What We Know "The Incident" LOST Season 5 finale recap.

Wow, LOST Season 5 is a wrap. here's some stuff I picked up on from the show.



1. Jacob is real and has influenced or "touched" the [at least some of the] 815ers lives in their past.

2. John's body was in the box. and John from season 5 was not really john but Jacobs nemesis.

3. The statue has a room in it. where Jacob lives.

4. Rose & Bernard were living in peace in the jungle with Vincent since the flash to 1974.

5. Jacob's cabin, sort of looked like Rose & Bernards hut

6. Someone, Jacob or Bocaj was being held captive by the circle of ash around the cabin but escaped.

7. Ben lies. "that's what I do" and admitted that he was "pretending" that Jacob was there in the cabin with Locke.

8. Sun & Jin are still not reunited.

9. Pierre Chang lost his arm in the "incident" at the Swan. (but apparently lived on to make the orientation video where we see him with one arm ... how does this fit with the time line of the Orchid video where he has 2 arms?)

10. We still dont know who was in the other outrigger shooting at Sawyer, Jules etc.

11. Lapidus might be a candidate.

12. Apollo bars are available off of the island.

13. They end up blowing the nuke on the swan and Juliette is probably dead.

14. Jacob also visited Illana off island.

15. Richard knows "what lies in the shadow of the statue" roughly translated from Latin to "the one who will save us"

16. Phil was impaled in the incident. Many Dharma were lost that day. The true aftermath is unknown.

17. The Others (Hostiles) had access to Dharmaville via the tunnels under the village. But chose to not attack them.

18. Hurley got the Guitar case from Jacob. It would seem Jacob was trying to help recreate 815, like Hawking wanted. Making Hurley a proxy for Charlie.

19. Temple music sounds like Indiana Jones music.

20. The statue has a monster head with crazy teeth. Possibly Egyptian God Sobek. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sobek

21. Jacob brought John back to life after he was pushed out of the window. (Abadon was his nurse, did Widmore know he was saved by Jacob?)

22. A man tells Jacob he wants to kill him while the Black Rock sits off the coast of the island. He needs to find a "loophole" in order to kill jacob.

23. When Jack told the "count to 5" story to Kate in season 1, he conveniently forgot to mention that the idea came from his father.

24.Jacob speaks several languages quite well.

25. Jacobs encounter with Sayid supports the idea that he was trying to get the O6 back to the island. (him in cuffs as a proxy for Kate suggests Illana knew also, possibly via Jacob.)
see #18

26. Miles' theory may have been correct in that the incident was them setting off the bomb, and everything that's happened still happens. see #9.

27. Illana's group claimed to be "the good guys"

28. Sun's longing for finding her lost love, Jin may have been set up to be a proxy for Sayid who, on 815 was hoping to be reunited with Nadia. see #18

I'm sure there's more I forgot.

Season 6 will be the final season of Lost. I hope they wrap it up nicely.

Tuesday special.

Barry Zito's twitter yesterday "Manny's out for 50 days, time for the Giants to capitalize!"

Go Giants!

RIP Dom Deluise. thanks for the laughs.

Indian buffet. delicious!

Round Table vs Round Table vs Me

I just got a call from Round Table Pizza, regarding the complaint I filed via their on-line comment form.

Since we moved to our new house, we haven't been able to get Round Table to deliver us a pizza. Despite the fact that there are two Round Tables just around 3 miles of our house they both say, my address is out of their range. I checked and according to Google maps it takes about 4-6 minutes to drive to my house from either location.

When I call the Buchanan location, they say to call the Bailey Rd. location and vice-versa. Last time Buchanan undercooked my pizza so I ended up driving to Bailey to pick it up. They guy there said they were flat-out lying and showed me his delivery map that clearly ends a block before my house. Now, if they were cool they'd make an exception but its a long way to go and requires getting on the freeway. The Buchanan location is basically just down the road. I guess Bailey Rd. is the Last Honest Pizza.

I've also been made privy to some local insider Round Table branch drama. A customer showed up to the Bailey location saying they wanted their pizza. Then explained that they'd ordered a pizza from Buchanan to pick up (they probably live on my street!) and when they got there to pick it up, the doors were locked and the sign said closed during normal business hours. They called and the person who answered said they closed because of safety reasons. I dont give a fuck.. I want my motherfucking pizza! I guess that happens alot, as does them not wanting to fulfil thier delvery route obligations.

Bailey Rd. is a stand up location and they've given me napkins, paper plates, parmesan and pepper every time i've ordered from there without me even asking for it. I'll gladly drive to pick up my pizza from them because Buchanan is fucked.

The Manager of the Buchanan store called me and said that she was sorry and has to double check her delivery range because she's new to that location. She said that my street may have been flagged for drivers safety concerns. I live next to a school, and the neighbors are all cool. Maybe at one time it was bad, before I moved there, but they need to check their shit.

They better step it up or else.. Buchanan, your going down!

Throwback Pepsi

New Pepsi Throwback, with real sugar. I had to try it because Coke with real sugar (can be found in the OG glass bottles) is 100% better than the Fructose crap. So I pop it open, the normal shaped bottle is a little disappointing but at least they're trying with the cool logo right?

