned before I teach in an accelerated adult learning program, so the average age of a student is around the mid thirties.  I tend to think a lot of the material is written for and aimed for the typical 18-22 year old college student, and since I have mostly adults in my class I try to skip over a lot of stuff I think they have been exposed to.  But I always find that the background of my students is amazing in that many have not be exposed to what I consider some fundamental areas of personal finance.  For instance, I have one woman in her early 40’s that has never filed her own taxes, has only worked one job all her life, and before she separated from her husband, he was the one that took care of all the finances.
• The Dallas Morning News has an article about the Southwest plane that has the SI Swimsuit cover model on it, but the most enjoyable aspect of it is all the comments.  Here’s a sampling:
  • To everyone who says that this is hypocritical of SW for not letting a scantily clad woman on their flight, they don’t let killer whales on their flights either but no one is complaining about the three Shamu planes.

    Brilliant move, Southwest!

  • as a christian man i find this very offensive. those supple israeli breasts beginning to spill out of her bikini top…. her firm bronzed stomach…. just disgusting and offensive. and those legs… those smooth long legs that just go on and on. i am sickened.
  • It’s perfect.  If the plane has to land in the Hudson, then at least the artwork is appropriately dressed.
• Jon Stewart was brilliant last night.
• I’m really looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning.
• I’ve been eating better and working out quite a bit, but I haven’t seen much progress, but I do feel better overall.  And I can’t believe I just put two buts in that last sentence.
• With the economy stinking it up and corporations are doing what they can to save money, I bet Jerry Jones won’t get anyone to sponsor naming rights for the new stadium.  I bet it will have a generic name, like the Ballpark in Arlington, or maybe even Texas Stadium.
• Friday night will probably be spent watching Thursday night shows recorded on the DVR.
• My DVD’s that I ordered from the Church of the Resurrection that I ordered on Tuesday night came in the mail yesterday.
• I plan on buying top soil soon to level out some of my backyard which has a massive slope.
• I may end up buying a new weed-eater this spring.

• This is all I have time for, so this is probably the only post you get for the rest of the week.
• Wow . . . I have had a lot of crazy comments on BoN over the years.  Some are funny, some are thoughtful, some are offensive and I keep, some are offensive and I delete, but yesterday someone left the craziest comment I have ever had on this little blog.  The comment was on the Street Preacher post I made yesterday.  I’ll let you guess which comment is the one in question.
• This guy really loves bacon salt.  Link
• Yesterday morning I was on the ground floor waiting for an elevator when a female I have never seen before walks up.  Being the gentleman that I am, I allow her to enter the elevator first and then proceeded behind her.  She pressed her floor button, and then said to me, “5th floor, right?”  I was a little shocked, how the heck did she know I was going to the 5th floor?  So I asked her, and she simply said, “You look like a 5th floor kind of guy.”  So I guess I’m easy to read.
• A rare photo of the end of the rainbow is quite amazing if you ask me.  Pic Article
• I’ve been simply amazed by Rev. Adam Hamilton of the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection as of late.  The last sermon of his that I listened to was title When in Conflict with Science or Married to Politics.  He does a beautiful job of explaining how believing in evolution, or science, for that matter doesn’t hinder our faith, but actually strengthens it.  He also discussed how it is perfectly acceptable to be a Christian and be a Democrat or a Republican.  He’s like a total breath of fresh air.
• I’ve always wanted to watch Spinal Tap, but just have never gotten around to it.
• My friend Warren told me about this great headline from Fark the other day, “Live Nation to acquire Ticketmaster for $2.5 billion, plus $700 million in convenience charges.”
• “I am your father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate.”
• I saw Joaquin Phoenix on Letterman last night . . . weird, just weird.  Beyond weird, actually.
• It appears the best way to blow your nose is one nostril at a time.  Article
• The Bruce Springsteen Super Bowl Blog was interesting to read and had some very neat pictures. [Thanks, Warren!]
• The only comment I have on Lost right now is that I was glad to see Smokey make another appearance and WifeGeeding totally didn’t get the Klingon reference.  Give me some time to digest it.
• India to launch cow urine as a soft drink.  Article [Thanks, Darren!]

• Tom Cruise made a movie about Nazis, now it’s Brad Pitt’s turn with the help of Quentin Taratino, so you know it’s going to be violent.  I was checking out the cast in IMDB, and there’s some interesting casting.  Trailer
• I may be part of the blog team at work, but I wasn’t lucky enough to get this assignment.
