I just need to start this off with a disclaimer... This is ALL speculation on my part, and just my personal musings. That being said...
What the HELL is wrong with BP and the US Government?!?!?!?
I am ashamed of them both. It seems to me (and please correct me if I am wrong) that BP has not done ANYTHING at all to attempt to STOP the flow of oil into the Gulf. To me, it seems that everything that they have tried has been an attempt to slow the flow, never to stop it. If I had to guess I would say that BP does not want or care for the oil to stop flowing. Even their new plans to cut the pipe and attach a new one, and in a couple of month have a boat there to collect oil from a new well connected to that well... seems like they just want to keep getting oil from the well, and not stop the flow.
This has gone beyond a catastrophe. For that matter it should never have been allowed to flow for as long as it did. Millions and millions of barrels of oil have spewed into the Gulf and more will continue. If BP wont close the well, then the US Government should. They should have weeks ago!
I am appalled by the fact that this has been allowed to go on so long and still continues and the lovely people at BP want it to go on for months! It is amazing that they are debating the possibility that there is oil below the surface of the water. Just like they (in my opinion) lied about how many barrels a day were coming out of the pipe. They are doing everything possible to mislead everyone so that they can keep their well going!
I don't know what the oil Lobbyists have promised the people in Washington DC over the years or recently, but for God's sake people... it is time to give up the fucking greed and personal gain (be it money, fame, power, what-ever) and fix this before it ruins more than just a few billion life forms in the Gulf and spreads to more Oceans and Seas and waterways!
President Barack Obama, I know that you wont be reading my Blog. Hell, not many people do! But I am guessing that someone might glimpse this as your technology people are scanning the Internet for mentions of your name (and possibly BP), so someone might see this in Washington. If you do, then let it be known that you guys have to get off of your fat asses and stop the flow of oil in the Gulf! Not just slow it down and give BP time to start drilling there and collect the oil again. They fucked up! If they want to drill again they should need to start from scratch! And you need to MAKE SURE that they have proper safe guards installed this time.

Who the heck is this woman and why is she allowed to write this dribble?
Listen, I am not trying to offend my very religious friends (and I do have quite a few). And most of them may know me as being "religious", although I haven't been a "practicing" Catholic in many years. That is not to say that I a complete atheist these days. Just that I have a thing against organized religions (more on that some other time). Right now I would just like to point out a number of incorrect statements made in the following article about Halloween (which having grown up in Sleepy Hollow, is of course one of my favorite holidays):
http://www.charismamag.com/index.php/prophetic-insight/23723-the-danger-of-celebrating-halloween?showall=1
First, as for her (Kimberly Daniels') comments about Halloween being a holiday for Lucifer she cannot be FURTHER from the truth. Yeah, sure in recent years people have been focusing on the commercialized horror movies that come out around this time. However, strictly speaking this "holiday" was created (as most Christian Holidays) to capitalize on already well established pagan events. Now, some of you may say that anything pagan is against God and by that virtue is for Satan. I disagree. Halloween created from three other "holidays"...
She mentions that Lucifer is a demon and that he has everything equal to God but in the complete opposite. Well, this again is a direct contradiction to the earliest religious statements... Lucifer was once and foremost the most powerful and beloved of Angels. So now he is a demon? As far as I know, no where in the Bible (or any books pertaining to that body of works) does it say that God physically changed Lucifer. All it says is that he was cast out of Heaven. So, technically, he is still an Angel. And if he is just an Angel how can he possibly have everything that God does, all his powers, all his resources, etc... when he was created by God? See what I mean with the whole contradiction thing? When you really look at organized religions (in particular most of the Christian faiths, mainly due to the fact that they are all based on the same thing)., there are too many inconsistencies to make it ENTIRELY believable/trust worthy (more on that later).
This freak even bashed gathering around fires as being Demonic in nature. Hell woman, what do you think Jesus did on a cold night in the desert?! Do you think that he did not build a fire? GIVE ME A GOSH DARN BREAK! REALLY!
She bases the word occult... guess what... by definition, Christianity is a cult. Any group that has a religious doctrine pretty much falls under that definition, so now all Christians are basically Satan Worshipers using her logic.
She says that pagans and witches (actually to her they are one in the same, which they are not...) worship many Gods, which is wholly unchristian and most definitely satanic. Well, got news for you... Your monotheistic faith of Christianity is not really monotheistic. Firstly, you worship 3 gods. God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Ghost (spirit?). Hmm... all 3 are all powerful... and discussed at length as being 3 distinct "entities" (for lack of a better word) and yet all the same one being. Hmm... sounds like 3 gods to me. Also, you bash the god of the harvest and etc as being multiple gods. What do you think that the Arch Angels and regular Angels and all the Saints are? Isn't there a Saint and an Angel of the harvest? Hmm... again, sounds awefully a lot like multi-theism to me...
I could go on and on and on for a REALLY long time about all of this stuff, but I think that I have made my point. And about that point...
It isn't that I am telling anyone not to believe in God. Far from it... Most everything that I have written about above is just my beef against organized religions, not faith. Believe in who/what you want... that is not for me to say. However, most of that stuff mentioned above are all human interpretations of various things that have been said or written over the ages. And in some cases they are re-interpretations for say the 10th (or 1000th) time. Anyone that follows religious doctrine to the letter is obviously missing the point of faith. You need to be a good person and help others. Forget about nit picking. And for goodness sake, do some real research about what you are writing before you go slamming other people on things that someone else said as their interpretation of what God wanted. Especially when you really aren't right on many of the facts.
If I have misspoken on any of my information above, please forgive me as I did not have time to research every little detail. But then again, I don't think that many people will read this either. And I don't proclaim to spread the word of the Lord. Only mine... take it or leave it, I don't really care.

