Dallas Cowboys and Star Trek, Bong Bong Bong
Ok, I am a geek. So it comes no surprise to anyone that I am on a quest for a bit of nostalgia. More precisely the medical readout that hangs on the wall in the original Star Trek. This piece of memorabilia is nowhere to be found. I must be the only one who thinks its cool. I think it would be cool to actually hook this thing up and hear your heart beat and see your medical stats while you are sleeping. You could even put a hard drive in the thing and have it record everything. I guess it is like one of those monitors in a hospital, except it is pleasing to the eye. Especially that bong bong noise it makes when the heart is beating. There was one episode of Star Trek where the guy could control his heartbeat. You hear "bong bong bong" really fast then he stops it completely and freaks out the nurse. That was pretty cool. It'd be cool to do that too. Since I sleep in a forest with crickets by the ocean the bong bong bong would just add to the ambiance. In other news there are a lot of things happening in the world, but most notably the start of football season. This is going to be a good year with the Dallas Cowboys going to the Super Bowl and Texas Tech winning it all. So far there hasn't been any bad news like there's been the years before. No player is hurt and no player is getting kicked out. That's a good way to start. It reminds me of a joke.
Q: What do you call a drug ring in Dallas?
A: A huddle.
or
Q: How do the Dallas Cowboys spend their first week at spring training?
A: Studying their Miranda Rights.
Thought of the Day
"If it's not about sports, I find it very hard to concentrate."
"You're not very bright, are you?"
"No I'm not. I would like to be, but I'm not."

BTW - This is my 300th post in this blog. Wow, do I really talk that much?

If you're really serious about getting the Star Trek medical thing, go to newvoyages.com and contact them. I believe they have built one for one of their episodes. Maybe you could buy theirs. They always talk about how short on money they are.Congrats on 300 posts. Everyone have a good weekend.
