Yesterday, @bloemche wrote a comment to my Valentine’s post about the teddy bear some of you may have seen by now. It’s in rotation in the header images above. If you haven’t seen it, just keep refreshing the page and you eventually will.

Or you can just look at this screen cap I embedded into the post. Your choice.

Anyway, I thought it might be a nice topic for a non-Lost related diddy (hey remember those?), after all Rae and Marivic both blogged about some of their header images. And to be honest, it’s odd I haven’t thought to talk about the little guy here yet. He does have an interesting story.

A book of verse, underneath the bough,
A jug of wine, a loaf of bread – and thou
Beside me singing in the wilderness -
Ah, wilderness were paradise now!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.

I’m not sure where the title of this post comes from. I just always know that it’s somehow going to include the word Lost… and then I sort of let it go from there.

Well, I guess this one didn’t have to go very far. If it sounds a little lacking, perhaps that’s my general mood coming through. I just closed my blog doors on another awesome month hosting a guest blogger here at johncabrera.com. I’ve been really lucky. I’ve had two fantastic bloggers join the ranks here (actually 4 counting Amrie and Vanessa of the past two days). Last year Marivic Tagala won the SYTYCD FDL (The Lark had yet to emerge from its shell), and filled my blog with Filipino delicacies and trips to the Navy Yard. Well this time around, Rae had us discussing Tears, Career Dreams, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The last of which got me inspired actually. I need to know what you guys are talking about.

Welp, my bags are packed and I’ve left my copy of the blog keys on the counter for John. Only one last thing to do… Thank you!

Despite my slow start, I had a lot of fun this past month. For someone with a lot of blogs, I’d managed to forget just how much I enjoy blogging when I’m free to talk about anything under the sun. Hopefully you found at least one or two of those topics interesting as well.

And, of course, many many thanks to John. Not just for letting me guest blog but also for putting up with my numerous questions and my last minute edits, etc., etc. He’s a pretty swell guy. But I guess we all knew that already, huh?

I’ve really enjoyed getting to know all of you better. Interacting with you in the comments has been the highlight of this experience. I know a lot of us are already connected elsewhere online but, if we aren’t, I hope you’ll take a moment in the comments to let me know where I can find you. We really must keep in touch.

Ok. Enough. Catch ya on the flip side, Larkers.
