Dream Big!




Well, Alison left me...jerk! Jason suggested I retitle the blog All By Myself (On the Island) but I feel like that sounds a bit too much like the title of a Lost episode and I'm one of the few unaddicted fans of that show. Don't worry I have full faith I'll buy them all on DVD at one point and spend a solid few weeks wasting my life devoted to watching every episode. As Juno would say, dream big!...

I had day off today with Lucia and spent the extent of the day getting eatin' alive by bugs, as usual, and shooing away Islanders trying to sell everything from necklaces to fake Armani sunglasses on the beach taking me for a "cruiser" wanting to buy overpriced souvenirs. Well, I did buy a necklace...but hey, it was only $10 and I have to support the economy here, right? Apparently the ninos were going CRAZY today and yesterday was no exception to that. Perhaps their's something in the water here or perhaps Alison carried the small amount of sanity in this place back home with her to Houston..thanks a lot Alison. Let's all hope that tomorrow is a day without screaming, hitting, throwing, slapping, or whining of small children..yet again, dream big-Juno style! Also, on a positive note it looks like the three kids we homeschool are FINALLY going to real school! This will be a huge stress relief for those of us here that teach them as well as a great opportunity for the kids. It's all around great news! Anyhow, I hope all is well back home. Just to keep everyone up to date my new arrival back in the States will be June 21 and then I'm off to Iran from June 29-July 17!

Peace & love,
Naseem

Yea! I get a shout out. Beat that Newton!

Sounds like you had a fun day off. Way to support the economy. You should post a picture of you wearing said necklace.

Don’t waste your time getting invested in LOST. It jumped the shark years ago. Still, I owe Season 1 on DVD so if you ever want to borrow it, just ask.

I concur with Jason. Just wait until the show is over and then wait for the uber-dedicated fansites to publish some sort of timeline. Watch the first five episodes, the last five episodes and five random episodes in between.

Peace exists within you. Use it.

SHUT IT RASCHEN!


Anyway....

I have never figured out why people like LOST. I find the show highly annoying and highly masturbatory on the part of the creators/writers. Boring....

I do concur with Matt ("concur" is the WOTD for this post) in that the LOST uber-dorks will certainly put together different timeline variations on how to best watch/experience the show. Sadly, I can respect that level of attention to detail: that's how I talk about my favorite shows and music. I'm such a nerd...
