*Bush support down.
*United States of China, HUH!?

*Bush Support Down*
Well about time everyone got smart gee, we voted him in followed him like lamb to the slaughter, and now that we just about slaughtered, we wake up, to see the big bad wolf behind all of this. His support has dropped, congress is as stagnet as stream in the desert, and now we are second guessing the Iraq War (I'm sorry I mean "Operation Free Iraq" AKA "War on Terror: Episode 2 Revenge of the Texans"). So basically America is pretty screwed up right now, rights are being threatened left and right, gas prices continue to rocket although that is mostly inflation, we have an ape for a president and, China is soon going to own America and rename it China 2: Old America.

*United States of China*
"Comming to soon to a town near you a company owned by China, formally owned by an American." The latest red scare is the fact that the Chinese oil company wants to buy Unical (United Califonia Oil, AKA Philips 66), this is a bad sign of things to come should the Government allow this to happen. That's just what we need is the Chinese to own our companies, espically our oil companies, they could bankrupt our economy anytime they want, they already can do major damage now. I know that sounds a bit crazy, but when you think about it they are buying into one of the beating blood things of our economy. Next thing you know they will be buying every company out and we won't have to worry about helping third world contries we will be one.

GW Speech, UGH!!!!

I need to vent this anger, I HATE GW, I HATE GW, I HATE GW, sorry I can't stand his voice it drives me nuts. His ,"ugh, ugh, well we need more crude oil" "ugh, ugh, that's why we have to pass my energy bill"

My Take On It (Part 1)

Hello here is my new series "My Take On It" I will give you my take on current events hopefully I will have a new one every Monday.

Oil and Gas Prices
Is the American Public to blame or Bush?

Well this is a tough question, because Bush really only manuplates the economy by how he legislates and actions he does. Currently he is trying to get his energy plan passed which would open the oil reserves in Alaska and damage the ecosystem of Alaska.

Now on how the public is at fault, they say on the news "Oil Prices have risen today meaning gas may soon go up also." so what do people do they go and fill their tanks even if it doesn't need it, so what does that create, a higher demand so it gives the gas companies an excuse to raise.

Well the dirty truth about Bush's energy, it's not oil that we lack, it's the processing capcity. Many of the refineries are going through the yearly switch from the Winter Blend and Home Heating oil to the Summer Blend, which takes about a month. It also depends on how cold the winter has been and how long it last, in New Englend where most home heating oil is used had a longer than usual winter cause a delay in the switch holding up productions. We could have all the oil in the world but if we have no where to refine it then we have nothing.

That's been my take on it, now it's your turn to think about it.

Stay Upscene

Happy Easter

I hope everyone had a good Easter (Candy Day), I had a good one, no work only thing to do was to sit around and eat.

That Reminds Me (Part 4)

My First Florida Vacation
In just one night there was more excitement than in the rest of the time

Well this time the flight was pretty good, Orlando Airport is a really neat airport, even if it looks something from Miami Vice. Anyway so we got our rental car and headed for our friends condo that was in a small little town on the Atlantic called Palm Coast. Well actually we stayed in another part of it called something that I can't remember. Anyway it is kind of tucked away there is only one easy way to get to it and that is to take a toll bridge, so if you wanted to go to Wal-Mart or any major food joint you had to travel a good 30 minutes into the city of Palm Coast. Also the set of condos we stayed at there were three of them one was the orignal "Surf Club 1" then the next one "Surf Club 2" and the newest and not quite finished "Surf Club 3" which is the one was stayed at, it was at the very end of the city water line, which means no pressure, try going poop and flushing with no pressure.

Well my two sisters Melanie and Chrissy had gotten there first because, Chrissy was moving back from South Carolina and she stopped by he house to help in the packing and they drove from there to the condo so they got there a day ahead of us. Well being on a plane all day and then in a car makes one a bit cramped and when I seen them out on the beach I ran out there, of course I changed. Well it turned out that right where we went out it was all rock bellow and so we all got our legs and feet cut up, we the next day discovered that if we moved a few feet in either direction that it was all sand. Back to the story so anyway nothing really exciting happend, my parents went to Wal-Mart, which was like an hour and a half trip. Well they got back and all my nieces except the oldest were in bed, well my mom had bought some popcorn and so we decided to pop some popcorn. Now our friend had specifically told us not to accedentally set off the fire alarm because the sprinklers dropped some much water at a time.

