Respect - Walk

What did you say?

Well now that I have somewhat of your attention...
There is too much crap going on in the news today to pinpoint one article. But there are tons of finger pointing and look what he said crap.
I am so fed up - to the people who don't matter - the media - shut the fuck up you rightious nobodies. You stand on your white pedistal looking down at us through your finger pointing and waiving your rightious finger. FUCK YOU.

Point the finger at yourself and see what you find. Do it! I bet you won't like what you find, maybe, just maybe you may find the truth. And not the distorted truth you try and feed the masses. But maybe the true stories.

Do me a favor, start reporting what is news and not making up what YOU personally think is news. In all honesty, we don't give a crap about what you think. And the more and more that you try to shovel crap at us, the more and more you are exposed for what you really are - liars.

And for those of you who eat the crap up, stop being lazy, demand and question what it is they are telling you. Challenge the media to be better and more reliable.

***Report the news, don't make the news!***

Calypso Louie

Louis "Calypso Louie" Farrakhan stated last week:

"I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach," Farrakhan explained. "It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry."

Hmmm, what the fuck?

Is this man completely gone? Does he represent all Islamic followers in America? Should the ACLU demand he retract his statement? Shouldn't anyone besides me ask him to retract that unreliable statement?

This is just bad.

Is this what his new agenda of doom and gloom to spark up a conspiracy theory based upon non-facts. Has Calypso Louie ever been near a river or at the beach as the water washes away portions at a time? Has he seen the physical effects of water and levees?

Wow, I just want to say WOW. That is just bad.

Get a grip and support those who need it Calypso Louie. Don't stir BS for your own political agenda.

Crude Oil - Rude Gas Stations!

Well well well... I think we have enough wells. LOL -

Here we are. Oil, Black gold, Texas tea...
Ok, for starters, there is good news today. For the past week the price for crude oil per barrel has gone back down... Slight decrease, but not compared to May when it was under $50 a barrel. But here is where I have a problem. The price of crude oil per barrel has been slipping downward for the past week. But the cost of my fuel has not decreased in the least bit. It has remained the same price. I am confused about this, if crude oil prices drive gas prices then why haven't we seen a relief at the pump?
Does anyone have an answer?

My initial thoughts are in the fact that we do not have enough refineries. I do not believe it is the amount of crude oil we have, it is the amount of refineries. Can we get the product to market? This is economics 101. I am not saying to build, build, and build; however, about 5 more refineries would probably do the trick. There has not been a new refinery built in the U.S. since the 1970's. Well, now there are more drivers in the U.S. then there were in the 1970's. Some of us even remember the fuel hikes back then. I am new driver to that old statistic and I am well into my 30's.

I am not sure if there is an end in sight or any relief in the actual cost of fuel. Some researchers believe that the individual fuel station owners are responsible for maintaining the high fuel cost.

Kenneth Deffeyes predicts a "global recession, possible worse than the 1930's Great Depression" and at worst he warns of "War, famine, pestilence, and Death."

I am not sure about you out there in internet land, but I am not to favorable of the "doom and gloomers" that bring unrest to everyone. For the most part, I try to remain in the middle. An old statement I believe in is, "Expect the worst, Hope for the best, and take whatever comes."
Do I predict war, death, famine, or pestilence? No.
I think Deffeyes has been reading from the old testament lately.

Whatever your belief is, well I would not mind hearing your side. Does not mean I agree with your side.

Jobu Day 2

This is the second day of me messing around with this blog.

~ The military...

• The USMC: I am still loyal to my corps and honor the memory and the War in which I served with the corps. Just for you Jarheads: General Order number 1. To take charge of this post and all government property in view.
• The Army: I am still a Lieutenant. But my views with the new Army vary.
• I do appreciate the quick response and efforts of the National Guardsmen in Louisiana. The soldiers are performing short of miracles.

I wish well to all service men and women serving this fine country around the globe.

Jobu's Bloody Blog

This is the start of an adventure or the end of one. You decide.

I just started this thing, so that is the start; however, I have been through a lot so, this might be near the end.
Hmmm.... Confused yet? I am.

Ok, onto a quick introduction.

I am currently working in a civilian job; however, I have spent the last 17 years in the military.
From 1988 to 1996 I spent in the United States Marine Corps.
I served in the Persian Gulf War. A Lance Corporal - LCPL.
In the reserves I earned my CPL stripe.

During college, I was in the Marine Reserves, but as military cuts hit hard during Clinton's administration, I was left out in the cold.

A buddy of mine said hey! Join the National Guard with me. Of course now I am a Lieutenant in the National Guard and my buddy, I think he is in the Navy (A Squid).

I just returned from Iraq a couple of months ago - still trying to adjust to civilian life. It is hard, I'll have to admit. Most people do not know what is really going on over there. I know that I have served in two wars and a government overthrow, but this one was definately different than the first war.

More bloodshed would be a quick difference. And I was a LCPL in that war and now I am a Lieutenant.

Oh well, I will keep it short and write more later.

Enjoy -
