Oil.
So I got to thinking about oil and oil companies today. It’s hard not for anyone to think about it every time they go to the pump. Then again some people are idiots.
Here are my negative thoughts:
- The problem is not supply. Experts tell you this. So it must be the oil companies wanting to milk the consumer of all the money they can because they have the world by the balls. They just decide how hard to squeeze.
Here are my positive thoughts:
- The US is one of the most richest nations on earth. We can actually afford to pay these prices. Most of the population anyway. The rest take mass transit. Getting back to the oil companies though they are not really in the oil business anymore. They are in the energy business and, more specifically, in the fuel business. So in order to survive in the future they know they need to develop cleaner fuel and depend less on petroleum. So the US public fronts the cash for the development of the fuel cell technology and the eventual billions or trillions of dollars to put in the support network for that technology.
More negative:
- Oil companies don’t like the prospect of electric cars. They don’t require fuel that these oil/fuel companies will create. Moreover, because electric cars aren’t combustion based transportation they have fewer parts (e.g. cylinders, camshafts, etc.) and cost little to operate.
More positive:
- Energy companies invest in cleaner power and can profit from the electricity needed to power the cars. Clean energy fueling clean cars.
That’s it for now. Maybe my logic is all wrong but it’s how I see it. **shrugs**
Wild Animal Crunch.
Here’s my version of this cereal:
Here at Kellogg’s we want to bring your attention to the plight of the wild animals throughout the world by creating something delicious and natural! Of course by “natural” we mean any object that has its origins on the planet earth with a radioactive half-life of greater than 1000 years.
Take a look at our second ingredient for example. SUGAR! There’s nothing more wholesome and condusive to you child’s girth…er…GROWTH than that of sugar! It’s delicious and has no real nutritional value. However it’s NATURAL!
Please note that this product is Kosher but does have traces of soybeans in it. This is due to the fact that we use genetically manipulated corn which has been spliced with genes from soybeans to render a more protein enriched product for your health! And it’s NATURAL!
So try our new “Wild Animal Crunch” and picture the baby seals on the box when you are eating it. And remember our favorite joke here at our company:
A baby seal walks into a club…
Irrational behavior.
I’m so tired.
It all started innocently enough. I expected a relaxing 3-day weekend. I kinda wanted to go to Sandy’s with Hope this weekend but then found out I was on call at the treating plant this weekend. No big deal. What could possibly go wrong?
That was the wrong thing to think…
First I get a call on Saturday from a friend. Her and her boyfriend/fiance broke up. She and he and their neighbor went to clubs and bars on Friday night. She explains they were all having a great time when they left him (rather drunk) at a table while telling him they were going to go to the bathroom.
Seems innocent enough. WRONG!
Well he had left the table by the time they got back and they spent a good long time looking for him. Well they found him and he exploded on them telling them what bitches they were. They drive home and she just expects to go to bed and hopefully talk about it in the morning. Nope. Wasn’t gonna happen. He contiuned his tyrade and literally threw her out. I mean physically picked her up and threw her out. Wow. There’s a real man.
So she was gone on a road trip the next day and found out that he threw all of her clothes in the dumpster. So she called me to go get them. I happened to run into him while I was waiting for security to show up (which never did by the way) and explained that I was here to get her clothes to which he replied “I’d rather you didn’t.” Yea right. I came all this way just to turn around. So I explain I’m just here to help and what you two need to finger out is between you. I asked him if we’d have any problems and he said no. So I collected her things.
She and her friend came over and ended up staying the night and we had a good talk. She’ll be good. She’s smart, beautiful and strong. She’ll find someone better in no time.
I just hate the fact that she had to go through this to learn this about him. I’m glad she gave him the chance to change but he’s not going to.
On that note I do have a nice new trinket on my keychain. **grins**
More to come on the rest of my weekend. Perhaps.
