LOST series finale - explained

Already seeing massive complaints from people that do not get it.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!

They did not all die when the plane crashed. Everything that happened, happened. The "flash sideways" is a sort of limbo that they go to when they die. Christian Shepard explained it: Not everybody gets there at the same time, but we all die. Jack died next to Vincent in the bamboo after he saved the Island. Hurley and Ben and Desmond are all left on the Island, and Sawyer, Miles, Lapidus, Richard, Claire, and Kate all leave on the plane. They all live after the show ends, but eventually they all find each other in the church when they die and move on together to the afterlife.

No, the whole show wasn't a dream. No they weren't all dead in the beginning. No, the Island wasn't really hell.

Still working on the nursery...

Three quarters of this thing is done now. Just waiting on spring break next week to finish up.

OBAMA SENSE

I'm coining a new phrase: OBAMA SENSE.

It's like common sense, except it is actually the diametric opposite.

For example - spending a shitload of money when you actually have no money, and in fact are in debt up to your eyeballs: it's just OBAMA SENSE, duh!

Or - Having the government take over health care to better manage the nation's welfare, like the massive success we've had with Social Security and Medicaid: It's OBAMA SENSE!

You can use it so many ways. It's just OBAMA SENSE to wear a t-shirt and shorts in a blizzard! Don't stop at a gas station when the fuel light is on! Duh, use some OBAMA SENSE!

Maybe I can get the FUBO guys to buy this idea. :D

Health-care, et. al.

From my response to a forum post elsewhere:

Washington himself cautioned against having political parties for this very reason. My party, your party. It's all BS. They're not your party, they get fed by big business and in turn feed big business. You don't mean squat to them except as a source of income from taxes and a way to get to power. Politicians are swindlers, and you have been swindled if you swallow their Kool-Aid. Democrats and Republicans are Pepsi and Coke. Two similar flavors that are super bad for you that hide behind superb marketing.

If you throw words around like they do in Washington, you have swallowed the bait hook, line, and sinker. Democracy. My ass. This nation has never been, is not now, and will never be a democracy. That's a bullshit, feelgood buzzword the government has been feeding the world.

This healthcare reform isn't about taking care of Americans. This is about controlling things, power, and money.

The war on {INSERT CAUSE HERE} is exactly what Orwell predicted it would be. Rally the nation to our cause! Drugs! Alcohol! Guns! Terrorists! FEAR! The war isn't meant to be won. It's meant to be continuous. And it is.

Bah. Words are worthless at this point. The sheep have long since covered their eyes and ears and started humming the Star Spangled Banner over common sense.

Nursery Work part deux

Nursery Work

It's not really noticeable in the pictures, but the wall is actually a different color now. (Sand instead of off white)

Quick FYI

Calling someone's workplace and leaving a message that implies that they do no work is slander. Should you actually cause that someone to lose their job, you can be sued for slander. That doesn't scare you? Well, think of it this way: If someone is 40, and you cause them to lose a job paying a measly $25k a year that they may have stayed at until retirement at 65, that is a base (25k x 15 years) actual damages suit of $1,125,000. It'll probably be more, assuming the plaintiff's lawyer isn't sleeping through the case, and assuming the judge will also slap you with a nice punitive damage award as well.

Don't have a million bucks sitting around? Don't worry, the court can force you to liquidate most of your assets to pay; including your house, your business, your car, etc.

Maybe you should think about that before acting like a psycho.
