Okay Mr Alex Epstein
You make this easy for me, this is an insanely long news article of opinions. All about Oil, about how solar and wind energy are to his mind useless ventures, now I know that people successful off the grid on both solar and wind energy and he states how much land it takes for wind energy, yes this is true, and it speaks about the addiction, the article starts off right, saying how we are not addicted, how it does not have to be an addiction. The article then goes through several points about how oil isn't finite, they we keep find new ways to process it, and that other vegetable oils and such are worthless and a worthless venture. after reading all this and reading all about how alternative tech is useless and how worthless electric and hybrid cars are, which kinda they are, still using oil either through gasoline, or plugging in.
what happened to our water powered car?

Happy New Year
What are your resolutions? mine.. attempt to loose some weight, and get a better job, sounds simple right? my current bad job and my weight go hand in hand it seems since I do not make enough to afford the healthy food I want to eat, and I am in easy access to bad non healthy food. Either way I am at work, and here until 2 am tonight, so everyone enjoy some fireworks for me.
Television
What shows are on your list of daily watch? not much on mine, when I do catch some Tv, I like conspiracy theory with Jesse Ventura from this show I don't honestly think he is finding anything out about the world that is relate-able in fact. He is pretty much finding things stated within star enquirer and globe. there is another conspiracy show I have been watching on the history channel, I do not know the name but it is worse than Jesse. the facts are put in favor of nothing being amiss and that the government tells all. They work towards saying that there is nothing wrong with the world.
With these shows, and then more and more websites supporting other sites and foundations like wikileaks, do not think that there is possibly something wrong with the world.

Book review Survive!
Okay, I have said I will do product reviews, know hows, and such. Time to review a book I read before starting this blog. Survive! Essential Skills and Tactics to get you out of anywhere alive. by Les Stroud.
Now First I will say, I like this guy, to me he is smart on his survivor man shows, and I like his filming, as in being alone, that said, I don't like Canada speak in book form. Sorry Canadians. Most of this book related back to things you can learn just by watching his show, it did finally show how to make a figure 4 dead fall with some detail that he always speaks about in his shows. It is a good travel copy of 3 seasons of survivorman, and his one episode of urban disasters. Plus the stranded series he did to start up survivorman for the networks.
The book does have good tips, he is worth the read, but always do not just listen to one guide for all information, he also makes many references for everyplace he goes he consults local survival experts, something we all wont have if we were to get stranded in remote locations. it would mainly be book research like we would try to be doing with this book. I wouldn't call it an all knowing guide to survival, but it does have some tips tricks and opinions, like much hate for the the lean to shelter, why the hate Les?
I give it a 3 out of 5, I need to read more survival books honestly, this one didn't keep me that interested that I couldn't put the book down, but I did finish it.
Reading more books and reviewing more will come with time but money is tight like always for those with dead end jobs making it through life.
Also note, the leaving pages in the back of the book for tender was creative.

I was attempting to not be bias on this review because I do like Les and his show, I like that even with having a show he is slow going, he is alone out there and takes care of himself, unlike Bear Grills who runs in headlong with no rhyme or reason to us the viewers, and he just works to make a good show rather than show someone how to survive, he shows ya just how to die faster.

Returnith
I really do not feel as if I have missed much, so that means my good people, you have not missed much from my own comments.
It snowed on Christmas, the first white Christmas in North Carolina since 1947, and honestly first white Christmas for many states and cities for a good many years, I hear for Atlanta this is a first in 128 years. With all this snow I far too realize that people in North Carolina do not know how to drive in any condition, I worked all day today out driving, and the roads were quite clear, you see the snow was a fine powered snow, it sticks to the ground and did also to the roads, but it did nothing to make them slick, that is ice. We have not seen ice yet this year and maybe tonight the melted snow will bring ice, but I doubt it. It baphles me that someone seemingly prepared for the weather driving a hummer or a large SUV would be driving slow to the point it annoys me, knowing they can handle the road at a higher speed when I am only in a front wheel drive sports car.
enough about the weather, I have enjoyed my holiday, I didn't really see much in the way of presents, thats fine, I was given money, money is always good, it can be put forth useful things. I enjoyed giving presents to my new inlaws and watching them play.
During my break I believe some may have noticed my presence on twitter, I have an auto post for my blog, however I can access it from my phone, so I put a twitter feed on the blog to display. follow and comment and such, here there and everywhere, also take some time and rewatch the walking dead, I did.
QOTD What prepper stock should I get with the money?

Saturday News post, I need a slogan for it or something
First story, Korea, good, bad, north, and south. lets see, south Korea doing firing tests, north Korea thinking this is a war effort, and now north Korea jumping further on the war issue, I think we have been here before. lets hope this time we stay out of it, but what am I saying the USA lives to fight other peoples battles for them.

Snow. Okay this time it isn't in NC, it was suppose to snow today, I kinda missed it, wanted it, hoped for it, it failed me, so its snowing in Europe, apparently this is odd weather for them this early too!

Did your childhood suck? were you abused, beated, sexually abused at one point in your life? your not alone, as an adult or a child really. welcome to the world of why the world sucks and why if you aren't abused at home then you are at school or work.

Fat kids multiply we blame the schools, Okay so schools are letting our fat kids opt out of P.e. and well I do believe this requires a parental consent form we are still blaming the schools for it. when I was a kid I played outside riding my bike around in circles and I stayed skinny, I did not gain weight until I moved and got cable Television. P.e did not do much to help me with my weight because at my size then I wasn't big enough to do a pull up, I did not have the muscle build I was just skinny, if you want to complain about the lack of P.e then it should attempt to be effective in the first place.
