Jennifer Odom

I awoke this morning from a bizarre dream. I was in this house looking for my second hat (I had one but it was the second one I was looking for). The house was empty and I was going through this house and in the back bedroom I walked in and this 5 – 6 year old, dark haired girl was in the bed. I was puzzled and asked was she staying home by herself and she said, yes. I asked her name and she responded “Jennifer Odom”.  I carried on looking for my hat wondering why that name sounded familiar.

The name sounded familiar but I couldn’t place it. When I awoke I Google it to find out she was the missing / murdered girl from 20 years ago. I’ve been trying to figure out all day why my subconscious mind brought her into my memories. I was still living in Orlando and wasn’t even around and never heard of Pasco County at the time. I didn’t come over until the “No Name Storm” of 1993, which happened in March.  Did I see something or hear something 20 years ago that my subconscious mind it trying to bring forward or did I just recently read and article about the police department opening up the ‘cold case files’. I don’t know what it was but I’ll be scratching my head for days thinking about it. My wife mentioned maybe it’s her trying to tell me something? But why me?

Maybe it was just to type this blog today? The person will read it and turn themselves in. The Lord does work in strange ways that we’re not meant to understand.

I pray that someday they find the person who is responsible and bring them to JUSTICE!

Our Brass Owl

owlThis little brass owl came from my grandmother who died in 1989. I know she has it at least from 1978, I’m unsure how many years before that she had it. So I can confirm that it’s been in the family at least 35 years, probably more like 45 years. When my son was born in 1998 he carried it around with him for some reason. I told him when I pass away it’s his to pass along to someone in his family. It’s the stupid little things in life that we treasure. This is one of my personal treasures that I have.

I don’t offer sissy friendships…

Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship.

DSC000201. When you are sad ~ I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.

2. When you are blue ~ I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3 When you smile ~ I will know you are thinking of something that I would probably want to be involved in.

4. When you are scared ~ I will rag on you about it every chance I get until you’re NOT.

5. When you are worried ~ I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining.

6. When you are confused ~ I will try to use only little words.

7. When you are sick ~ Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don’t want whatever you have.

8. When you fall ~ I will laugh at your clumsy ass, but I’ll help you up.

9. This is my oath …. I pledge it to the end. ‘Why?’ you may ask ~ because you are my friend.

Some Pet Peeves

1.   Whenever anyone says “Ya, know what I’m sayin”… (I really don’t most of the time)

2.   Using speaker phones in public areas at work. (I really don’t care what you have to say)

3.   Couples that own a dog together and call themselves mommy and daddy. (I’m I the only one who finds this weird)

4.   People who take forever to order food while I’m in line. (WTF… order already!)

5.   When you order a salad at a restaurant and they bring it to you at the same time as your dinner. (tip just went down)

6.   People you play on their phones while in a conversation with me. (That is just rude) 

7.   People who throw cigarette butts out their car windows (let me shit in your floorboard) 

8.   People who honk in front of a house instead of getting out of the car and ringing the doorbell (is it really that hard to knock) 

9.   People who always cry broke but are constantly doing things (I guess there is more than one definition of being broke)

10. People who make out / fondle in public. (I can watch porn in private or make a good movie and send it to me)

Beer Review

P1040800I’ve been doing a beer review on my YouTube channel but have gotten several weeks behind. Maybe I need to try and catch up on a few reviews. Does anyone actually care or watch the reviews? It does give me a chance to taste a lot of new beers …LOL

EDGE was an Awesome beer… but then again most beers are awesome when they are free!

Mark Twain…

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Please stop the Zimmermans racial discrimination…

It’s Zimmerman who is being discriminated against, from the way I see it.

Did I miss something? Trayvon attacked Zimmerman (yes Zimmerman was following him) was beating his head in the ground when he was shot. How much more self-defense is there? Black – White – Hispanic has nothing to do with it? One person attacked another and the person being attacked defended themselves… tragic but self-defense.

“Asked on NBC’s Today if he thought race was a factor in his son’s death, Martin responded: “Obviously, any time you have a person that makes an assumption that a person is up to no good, there is some type of profiling.””

Was he profiled, yes. For good reason, look at his record. The kid was stoned and looking suspicious.

“Was he racially profiled? I think that if Trayvon had been white, this wouldn’t have ever happened. Obviously race is playing some type of role.”

So all white and Spanish people are out to get black kids? How absurd is that. Race was never an issue to anybody till Zimmerman was found innocent. What does he think White boys/men don’t get shot and killed? I think more whites get killed that blacks.

Fulton told NBC that the case is “sending a terrible message to other little black and brown boys — that you can’t walk fast, you can’t walk slow. So what do they do? I mean, how do you get home without people knowing or either assuming that you’re doing something wrong? Trayvon wasn’t doing anything wrong.””

Really… How much more stupid could that have sounded?

The DC Decoder asked, “Why did Obama speak out on Trayvon Martin now? ” 

To stir up racial tensions maybe. Him, Al, Jesse, and  Holder (Obama puppet) all seem to be playing the black card. How did the white race get involved anyway? The was a black / Hispanic issue.

The other thing is how does “Stand Your Ground” Law effect any of this… it was Self-Defense?

Well gun sales have increased and so has concealed weapons carry. More people are away of how often someone is attacked than ever before.

I pray for the Martin family so they can bring closure and have some peace. Loosing a child has to be worst thing that could happen to someone. – God Bless the entire family.