One bag popped fine, then we made another bag, big mistake, well we thought at the time. It was perfect timing, as soon as the microwave dinged, the smoke detectors went off. Now let me just tell you I'm glad that they followed all the building codes when they built that place, because they had a smoke detector in everyroom and it was so high pitched bouncing off walls and what not that you had to leave. At first we thought it was us, but luckly it wasn't the whole building was going off, it is kind of cool to see a 7 story building with the fire alarm going off, it sounds wierd, but it was kind of cool. Anyway some people went done to the ground, they appeared to have been sleeping and so they thought there was a fire and went to the ground.

30 minutes later the fire department arrived, now apparently it used to take up to an hour to get the fire department there, the had just built a new station. Well me and my nosiness wanted to know what was going on so, me and my sister Melissa ventured to the bottom, we came out from the parking garage below the building and went to find out what was going on. We talked to a few of the people and it pretty much came down to that there was a fault in the system which triggered it to go off. Now to define "Fault" for you it could have been, a bad sensor, loss of pressure in the sprinkler system.

Well that was our excitement, except for seeing the dolphins toying with some people on the beach and the big bug that flew into my moms head.

I will post some pictures from it if I can locate them.

Stay Abnormal :)

Terri Schiavo (My take on it)

OK I think you all know what is going on with Terri, her heart stopped briefly from a chemical imbalance, cause brain damage, that was 1990. She has been on a feeding tube since and she hasn't had much brain activity, she also left no living will. This has become a case of right-to-die or right-to-live.

My take she has suffered enough, I think that she should be allowed to die, her parents are being selfish and want to keep their daughter around. In reality their daughter left 15 years ago, and they need to accept that. Instead they wish to drag her physical self through hell, just so they can keep her around, I know it is hard to let someone you love die, but sometimes it's better that way. Without all of these medical advancements she wouldn't have lived this long so you can't say that you are playing God by doing this, because without these things she wouldn't survive.

I feel her husband is right and that this shows a great weakness in our legal system, as these things were not thought of years ago and how could they. Also I think it is time for the bureaucrats to look into a better living will system than the current one to make sure this never happens again.

That Reminds Me (Part 3)

Feeling bad about the late post I will post my next story NOW.

The World of Pee, I Mean of Coke
Free Samples of all kinds of Coke Products great, well my bladder didn't.

Well we were on vaction and we went to SC and stayed with my sister for the week, then the last weekend we were there, we went Atlanta, Georgia. First stop The World Of Coke.

It was great, tons of Coke memorbila, history and anything Coke. Well you work your way to the top floor and on the top floor what do you find, but FREE SAMPLES.

It was kind of cool they had all the major Coke Brands on this thing that when you put your cup down it did this thing where it shot water out and then on the last one the cup fills up as the water is going into the little thing. Well that was fun I had a few cups of that (note the cups are slightly larger than Dixie cups), I moved onto more and I was trying all kinds of them and refiliing and getting more. I even tried Tab, UGH! nasty stuff I can't believe people actually drink that.

Anyway, know my history of poor bladder when it comes to vacation and pop, I proceed to refill and refill and refill, then we went to the international pop, UGH. I had Bitter Apple or something, nasty. Well they so convenently place bathrooms at the end of the tour, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! is all I have to say. Well then for the next hour it was hell, I had to pee like every 5 or 10 mins, and there isn't always somewhere you can go pee, haha.

Well anyway that's my World of Coke Story, just a suggestion if you are in Atlanta stop by it, it is worth the time and money.

STAY CLASSY

Check for next weeks story, TBA

That Reminds Me (Part 2)

Sorry for the late post several things have come up this week, and so forth yata yata.

Just fair warning as I ran into with my pictures this is my intellectual property PLEASE DO NOT STEAL IT AND CALL IT YOUR OWN, THEN I WILL HAVE TO PULL THIS WHOLE BLOG, enjoy :).

My First Airplane Ride
A Drunk Lady, Little Children, and a 2 hour in flight delay, need I say more

OK so about four years ago we moved my sister to South Carolina, first my I say 14 hours in a big yellow moving truck with a crabby tired driver is no fun. Well we spent a week in SC visited Charleston, I left my mark there (that is another day, then the last weekend we were there we went to Myrtle Beach, let me just tell you madness, the roads are packed all day long. Anyway I had a good time, my mom on the other hand was in the water less than 2 minutes and she fractured her ankle, (yet another day's story). So she had a fractured ankle, everyone said she was lucky it was our last day of vacation, so her ankle still hurt when we got on the plane.

