Lost thoughts, then lost in thoughts

I have watched the season finale for "Lost" twice so far, and I am totally fascinated by the episode.
Lost just hit the reset button to perfection. We know there are 48 episodes left and that the show creators will be allowed to complete their story and end the show they want to.
If you are haven't seen the finale, you may not want to read this: We now have a brand new group on the island that could be there to save them (there are 3 years left, are they really going to be saved now?) or they could be an enemy to "every living thing on the island". We also know for sure at least Kate and Jack got off the island which dramatically changes they way the show needs to end (getting off the island isn't the end of the show, we at least have to see how they got home, why they aren't together, how long they have been home, how many were brought back, is Jack's dad alive or is that just how messed up Future Jack is and whose funeral was it). So now the show will be able to play with flashbacks, and they will also be able to flashforward to show how the survivors deal with being off the island but now at any point they could be rescued and then we may actually get Island flashbacks to fill in the island questions (What is the island, why did Ben kill all his people, how did the Others get there).
So Yeah, I'm a little excited for the final episodes of "Lost" to start, unfortunately we have to wait until February for new episodes.

One of my soft addictions is "As Seen On TV" products, I don't know why but they amaze me with their magical powers. It was always fun to throw an ice cube on the Miracle Thaw and watch how fast it melts, my Sobakawa pillow lasted for a long time and I couldn't live without my Little Giant. But I have just witnessed the 2 newest marvels from Billy Mays, the man who brought us Oxiclean. The Hercules Hook could revolutionize the way we hang everything. But these Zorbeez could render paper towels useless and actually help the environment. I have just ordered both because, well its a sickness, but i will update you on the true power of these 2 new wonder products once I am able to test them fully.

I guess if I have gone from "Lost" to "as seen on TV", the only logical next step is to talk about what may be the greatest concert of all time. This summer get ready for the Poison'd tour with obviously Poison as the headliner but just as important to the greatest concert moniker is White Lion. Just the thought of "When the Children Cry" "Wait" "Tell Me" plus all of the Poison greats "Every Rose" "Something to Believe In" "Nothin' But A Good Time" "Talk Dirty To Me" "I Won't Forget You" and "Fallen Angel" makes me think that this is the sort of event that could reverse the rotation of the earth (although without Vito Bratta playing guitar for White Lion, I think we should be safe for now). Ratt is also on the bill, and Great White may still join them, but that really only adds "Round and Round" and "Once bitten Twice Shy". If you are in the Chicago area the show at the World has tickets available for $3.79.
