Ok, forty something days has gone by and I've stayed away from YouTube, MySpace, and Twitter about my personal thoughts on this issue. Because everytime I do rant on about something, it doesn't go my way and it turns to be no biggie.

Now, almost a month and a half has gone by, there is nothing really that has been done about it. 19 million gallons at the best of estimates to 43 million gallons of the worst estimates have been unleashed in the Gulf of Mexico.

All that oil has destroyed the livelihood of many thousands of fishermen, business owners, and recreational parks along Louisiana, Mississippi, and the far west side of Florida. Millions or even billions of dollars are going to be lost in the time it takes to recover and clean all that oil.

While all this is going on, the company, BP Energy, is shy and doesn't know what to do. Running around like a lost dog looking for its home, BP is losing time and money.

I personally believe it's going to take a LONG time to clean up all the oil, with some estimates running up to 50 years to clean ALL the oil. BP has alot on their hands, literally and figuratively speaking.

And as if losing 11 fathers, sons, brothers, friends wasn't enough... I don't like it.

As for Obama, he's another story. There are small groups of protesters saying that he should be fired. If anything, those morons should fire themselves. Obama didn't have anything to do with the blowup and destruction of a multi-million dollar chunk of floating metal. Nature decided to release a hiccup and a burp. Obama, being a president of an increasingly needy population, gave what the majority of American's what they wanted, offshore drilling near America.

But then those people who were trying to convince all of America that offshore drilling is good are just at their houses sitting down on a La-Z Boy nodding their heads. Don't get me wrong though, there are some (few really) that were begging Obama for offshore drilling and are out there trying to help. Kudos to them, there aren't enough.

In the end, I think BP is to blame for the size of the leak and the time it has taken. BP should pay, at least part of, the bill to clean. Obama should set forth sticter guides so that this doesn't happen again. And ALL offshore drilling company's should train and fund for steps to prevent something like this from happening again.

I'm off to wonder in my mind :) Good day all of you.

Today, March 14, 2010 at 2 AM (2 AM of the date) will be the beginning of Daylight Savings Time or DST.

I am 24 years old and I never knew what it really was and why the time is implemented as such. Personally I don't agree to it but the most powerful people do and do not care what we say :)

DST was implimented to be a time period so that we (American's) can "enjoy" the most of daylight in the summer. Who's bright idea was it? Well the person who invented the bright light bulb of course. Benjamin Franklin believed that we didn't enjoy daylight as much as he believed we should, like spending time out with the family and such, so he did what any powerful man in office would do, force it on us. Decades later we still practice the extra hour as well as other countries in the world now.

What's the point? I don't really know, but I do know that tonight (as I am writing this before 2AM) I'm going to lose 1 hour of sleep just to gain one more hour of the lovely Texas summer heat and sunshine.

I believe that DST is just a waste of our time but I really look forward to Standard Time as I get back what was taken from me!

I'm going to leave you with this quote from an official government website that backs DST all the way...

One of the biggest reasons we change our clocks to Daylight Saving Time (DST) is that it reportedly saves electricity.

:) Have a great day.

Well ever since I began my failed project "Thoughts Uncensored" I had a twitter. Although I didn't use it that much, I still used it.

Now, since I have HMJ's Blog, I also recreated my Twitter. If you wanna follow me and my little weird moments, just click on the link :)

My father-in-law asked me a simple question, "What is the difference between fraternal twins and maternal?" I shrugged my shoulders Googled it. Found my answer to be that fraternal twins are "non identical" twins born from the same mother at, almost, the same time.

Although that shows the educational purpose of Google, that opened my mind to ask, "Has there been fraternal twins born from different fathers?" Am I sick? No I was just curious :)

So what did I do? I looked it up on Google :) I found a VERY interesting article from wowOwow.com titled "Fraternal Twins Born to Different Fathers are Half-Siblings." Okay since I don't know the website, I can't agree or disagree the credibility of it so I went off to Wikipedia.org to verify this... I love Wikipedia :)

Turns out that yes it happens. Click here to go directly to the section where it talks about it. Although it doesn't happen that much, it still happens. Just go to Google.com and look up "twins different fathers" and you'll find tons of links...

What about the woman/mother? It must be a very embarrassing moment for her if she were in a relationship with the father of one of the kids. How does someone explain that?

Anywho, a baby is a child and a child should always be loved. No matter what the mother did or the father. Like my cousin always told me, "Shit happens." I sure as hell wouldn't want that to happen to me :)

Peace be with you guys and please, be safe :)

Have you ever gone to a red light and you are going to turn right? Ever done that and had someone behind you? Are you a safe driver how doesn't turn right on red lights? Yeah, I'm like you then.

What ticks me off is when I stop at a red light, I'm the one in front and I got my signal light to turn right on. I always get people beeping at me. Okay that doesn't tick me off, what REALLY ticks me off is when they beep at me and they are going straight.

Here's what I mean, I pull up to a fresh red light and I'm the one in front. A car pulls behind me. Okay I got my right signal light on and the driver behind me doesn't (he's either a bad driver or going straight). He/she beeps at me because no cars are coming from the left, and I go to see the bastard going straight.

Why does it tick me off? Because the fool has to still stop at the damn red light! I don't know why people are so pissy about that... But I know why I'm pissy when people honk at me to go. I abide the law so now I don't turn :)

Something I had to get off my chest :D

A classmate of mine died from an accident that involved his wife, two kids and the driver of the other vehicle, they all died. It was in the local newspaper which was printed for no more than one week and only two towns knew about it... A chicken loving, SUPER self conscious golfer Tiger Woods gets into a fight with his boo and gets a boo-boo in a little accident that sends him to the hospital for a few hours just to come out with a few bandages considered in "good condition" is just sad.

I hate celebrities because of that! Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana are all the same. They fuck up and the world looks at them like AWW with sad puppy eyes. Then they go out in public thanking them for all their wishes and prayers. What did we ever get when one of our family members or friends died? About 20 people, food, and a sad memorial.

Micheal Jackson got a month of freezer burn, millions or even billions of people crying for him and people talking about him for days! Celebrities don't deserve the attention they get. Real people who make them who they are now deserve it!

Time for  a cigarette! ^_^ Happy holidays to all!

On November 18, 2009 around 4:30 AM Central US time there was supposed to be a spike in the Leonids meteor shower... But it wasn't a shower as in 4-10 or more per minute, it was more on the side of 1-2 per minute.

I took my happy butt outside anxious and anticipating the best meteor shower ever. I laid down on a hammock and faced East (the direction the meteors were coming from) and lit up a cigarette and saw my first one, then another, then one more, then nothing. I smoked my cigarette to almost past halfway and nothing still. Finally my cigarette was done and I caught a glimpse of one.

But hey, 4 isn't bad for 8 or so minutes right? YES IT WAS! All expectations for the US side of the shower was 100 per hour not 30! Eh but oh well.

So what did you get to see? Did you see more than I did?