Thus begins my tale, ok just a note Myrtle Beach Airport is so calm compared to O'Hare, but I guess any airport is compared to O'Hare. We flew Spirit Air, I was glad I got to experience the way it used to be like to fly before 9/11, because that happend only a month later. So anyhow our flight was on time and everything and it was looking good, clear weather in both Chicago and Myrtle Beach when we got on the plane. The flight time 1hr 30mins, my mom thought she could handle that, haha, little did she know that we would spend and hour over Indiananpolis, then another hour or so on a Detriot tarmac. Well being my first time fling I was excited I had my head in the window the whole time, well except for when the food and drinks were handed out. Well everything was going good, the air pressure change does something to my bladder, I had to go to the bathroom twice. Well they made the final descent announcement, were 30 mins early comming into Chicago, but not for long. Then all of sudden we turn and I start to notice the same senery over and over, then we get the news none us wanted to hear.

"There is a thunderstorm that has blown up in the Chicago area and we will be circling Indianapolis until we can land."

Well we spent an hour over Indianapolis and my mom's foot was throbbing the whole time she just wanted to get off, haha. Well final then they say "We have to land in Detriot to refuel and then we will continue to Chicago." Well then we spent a good hour there too, and it was a hot day. Many of you who fly know that you can't use the air when the plane is on the tarmac, and they had no gate for us, because everyone else heading to Chicago was waiting for the weather to clear. Well then they handed out water, oh yeah that was good idea, because guess what, the bathrooms were full so you could not use them.

That might have been due to the fact that the drunk lady a few seats back was pucking her brains out in the bathroom for like 20 mins before that. Well they finally hooked up some mobile air unit and then like 2 mins later were taking off. Well then it was cool coming across Lake Michgan to see the storm that had held us up, the lightning was cool.

Then we got a little turbulence, so I reliezed this flight was great, I expericed all the shitty things in one flight, delay, sitting on a tramac, and turbulence, how could I LOSE.

Then we finally landed in Chicago, and as we are getting off the plane, the drunk lady says really loud "OH THANK GOD", see the kids were sitting behind her and had apperently kicking her seat the whole flight. Well then the mother says back "Why Don't You Have Another Drink?" and the drunk lady says "OH Real Mature." Then the filght attendent came and broke it up, so I added one other thing to my list of things that happen on planes, to passengers getting into it.

ENJOY, and stay CLASSY.

Check next week for another story entitled "THE WORLD OF PEE, I MEAN COKE"

That Reminds Me (Part 1)

Welcome to my Blog Series I would like to call "That Reminds Me", it is based on my several stories of my life, that I always bring up and say "that reminds me of this time." Enjoy, I will try to update it every Thursday.

Why I am The Way I am
The reason I act like I do, at least I blame it on this incident

Well I was 2 in a half years old and my parents were building our new house less than a mile from our old house, which I guess I used to call the "Crack House" not knowing that it implied something else, I was refering to the cracks in the walls, but you know. So anyway my parents were gone alot and my 3 sister and I were left to watch ourselves, well don't get the idea they said bye and left us to fend for ourselves. First thing to help this picture be a little clearer, I have 3 Sisters going from oldest to youngest Melanie, Chrissy, and Melissa, Melanie was about 15, Chrissy was about 13, and Melissa was about 5.

Well my sisters were friends with a few kids just a few houses down from us and they always hung out down there. Well on one peticular evening the younger kid about Melissa's age had a wagon full of cable ties, for God knows what reason, but they left me unattended for long enough for me to get one around my neck. Now being only 2 in half years old, I didn't have the logic to know that cable ties only go one way tighter. So I tried geting it off by pulling on it and of coarse it got tighter and tighter, while it's getting tighter I'm turning red to purple to blue. Well finally our friends mom came out and squeezed a pair of scissors enough to cut it free.

The very vaguely remember this story and the only reason that I remember it is because my family told me about it. I wonder why it is such a vague memory, hahaha.

Look for Part 2 next Thursday, or earlier if I get bored.
