Oil Explored

So we’ve all been hearing about how oil is supposed to go up.  In fact, I believe this to be somewhat true.  What I also believe is that since we have a surplus of oil anyway, it’ll not be for a while now.

Assuming that we had higher levels of reserves, higher than we had a year or two ago, we should also assume that the prices couldn’t be or shouldn’t be any different than then.  At the time, oil prices were in the mid to high 70’s.  Hence, we should have similar prices, if not lower…which we don’t.

You also have to take season into account.  If you had $70 prices in Winter and you had similar reserves, then the price of oil should be somewhere in the vicinity of $70, yet again.  The reason we are in the high $80’s to low $90’s is because of the weather in the Northeast.  You turn oil into a lot of different things:  gas, heating oil, et cetera.  And since the weather has been kind of drastic up North, there’s actually a demand for these things, hence, higher prices.  As Winter comes to a close; As Spring slowly dissipates; As Summer slowly creeps up on us, we should see those prices rise also.

I predict that for the next few months, we’ll teeter between $85 and $95.  I predict this mainly because there is a surplus of oil (not much but it’s there) and we are slowing heading into Summer.  Weather issues will surely increase the price of oil, especially if they can’t stay ahead of demand.  The predictions for the coming year are vague but clear enough to state that there will be extreme weather patterns.  Assuming that these extremes refer to higher than normal temperatures, then we have to assume that oil prices will rise.  The Summer should see prices above $100, front month.

Good luck.

Doomed to repeat…yada-yada-yada

I had to close my IRA today.  The guy was cool.  Penalties and what-nots.  I used to be worth more dead than alive.  I guess I’m not even worth anything dead.  It’s not the first time.  Guess if time repeats intself, it’s not the last time.

I’m almost done with my list of things to do today.  I guess that’s something positive to hold on to.  I guess I can hold on to cable for the rest of the week.  That’s a little perk I’ll give myself.

I applied to some Administrative positions in the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD.  I drove down to take the exam.  I passed the first part, failed the second part and typed 58 WPM (57 after errors calculated).  The second part had to deal with how to treat children; you know, classroom scenarios and stuff.  I don’t agree with the way they score that part of the test.  I’m going by the bookstore to pick up that PPR book they were telling me about.  The way I see it, if you have to study for that part of the test, you’ll learn it and not apply it.  What they should do is ask the individual why it is that he answered that question and then try to explain to him/her why the district wants something different.  Now, if the applicant said he wanted to eat babies and drink their blood…well…don’t call that person for an interview.

I hate growing up.  I hate responsibility.  I hate how you need to know someone who knows someone.

When all else fails…teach! 

What has become of me. I sit in this labyrnth, ashamed, destitute; fustrated beyond recourse at the shape of my life, and the direction of my future. Will I become what THEY were? Will I die the death of anguish, never to return to the heights I soared in before? I fear the mould has been cast.

I sit in this office and fear that my soul will evaporate into these walls.

Fuck the lies!

I did it!

Well, I’m not sure if I’ve told you all that I was a certified Process Server now, but I am, and today, I served my first citation.  It was cool.  So, if you ever need something served, let me know.

I’ve had a work of fiction out there in the world.  I think it’s a bad sign when those people that have been reading it, have stopped.  They can’t seem to finish it and they’ve been hushed about it.  I guess I’m not as good as I thought.  It’s usually a bad sign when people can’t finish a book.  Just remember…there are no refunds and all sales are final.  Sorry.

The Walking Dead, Season Two

Well that sucks ass!  Here I was, thinking that I was weeks away from seeing new episodes of The Walking Dead, only to be disappointed.  Turns out that the new episodes won’t be revealed till October of 2011.  Ten months away!  I’m not just sad, I’m fracking depressed.  I hope I get to see season two from the comfort of my own home.  It’s not looking good, though.
