			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s amazing what difference 15 minutes and hot cup of coffee can make in the morning.  I normally set my coffee maker at night to make me my sweet nectar of life in the morning, but failed to last night.  When I realized that I was still in bed and my ride would be showing up in 5 minutes, the harsh reality set in that I would be waiting until I got to work before I could enjoy my first cup.  So here I am.  20 minutes ago I could barely get the key in my office door without falling over and now I&#8217;m a happy little hyper worker bee&#8230;</p>
<p>So here I sit, listening to DEVO.  Yes, I recently realized that ALL of my DEVO music was on LP, and since my turntable has been unusable for years, I haven&#8217;t listened to them in a while.  I immediately turned to Amazon and purchased their first 6 albums.</p>
<p>I know that most of you probably only know of their song &#8220;Whip It&#8221; if you&#8217;ve heard of them at all.  Most folks who do know of them see them as a one-hit wonder band from the 80&#8242;s.  They&#8217;ve actually been playing their wonderfully enigmatic music since the mid 70&#8242;s.  They were well ahead of their time and it&#8217;s a crime that they never had more monetary success.  Many bands have recognized how great their songs are and have covered some such as Nirvana (Turn Around) and Soundgarden (A Girl You Want).</p>
<p>Where am I going with this?  I don&#8217;t know!  Like I said, I&#8217;m on a bit of a caffeine buzz right now&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a wonderfully mind-expanding conversation I had this past Monday with my wife and two sisters (Jojo &amp; Coco), we discussed none other than belly button lint! But wait! It was actually interesting (and amusing) as we talked about the fact that a male that has a hairy stomach (such as myself or Jojo&#8217;s husband) has this natural ability to gather and collect the fuzz and hairs from the inside of his shirt into his bellybutton, in about 3 seconds flat. It&#8217;s like watching an amazing natural phenomenon, like a Venus Flytrap for instance, as an empty bellybutton collects and gathers&#8230;</p>
<p>The added observation by me today is what brought me to admit we actually sit around and discuss such things. Having just had surgery in my abdominal area this past weekend, I had my stomach shaved. This of coarse was a minor detail they didn&#8217;t discuss with me before the surgery, so I was shocked to discover my now naked belly when I came to.</p>
<p>Back to the point though, the hair has now started to grow back with the wonderful side benefit of now being able to sympathize a bit with women who shave their legs because it ITCHES! What I found amazing as I dried off from my morning shower today was the fact that even thought the hairs are only about an eighth of an inch long, they are already back at work trying to collect and gather fuzz and hair to offer up as sacrifices to my ever-hungry belly button. Yes folks, nature cannot be stopped! Like with all of God&#8217;s creations, man can try to stop nature, but in time it heals and carries on in its business.</p>
<p>I hope I did not freak anyone out too much by the subject matter of this post&#8230;</p>
