Random Thursday Morning Thoughts

• I get confused by housing news because of all the variables: New/Existing/New Construction/Local/Nationwide/Monthly/Quarterly.
• Had a couple of cavities filled yesterday but, once the novocaine (?) wore off, I was in excruciating pain for two hours. I mean, it was a I-can't-do-anything-but-try-to-stay-still-and-I-may-die kind of pain. Then it simply went away.
• I thought about Tom Hanks' character in Cast Away where he knocks a bad tooth out with an ice skate blade in order to stop the pain. I finally understood.
• Whenever I'm sick or suffer an injury, I realize it is my health that I value above everything else.
• I keep hearing the phrase "tipping point."
• Three black bear cubs are orphaned in Wyoming and end up in Boyd?
• Crazy thought: If I could suddenly be 18 years old, speak English first but be fluent in Spanish, look like Antonio Banderas, and know what I know now, I'd be President before I was 40.
• I splurged and ordered the new iPhone 3G S. It should arrive tomorrow.
• This dress is showing up on a variety of celebrity babes. I support this.
• If I could time travel, it would be simple to accumulate money by sports gambling and stock trading since I would know what was going to happen.
• Scanned the channels last night and found the NCAA National Women's Rugby Championship on EPSNU. I didn't even know the sport existed. Tough women. Crazy, tough women.
• I love maps. Especially looking at them after going somewhere I was unfamiliar with.
• I continue to shake my head about how the cartoon character that is Mark Levin has a book that remains at the top of best seller list.
• I have this weird feeling I'm going to win the lotto some day. But that's hard to do since I play it about two times a year.
• Cheaters is full of bad acting. And I went to law school with the executive producer who acted like he was starring in his own movie every time I saw him. Funny, but obnoxious.
• If it wasn't for football season, I think I'd be perfectly happy without TV as long as I had high speed Internet. I could watch whatever I wanted on Hulu.com and have my movie urge satisfied easily thought Netflix.
• Update from yesterday's Random Thoughts about how motorcycle deaths had suddenly stopped: There was a motorcycle death yesterday afternoon. (I saw the link but can't find it now.)
• Update #2 from yesterday's Random Thoughts: Now they are looking for a second body in Lake Lewisville.
• I pointed out the crazy fact that Wise County has the State's youngest mayor (Chic0) and probably the oldest council person (Newark) about two weeks ago. This week the Messenger makes it their front page story.
• Sixty year old Billy Joel and his 27 year old wife are getting divorced. That's understandable. She's just not the vibrant 22 year old she was when they married. Poor guy.