- celebrating harvest time (nothing to do with Lucifer)
- day of the dead (a christian belief by the way taken from pagan rites) to honor the dead (aka "all hallows eve")
- all saints day (again a christian holiday) to celebrate all the dead saints

Riding the train...
Ok, why in the heck do people that are going one or two stops... on a train that they full well know is ALWAYS PACKED... insist on passing 3 seats that have one person in them to sit alone in an empty seat. Then they do not give up their seats for the elderly, or for families or couples. Then have to force the person that sits down next to them on the aisle seat to get up at the next stop because they have to get off the train. Why... why I say?!?!?!?!

What the hell?! (public transportation)
Ok people... Really, come on now...
So, I was riding the Fairfax Connector bus this morning in VA (and this is not a problem that only occurs on this bus line) and sat in the only available seat. Turns out that the guy next to me stank. Not horribly, but enough to be noticeable and disgusting after 5 minutes (which was unfortunate as the ride was ~25min long). So my question is, how do you not notice that you stink? Please, if you are going to ride public transportation in close quarters (you know how small those bus seats are) have some common courtesy and bathe first! I mean really!
On the second leg of my journey this morning I was riding the Metro into DC and I was sitting in about the 3rd row or so, and noticed that there was a young roach of some sort crawling around on the shoulder of the man in front of me in the second row. Again, come on now... leave your creepy crawlies at home man! Better yet, get rid of them all together, but if you cannot then just leave them at home. I don't need one crawling off of you and onto me. It took him about 20 minutes to realize that this thing was crawling all over him. And I think that he only noticed because it crawled down his arm and onto his newspaper.
As you can imagine I was very grossed out this morning.
The moral of this rant... People you really need to improve your gosh darn hygiene! YUCK!

As Peter Griffin would say... "You know what really grinds my gears?"!
Ok, first rant to start off the blog...
It REALLY annoys me when the people that design the roadways place on and off ramps less than .25 miles apart. So that while I am trying to get onto a highway, there are other people trying to get off at the exact same place. In theory this might make sense to someone, until they try to merge in this situation at 55+ mph (and when I say 55+ I mean the oncoming traffic, us trying to merge and those trying to get off on the ramp in front of us).
Come on now! Use some damn common sense people!!! Geez!
