Ten Humble Thoughts

 1.  I seem to 'cringe' an awful lot.  Meaning? I'll be watching some news program, and some idiot will say something that makes me think they are mentally ill, or dosing up on some nifty drugs.  I won't even hit mute....because I'd  like to see what else they might say in crazy-talk.

2.  It's just odd....when you have someone doing BOLD talk over misinformation...if you just halt the talk or a minute and ask 'what is a woman'....the misinformation chatter will halt the conversation.  

3.  If you asked Kamala Harris why clouds move....she'd likely respond: 'I grew up in a middle-class household'.  

4.  Eventually....some American guy who speaks Spanish well...will walk into Mexico legally....re-enter the US illegally, get caught, and be integrated into Homeland Security's database as 'Juan Sanchez'.  He'll get a $10k credit card....get a bus ride to New York City, and sit in a $200 a night hotel for a month.   The story will be made into a HBO series, and shock people how easy it was.  He'll eventually go through a English-language school....get hired at minimum wage....live in a house with sixteen other migrants, and vote illegally under the name of Juan Sanchez.  

5.  With each week that passes since Joe Biden dropped out of the race....he seems more sane and competent.  Was he drugged-up for the past four years?

6.  It seems like half the sixteen year old kids in America....are hyped up about 'rights'.  

7.  I read this week....the vacation trend for 2025....appears to be 'sense of adventure'.  Meaning?  Trekking off into the jungles of Peru.....spending two weeks in a Vienna ballroom dancing school....or spending a week  on the streets of San Francisco. 

8.  Selling Twitter off to Elon, was the biggest mistake ever for the Democratic Party.  

10.  Seventy-two-percent of Gen Z females were polled and said  "mental illness is an important part of my identity."

I paused over this for several minutes.  They are in some form....happy over their mental illness and admit it without any hesitation.

Could you....as a boss go out and hire such a person....even if to sell pet supplies?

'Lost' Revisited

 About two weeks ago, I started re-watching 'Lost' (the TV series).  I'm about half-way through season one at present.   Ten comments:

1.  I finished off 'Lost' in 2010, and haven't watched it since.   To be honest, I was rather disgruntled by season five  and six. Seasons one through four?  It was probably the best written series that TV ever produced.   

2.  My heroes of the series?  Mostly Hurley, Mister Ecko, and Desmond. 

3.  This whole time-travel gimmick, flash-forward, flash-sideways and hell-versus-heaven  concept?  It failed in the end.

4.  How Hurley survived on the island....never losing weight?  I kept coming back to this key point.

5.  'Little Smokey'?  It made no sense.

6.  Doctor Artz...the high school science teacher?  The guy who got blown up after showing up in one single episode?  I kept thinking....what if he'd survived and been around at the end.

7.  Selling me on polar bears on the island?  It didn't work.

8.  Too many characters with speaking parts?  This was a big negative to me.  Through the six seasons....there must be at least a thousand characters.

9.  Too many 'hints'?  Per each episode....I'd say you got at least 15 serious 'hints', and at least half of them....in the end....meant nothing (just added to make the show 'juicy').

10.  Finally....in the end to counter the evil 'John Locke'.....I would have preferred Mister Ecko to pick up the task (instead of Jack).
