American History XL

Where do you fit in…? Are you living history… or watching it happen… Does it really matter that 3 Hotels were bombed today in Jordan… Chances are you will never know of or meet anybody that was affected by it… are you sure…? Can you learn anything by watching these events unfold on CNN…? Did a Sioux Indian take notice when a Muslim astrologist figured out that you can use the stars to navigate the seas…? Of course not… But if he could, he probably could have started generations of thought about the possibility of explorers heading his way… and prevented the loss of his ways… so maybe you should pay attention… the choice is yours…
Meetings…
Boy oh Boy… I hate meetings… next time you are involved in a meeting please take heed of how productive they are… I can almost guarantee that only 10% of the time is actually on the topic… the rest is side bar discussions… or somebody not prepared asking questions to keep up… A meeting is suppose to be a grouping of people that actually have a reason to participate in a topic… Other wise call it a briefing or a lesson… You know who I blame… It is the person who calls the meeting… If you call a meeting together make sure you set yourself up for success… Not only will you get more out of it… you will gain the respect of your peers for not wasting their time… You must be like a composer… Guiding the Chellos and the flutes into a productive sound… otherwise you get a couple of crappy notes and bad music… Make sure you bring in the write types of instruments/people that actually belong there… Don’t just have an all call and make everyone go because you are too lazy to put effort into a meeting… Time is precious… takes away from work and more important my blog… why do you think the previous blog was put out at a weird time… CUZ SOMEBODY HERE CALLED A F’N MEETING AFTER A POST MEETING’S MEETING… you wanna see a pissed off Jaramillo…? Waste his or her time… guaranteed to make us curse the ground that holds you up… So take this lesson to heart… respect other’s time and make the effort… it will sound better…
As you can tell today was an office day… Just prepping for a busy week next week… M-Lo the wonder boy is dry cleaning his cape and I need to wax my legs... better yet eat a korean cookie...

By the way... the oil is still in dire straights... hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for it... In Shallah... When oil starts percolating up through the soil like this...

and you know a pipeline runs right about there... it can't be good... and this is a small leak... mmm it smells good... nothing like fine crude to open the nostrils... well here is a lil oil knowledge I am about to drop on you unlike gas prices... You have all heard of Texas Tea... Sweet Crude... you know the stuff Jeb has... Sweet Crude is crude oil that is ready for the refinery... not too many impurities... unlike the Crude that is in this country... Sour Crude... and no you don't put them together to get Sweet and Sour Crude... Sour Crude has high SO2 content that is corrosive and just plan bad for the refining bizzznass... you they pull out the sulfer to make useable crude... You can see huge piles of sulfer all over this place.. nasty smelly sulfer... like rotten eggs... you gotta love this country...

Have you ever heard of wedding porn...? Well this lady is the Ron Jeremy of wedding porn...

Let us call her Mysteria R-dl... Another office mate in ths kooky place we like to call iraq... Currently engaged to a man that forbids the use of all Q-tips... While she is not solving the economic woes of this country she looks at "wedding porn." I tend to think that women get infected with the weddinphylus diesease that effects the brain into only one train of thought... Weddings and how they can tell everyone about them... I was scolded earlier today by a Major for alluding to a wedding thus causing the diesease to go into full effect... She will have a interesting wedding in an interesting location... for that is goal I think we all shall strive for... So I wish them well in the planning stage and execution phase of their wedding (like that speak...?) ... I am sure it will be awesome and worth the effort put into it... Just keep those magazines away from M-Lo and I... actually after 2 months of this mess the pictures are starting to look better... psst the Vera Wang dress is sooooooooo adorable... uhhh

p.s. did you read the previous blog...? HEY LEE AND MELENA! Your Posts were accidently deleted from this blog... SORRY!

We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
