Mommie Loves Me

Since I have never given of myself, and circumstances for me are alot more reflective of my first post, I figure this is a pretty accurate description of who I am. No names have been changed. All of the people mentioned have contributed to who I am. And by the way, all credit to the songwriter, S.Carter, who is the greatest rapper who ever lived.

And of course her too - there's nothin I won't do
Unless you was me, how could you judge me?
I was brought up in pain, y'all can't touch me
Police pursued me, chased cuffed and subdued me
Talked to me rudely; cause I was young, black and unruly
and now its like I live in a movie, livin by rules
New day running the city, follow my crews
Speed you're still with me - nigga what did I say?
The time is comin; we’re 1 Mill(ion) away

to make the transition, from school to the game

U.S.A.!

You Are 79% American

You're as American as red meat and shooting ranges. Tough and independent, you think big. You love everything about the US, wrong or right. And anyone who criticizes your home better not do it in front of you!

How American Are You?

Gee, I figgered I was only 'leven...Who knew?

I guess I am more mature than I thought. Though I'll still be picking up my copy on the Half Blood Prince at 12:01 am. Us teens can do that, right? Though I am a power mad individual.

My inner child is sixteen years old!

Life's not fair! It's never been fair, but while
adults might just accept that, I know
something's gotta change. And it's gonna
change, just as soon as I become an adult and
get some power of my own.


How Old is Your Inner Child?

London attack drives oil lower?!?!? How?!?!?

Terrorists bomb London! It is rightfully the lead story of the day, and covered at length across the spectrum. Lashawn does a good job rounding everyone up, and I recommend a stop over there.

What I want to address is the “mystery” surrounding the drop in oil prices. I have heard repeatedly that this is the oil market’s irrational response to the London attacks—but is it irrational at all?

Why would oil go sharply lower in the wake of an Arab attack? Looking at the matter from a simple economic standpoint, the price of oil is determined by the supply relative to the demand for it. Thus if supply were to be threatened, and demand for oil stayed constant, there would be a rise in price; the relative value of the oil itself. It would, at first blush, seem logical that the future price of oil would shoot upward, given that terrorism implies instability in the oil rich Middle Eastern region.

But, and this is a "but" of “J-lo proportions,” oil futures went lower. This my friends, is not irrational market moves. Very rarely does the market more irrationally, due mainly to the fact that those who have enough resources to case any effect on the market are so vested in it that only rational speculation controls it. In fact, our markets move irrationally mostly when the common investor, you and I, enter it with exuberance. And were there to be a flood of buyers of oil futures, the price would shoot upward, again supply and demand.

The answer dear friends, in my humble opinion, is that oil shoot lower today, and will continue to do so, quite simply because one of three things will result from this madness; either (1) allied forces will redouble their focus on the oil producing countries- more troops- more money- more involvement; (2) oil rich countries in Africa and South America will be aided to increase their export, thus increasing the overall supply and driving down prices; or (3) a combination of both.

In any of these three situations, Arab markets will be somewhat marginalized. This, dear friends is what we should have been doing all along. You want to bite the hand that feeds you, ok, then you’ll get the stick. I love geo-politics.