It has a distinctly different flavor. There's defiantly more spice to it.. its almost a Ginger Ale flavor. It tasted familiar tho so I kept sipping and trying to find it.. Then it dawned on me. A flavor that I hadnt tasted since the early 90's.

Throwback Pepsi tastes just like Crystal Pepsi!! I remember always thinking that the famously clear pepsi had a distinctly different flavor than regular 1991 pepsi. It's that odd ginger, almost citrus undertone that I always thought was just me associating "clear" with "lemon lime" soda. But no, maybe Pepsi back in the day tasted like that, and Crystal Pepsi somehow nailed the flavor.

so, reluctantly, I gotta say, I still like diet Pepsi better. also, I should have said earlier that Fructose Pepsi, to me, tastes like it has dirt in it. maybe that's the way the ginger spiceyness of it works out after the Fructose treatment.

Crystal Pepsi.. it's your tomorrow, it's your everything. RIGHT NOW!

Uno De Mayo!

ok so hey, its friday again. I scored some Giants tix from my work for tonites game, and of course the forcast is rain, rain, rain. I'm taking my brother and we're just gonna go for it anyway. If it gets rained out we'll just go to the tenderloin and pay a crack whore $100 to just let us take punches to her face and stuff for like 15 minutes. Of course we'll wash our hands afterwards...wouldnt want to get whore flu.

so here's some of this...

Fingertight 2000 - 2005

I found these pictures spanning from 2000 to the band's demise in 2005. They are photos I posted to the band's website, as webmaster throughout the time we had a site. I have to admit, its hard to look at some of these pics without getting emotional.



This was a huge chunk of my life. The band actually formed in 1997 and went on to do great things. Thanks for the ride guys.

My 2 cents on God Damn Swine Flu.

So I just read that an elementary school right around the corner from my house shut down because a few kids stayed home sick with "flu" symptoms.

I'm getting sick of "swine flu"

Everyone is freaking the fuck out, but it's just the fucking flu. Everyone is taking all these extra precautions and washing their hands and shutting down schools, but its the flu. and its not any worse because it's "swine" flu. It's just the flu, that pigs usually get.

Everyone is saying "Pandemic".. that's what the hype is tho.. its not a pandemic. its just some new flu. how many times a year do they shut down schools for the regular flu?

never! its all fucking getting blown up .You should take the same precautions you usually would. Don't just do it now because pig flu is on TV.

Oh yea, and FUCK YOU Isreal! Diseases cant be Kosher. It's called swine flu because it came from fucking pigs you stupid religious non-pork eating fucks. If you get it, you're going to hell.. sucks for you, should have joined a religion with a less discriminating diet.

Hey Mexico, wash your fucking hands.

Also, its probably not pure coincidence that former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld owns stock in the company that makes Tamiflu. the shit they're telling everyone to take if they get Pork Flu. and Bird Flu. remember that?

Dont get me started on people not buying pork because of this. That is just flat-out retarded. We're in an economic crisis that is REAL and the pork industry is suffering in sales because of morons.

One other thing, now they're telling everyone to stop going to Mexico. Cruise ships are turning around because of this crap, but last month the news was talking about the drug wars going on down there and how people (even cops and high ranking govt officials) were getting beheaded and people were vanishing. But the tourists kept pouring in. If you went down there for spring break, I hope you get swine flu and shit your self inside-out.

That's all folks.

Sounds Familiar.

I just got this letter emailed to me from my insurance company. About a year ago they were all about "we're part of AIG now" and the AIG logo was starting to be more predominant on my statements and stuff. Then, the economic ass-puking started and AIG was like the plague. I got a thing from them a couple months ago saying, "dont worry we're not part of THAT AIG, and your policies are safe". Anyway, back to my letter.

Note the hi-lighted part. I edited out the rest of it because it was just some nut stroking yadda yadda.

I emailed em back saying:
Dang, I was hoping my rates would be lower. Wamu said the same exact thing when they "joined" with Chase. Now there is no Wamu, and suddenly my bank has a Chase banner over the Wamu sign and my checks say Chase on them. Funny how that works out. oh well, you gotta have insurance. congratulations and good luck. I kind of always wanted to switch to Farmers but was too lazy, thanks!

Tie Dye Photoshop Tutorial!

Hey everyone! If you ever wanted to know how to make a semi-realistic tie-dye effect using Photoshop, I just figured it out by accident. Now, I'm gonna show you how!

First, open a new file. whatever size you want, I used 500px x 500 at 72 dpi. Then, with your brush tool selected find an odd shaped brush set to a medium to large size.

Choose your color!

Then just doodle some squiggly lines across the page. I used the primary colors, blue, red and yellow. make sure you get an even covering of the white background, but keep it random.


Then choose Blur/Radial Blur from the Filters menu. Choose "zoom" and set it to about 30 to 50 and hit OK.

Just like that you've got a groovy tie dye background!

Now you can add a picture or funky text too! Have fun and happy photoshopping!
