new career in a new town

dealbreaker.com is a great website. this headline is classic. it's not like the onion, where stories are hilarious, but false. these stories/events are real, with a sarcastic, funny spin.

the case for buying oil stocks is solid. this recent crash is just screaming for a major buy-in. you can get these stocks dirt cheap. oil will rebound hard and when it does: payday!!

if you have a financial investor, fire them. trust me, unless they are warren buffet (even he's sucking hard right now) they don't know more than you. they cannot predict the future. because they're so deep in the business, they're probably following trends that they recently overheard at some convention or worse, they're pushing stocks on you that make them money, not you. fire them and throw a dart at a stock chart. you'll do just as well or better.

walmart has a new ceo. and they have patio furniture on sale this week.

i can't believe i understand this and find it funny.

another review of the chinese democracy. i'm obsessed with this album.

good luck this weekend. have fun. don't forget where you live.

the mouth breather

i just got off the phone with a woman who seriously was ingesting the phone while i was talking to her. there was so much deep breathing, that i felt the hot air coming through the phone receiver. she must have just gone up 40 flights of stairs or maybe ran from one side of the road to the other in a wild attempt to disrupt passing motorists. whatever she was doing, she now has a phone in her trachea.

we keep hearing about obama's new deal. but about the old new deal? we know it was FDR who birthed it. but what was it? go here.

oil is below $50.00 a barrel. that is absolutely incredible considering that a few months ago it was up over $150.00. this is a clear indication of a slowing of production. companies are ordering less, requiring less shipping. that includes trucks and boats. people are driving less. less goods are being produced. this is absolutely wild.

indicators are indicating bad things happening.

here is chart charting global deflation.

here are five things you can do to hopefully reduce/limit your exposure to alzheimers. one of them is to take fish oil. there are a lot things that are supposedly good for you that become popular fads. fish oil is constantly promoted in various publications as an amazing ingredient for your body and i believe this one. i've read enough about it that it's not something i can poke holes through. it seems legit. i've been taking it for about a year or two now. i also take magnesium and a normal multivitamin. by taking these things now, i'm hoping i won't have to take twenty pills later.

the clouds are nice

more reviews for the chinese democracy. i won't believe this thing exists until i see it with my own two eyes. i always like the more ambitious side of guns and roses. songs like "estranged" and "november rain." those songs were epic. the changed themes, they had plots, they were these huge productions. i hope the chinese democracy is something like that. or, it's just axl eating a corn dog for 60 minutes. that would be the best gag ever.

speaking of albums, i just listened to kelley stoltz's "below the branches." that album has got to be one of the top 15 best albums i've ever heard. every song is an instant classic. i knew the guy was good, but this is amazing. anyone who actually reads this, do me a favor and go to the hype machine and listen to it. it's really, really, really freakin' good.

are there really pirates still out there? that is amazing. apparently they do not partake of the old pirate garb. gone are the peg-legs, the talking birds and the swords. these pirates have no imagination. just a lot of money.

should we raise the gas tax to eliminate future spikes?

thanksgiving is only a day and a week away. i can't wait.

me and my arrow

hope everyone had a good weekend.

here are some signs that the bear market is over.
