1. The media doesn’t really like Lady Gaga or her music. They just like the way she shocks middle America.
2. I keep buying and returning iPad cases. I may have a problem.
3. My buddy Sean has been out of the office all week. So we have not been able to chat through lotus notes. It’s been a long week.
4. Most people who have as little money as we do, do not get to live in their dream house as we do.
5. When you get an iPad for your birthday in late October, it is easy to not be materialistic about the Holidays. Think about it.
6. I mentally makes notes in my head about how things remind me of Harry Potter.
7. For some reason I’ve gotten a lot done at work this week.
8. Bought an app this week which doesn’t work too well. I blame liberals and El Niño.
9. Pretty excited about being able to watch Antiques Roadshow on the iPad. Boom.
10. People keep giving me bacon-flavored everything except…bacon.
Echoes and Stars 
Matt,You have no idea how much I look forward to your random thoughts. Here are some random thoughts about your random thoughts:1. No doubt…just a new Madonna in weirder, edgier clothing…big deal. 2. After 10-12 years in a "professional job" I finally have the right hardware, A swiss gear backpack that I could probably live out of and I got lucky with my first case for my iPod and have never looked back.4. I love when I am at the Y working out and they have ridiculous shows on HGTV like a newly married couple who are looking at 600K houses as a starter home. Seriously…HGTV you need to see how most normal people live.5. I got mine in April so the materialism is starting to rear it's ugly head again. 6. I do this but in reference to "The Office"9. You need to watch Brian Regan talk about Antiques Roadshow…hilarious!10. My wife bought turkey bacon at the store this week. Is "turkey bacon" an oxymoron? Oh yeah did you see the bacon flavored dental floss? Miss ya brother,Chad Molen
