Sorry to be so long, but I've working many hours.
The Somalian Pirates finally showed a chink in their armor. After making scores of many great boat jackings netting millions of dollars in profits they finally showed just how poor the Somali education system is. They take an American cargo ship, and instead of going the tested and true path of holding ship and cargo until ransom is delivered, they take the ships captain to hold for ransom instead. Are they mad? And by mad I mean crazy. We all know their mad, they are taking ships for ransom. There has to be some kind of ax to grind there. Don't they know a company will gladly hand over the cash for their cargo far sooner than for a human life.

April Fools
I just saw on Fox 8 news this morning a Japanese engineer invented a device that fits into your ear that controls your ipod with your face. Correct, your face.
The inventor, Kazuhiro Taniguchi of Osaka University, says that his device, the Mimi Switch or Ear Switch, you can turn on and off your ipod by sticking out your tongue, can advance it foward by opening your eyes wide and go back one song by winking your right eye.
With this news story, there was video showing the device being controled by these movements. And frankly, it looked ridiculous.
Okay, now listen up people. It is bad enough that you i-tards walk around in public with your head buried in your little portable devices. The same little electronic devices that are ironically bringing our society's social existence to a halt. I firmly believe that in the near future people will be murdered on city streets in the full light of mid-day and no one will even know because they will have their i-buds in their ears and their "eyes" on their text messages. But now we have a device hitting the market that will make you look like a flirtatious cat person with digestive problems.
The cat person aspect is the on and off of the device. I see my cats do this when chorking up a hair ball, the tongue comes way out as they hurl. The flirtatiousness is from the winking. If anyone is actually looking around they will see you winking at them while going back one song. Careful their bubba, you just winked at an old church lady that hasn't been amorous since the Reagan administration. And the intestinal problem? Well I know for a fact that my eyes open wide when that three alarm chili finally hits the lower intestines.
Please Fox 8, please tell me this is all an April Fools Day ploy. Please tell me this will be a simple silly facination and will never really take hold. Then again, kids have been wearing their pants off their asses going on almost 20 years now. Who would have thought that fad would have lasted this long.

When Armageddon hits..
We all, once we meet someone, bracket them in our heads consciously or unconsciously into various categories. She is silly, he is stern with his children, they are all on drugs, and so on. With me, I often bracket people first into what would they do when Armageddon hits. Would they sit on the curb and cry until the living dead grabs them to eat or will they take to the hills and fight the alien invasion.
Will you hand craft a bow to hunt, or would you be forced to eat insects and grub? I would like to think I would have the resolve and moxie to keep on keeping on. To help repopulate the soon to be depleted Earth.
My advice to you. Put down your i-pod and i-phone, you i-tard, for a quick minute and get your head into it. What would you do if the end of days arrive? Have a plan. Think of who you would call, family and friends. Have an escaped route, work your way around the trouble. Zombies are easy to outthink, Aliens not so much and roaming hordes of maurading human gangs about midline.
Where would you go? My sister and brother and law have a ranch that they haven't sold yet in Oregon, I think we may make the long haul out there, through the back roads of course. But when we get out there we will have to deal with Bigfoot, but that is another story entirely.
Stay tuned...

So it begins...
"We live in a bloody swamp. We need all the land we can get."
This a blog huh? What does one say? What do you say when speaking to the world? Political opinions? Introspective musings? Thoughts on the hereafter or the supreme being? Paranormal experiences? Um, ...Yes. Not so much on the politics though and definitely not about work. Seems if you say something about where I work you can lose your job and quite abruptly at that. No speaky about worky, no no, need the job too much right now.
Stay tuned...
