High oil prices, high wheat prices, and why?

Technorati Tags: oil, middle east, military, environment

The problem is oil, and everything in life is connected to that problem. Have you noticed that the price of bread is higher? The reason you’re paying more for a hot dog bun is oil! Sounds outrageous doesn’t it? Here is what is happening. The wheat that we produce in the mid west is declining. This is because of the high price of oil, which leads us to mixing ethanol with gas to lower the price. The reason we are mixing ethanol isn’t for the environment, it is simply to drop the price similar to how drug dealers cut their heroin. Because we are now mixing gas with ethanol, we need to produce more of this ethanol. The farmers in the mid west are planting more cornfields, for ethanol is derived from corn. With more of our Nation’s fields planted with corn, there is less focus on wheat being planted. It is simple supply and demand, and with less wheat available the price increases. But wait, it goes deeper. […more]

Reader Story: I stabbed a mouse to death once, after living with him for a couple weeks.

I stabbed a mouse to death once. I must be appearing sadistic, eh? I had a major duel with this mouse. I call it a dragon mouse. It was an epic battle! Well, this mouse invaded my house one day, and I didn’t really care till it started running around my room. One day it tried to get into my chocolate stash, and that was it. I heard rummaging through my trash can (where my chocolate wrappers are). I tried grabbing him bare handed, but he was too quick. He had those beady black eyes too. What I did was trap him in my trash can one day. I took the trash can and dumped it into the sewer, and I was so happy I got rid of him. But no, a few days later he was back! He started taunting me too. So, I got a mouse trap and put chocolate on it. I heard it spring one day, but of course he got away. I reset the trap again and waited. Sure enough, it caught him the […more]

Is it unprofessional that women tend to be too emotional in the workplace?

My thoughts were how cold it was to dump your girlfriend over the phone while she’s chomping down on Sushi at lunch. I watched as a co-worker was torn apart from her conversation with her boyfriend, the tears were flowing. Next, all the women gathered around and were comforting her. I have broken off relationships and been dumped, but never let it effect my work. Never in my life have I ever shown the office that something was wrong, I simply do my work. I even found out my Mother had passed away at 10:00 am, and finished out the day without a sign of anything being wrong. So why do women put on a big show? […more]

I am frustrated in the worse way, let me bring you up to speed. My love and I have known each other for almost 8 years now, and dated for several years. She is my best friend, and I am going to spend the rest of my life with her. We broke up for almost a year and have gotten back together in the past couple months. Being together for so long, it is obvious that we were intimate. As a matter of fact, I lost my virginity to her. This leads me up to my current problem… she’s now a born-again virgin!

It started with her having some personal issues towards the end of our relationship before we split up. She had some dark times (maybe more to come on that later), and now has a more extensive list of […more]

Famous bipolar people and genius creativity!

When I am at work, I have a unique focus where I am “in the zone”. When I leave at the end of the day, it feels like I just got there. I never find myself watching the clock, and I love my job. The work that I do is my only priority, and you won’t find me wandering around the water cooler. Different supervisors and co-workers have commented on how I do a great job of getting my work done. I feel this can be contributed to being Bipolar, because for some reason the focus is beyond normal. Creativity also accompanies the focus, and I am always going “outside-the-box” with new ideas. I’m not trying to toot my own horn, I am just trying to make a point. Take a look at some of the famous/successful people who are […more]

Is that a Negro at my car?

I am far from racist, but I bet that title is eye-catching! I was watching 20/20 last night and they had an interesting story on the black/white issue. They set up an old car in the park near the white part of town. They then had 3 white teenagers pretend to vandalize the car and spray paint it in broad daylight. People were walking by with their kids, walking their dogs, and jogging to shed those Christmas pounds. 20/20 was monitoring 911 calls, and had hidden cameras set up. While the white kids were doing their thing, there was only one 911 call and a couple of people talked to them and said they shouldn’t be doing that. At the same time, a guy called 911 because there was a family of black folks sleeping in their car. In fact, he called twice saying they looked shady like they were going to rob someone. The overall result was not many people bothered to stop and just went about their business.

Then came the black teenagers. They did the same thing as the white boys, but far more people stopped to say they should stop what they were doing. Not only that, but the […more]
