Crazy

I made you crazy

I drove a man crazy

and yet I dont know how I made him crazy

it wasnt fair for him to be crazy

Im sorry for making you crazy

I wish I could take your place and I be crazy

tell me a way show me a way and make me crazy

my heart hurts cause I made my friend crazy

Please change I dont want you to be crazy

Someone help him, help him, he's crazy

take away his pain that made him crazy

I dont like how I made him crazy

I didnt do it on purpose, I didnt even know I was making him crazy

I wish I could take it all back and he leave me crazy

Polar Bear Poop -- Got It!

It occurred to me - and I may be well off course here - but people come to the island in one of three ways. First - you are from the Island, Second someone causes a time disruption and you crash there, or Third one of the Island folk hires you to go there.

And with this in mind it seems like a lot of folks have ties to the Others even if they crashed there or were hired. Ben and his Dad, Claire, Jack and their father, Miles and his Dad.

I also remember way back that Kate, all she had of her Dad was an little airplane.

Hurley got there by following numbers from a crazy guy who heard them during WW2.

And what is with Juliette being brought there to help baby's to be born? Since we went back in time there were lots of baby's connected to the Island. And some of those were conceived on the Island too.

And wasn't Claire told to raise her own baby?

What happened to Rose and her husband?

Welcome back Faraday.

Two down

I finished reading my second book of the year. I am only reading a chapter a night and only about 5 nights a week so its taken a little while. (In addition to the 30 plus magazines I read, scan, and review each month.)

I enjoy reading and I had slowed down quite a bit lately. I had to rearrange things (like my chair), get a new light and recover my reading blanket.

It is amazing how bad the eyes get as you grow old. I need reading glasses (only 1.5x) and light. I find myself getting up and walking over to a window or lamp just so I can see the words (Glossy paper is the worse). Where is sit in a meeting, at church, and conferences is all dictated by light. You think you were not allowed to make notes in some conferences the lights are so low.

"I am at a education conference not a play! Turn up the house lights! "

I think I can get 6 this year. Anyway I am trying.

Oh - What did I read?

The first book is 'Beautiful Evidence' by Edward Tufte. I was given this book as a gift for doing a present ion at the Georgia HIMSS meeting. Very interesting; about how data and information is presented in print. He has numerous good and bad examples. The failure of Challenger and the PowerPoint they used and why it failed to to communicate the danger. The excellent diagram of Napoleon's march to Moscow and the death of his Army. The book is marvelous especially the way the book was printed and bound - I guess he had to have an example of what he was preaching.

The second book is 'An Approach to the Book of Mormon' by Hugh Nibley. The level of presentation is very high, graduate level at least and it is amazing how the English language has change in style since the 1940's and 50's. I liked his comment toward the end on how people accept things without full knowledge. He states "even a schoolboy from a previous generation would have known." Americans do not have nearly the depth of knowledge as our ancestors did, even one or two generations back. We have become lazy.

Okay so now I am on to my third book of the year - 'Man His Origin and Destiny' by Joseph Fielding Smith. I have 4 more books waiting in the queue.

Hmmmm - quite reading time.

Even on the Island Dead is Dead

"I have never seen the Island do this before."

"Tell Desmond I am sorry."

"You will do everything Locke tells you to do."

"Is that what Jacob wanted?"

So some folks cannot come back and some cannot?

There are rules?

Who made these rules and where did I agree to them?

And what would these rules be?

.

.

Arrrggggg - They be more like guidelines then rules.

Spring Flowers

I walked out of the IGA and was walking to the truck, I stopped.
The air was sweet and full of Wisteria.
I smiled.

Then as I drove into my driveway I smiled again.

My fruit trees have done wonderful.

I looked out the window and what did I see?

Popcorn popping on the apricot tree!

Spring has brought me such a nice surprise

Blossoms popping right before my eyes

I could take an armful and make a treat

A popcorn ball that would be so sweet

It wasn’t really so, but it seemed to be

Popcorn popping on the apricot tree!

SpaceTime

So if I am in the past its not really my past because its my future but it is their past because this is their present, my past is really before their present, then anything I do now in my present will impact my past but not my future because their present is also my future and I cannot change my past, their present, but it requires me to do everything I did before, now in my future, their past so their future will be like my past is supposed to be.

Huh? Dude where is Faraday?

Want a bite?
