All roads lead to Jasper, Alabama

Couple of things in no order ........
LOST is nearing its season end and I have to admit its been pretty damn good .....Each week that goes by brings more answers ....but it also brings more questions. Its kinda like this ..."Oh we now know why everyones ears are larger on the island" but then we get new questions like these ...." Why are the pie plates all yellow?" and "How much wood COULD a woodchuck chuck IF HE REALLY COULD, FRIGGIN CHUCK WOOD????????????????" If you are a fan of the show you know what I mean by all this....
You see ,I have finally decided that LOST is an enigma ...a conundrum....or maybe an enigma wrapped in a conundrum but anyway you look it it makes for good television but I will be glad to see the season end and allow us to have a little break......for good measure let me say HOLLA to Jasper, Alabama .
It's May .....May! Next Friday is my Brothers 37 birthday.....Then on Sunday its Mothers Day ...Then on the 17 my Nana will be 87 years .....Several other friends have also have bdays this month. Its a good month!
I want to make homemade ice cream on the back porch .....In a large hand crank freezer ...Maybe mix in some strawberries or peaches. Dang that sounds good!
For the past few weeks I have been rewatching THE WEST WING. Just when Nick decided to take a break I pick up the habit . Its like going to bed with old friends.....and thats what she said!!!!
Now here is a real suprise ....I kinda want to go to the beach .....have a cool mojito or maybe some sangria and just sit and relax....I am sure this will pass because I will soon remember that I dont dig the beach....Its do crowded, hot, sandy, YUCH.
After seeing President Clinton in Bham a few weeks back it makes me want to get more involved with politics. Work on a local level maybe ....help, actually help get someone elected....Help get folks interested in the process again..... It is sad to think that more young people vote for American Idol than will for the Presidential election in November 2008!
When will we start saying the year as "TWENTY OH SEVEN " instead of "TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN" Does that even make sense as to what I am talking about???
Why did it only take about one year to build the Pentagon and the Empire State Building and yet it will take until 2012 or so to finish the new World Trade Center area in NYC??
Why have we not rioted in the streets because of high gas prices? Because we are whores to our automobiles .....
I want to buy organic food but dang its expensive......
Its hard to believe that in a country as rich as the USA we still have 44 millionAmericans without any type of heath insurance and that number includes almost 7 million children or people under the age of 18. Crazy. Cant we do better ?
Would a timeline for a pullout in Iraq really be the end of the world ? Does anyone with an ounce of free thought really think that the minute we leave ,regardless of when that is , is really going to matter. Maybe I think to simple about things ....
Teddy Rooselvelt once said " Its not what America has that makes it great, Its what we do with it that makes us great"
