Global Warming - A Fools Guide to Deception

The world will never learn. In case all of you have forgotten, because others have, let me remind you that the world was flat for a long time. I also grew up being taught that Pluto is the smallest planet. Just recently has it been demoted to a star but astronomers have made up for it by discovering a new planet light years away with possible life form (somebody is bored out of their mind). Well, my ancestors were apes, weren't they? History continues to repeat itself.
According to the same group of people (yes, they're still around) who for centuries believed the world was flat, we came from apes, and Pluto was a planet, we are now to believe that mother nature has lost complete control and the world is slowly cooking itself. Actually, not slowly but rapidly. In the "millions" of years the earth has been around, just in the last couple of decades has the earths temprature decided to rise when for "millions" of years have volanoes spewed more crap into our atmosphere than man could ever dream to match. I'm sorry, we, humans more powerful than mother nature, are cooking the world. Humans have gained control over mother nature and are destroying this planet that cows have passed gas in for thousands of years (cow gas = methane- is considered to be a contributor to global warming, just as harmful as car exhaust).

I have always been fascinated with the human mind. It's amazing to see the things that humans can accomplish through skill and talent. It's even more interesting to see what we can do knowing that humans use only 5-10% of their brain capability. But its even more embarrasing what the human mind can conceive. Never have I been this embarrassed that one could fathom things like global warming and place in human care an actual earth whithout any consideration of its Creator whose earth it is. The philosophies of men (with only 5-10% of their brain power) have discovered a problem that God Himself has lost control over. It's amazing that in a universe full of order and in a sense, perfection, the little earth we live in, of all other planets, had to be the one going down the crap shoot. Man, aren't we in the wrong place at the wrong time! But, thanks to people like Al Gore who tirelessly worked on a movie to show us Mother Nature going through its natural courses does it become clearly evident that God has lost control. Thanks Al. You sure are a smarter than God. Isn't it ironic that the symbol of the democratic party is an ass? Al represents them well. Whoever picked that must have seen something coming. Well, needless to say, all of this hub-bub will not matter (not that it does now). My counsel, amidst this highway to deception, is to keep your eyes glued to the person who's opinions and words matter most - Gordon B. Hinckley. As much as the adversary is trying to distract the world into mindless deceptions, don't take your eyes off of good'ol GBH and the coming of our Savior!

Jeep Safari '07

I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever make a habit out of this. I can't believe that my last post was over a month ago. I apologize to all my fans. Thank you for waiting so patiently. So, Lindsey and I, and the Fowles had a GREAT time in Moab for the Jeep Safari. I couldn't have had a better time. Except, all of us agreed that this year attracted more white trash than normal. The condo was a lot of fun (thanks Blake). We're all excited to go down again. In case some of you didn't know, I'm a huge Jeep fan. I tell my wife sometimes that I would like to take my last breath behind the wheel of my Jeep with her in the bucket seat. We attend the Jeep Safari every year and make it down to Moab at other times throughout the year which is a Jeepers heaven. There is a lot of trails to do here along the Wasatch Front. I hope to do at least 3 new trails this summer. So far, for the Moab trails, I've done Hells Revenge (my favorite), Porcupine Rim (Lindsey's least favorite), Fins-n-Things, Poison Spider, Porcupine 4x4, X-Road, and baby Lionsback. I have been at times a bit hesitant to do some of the other trails since Lindsey and I have to drive our Jeep back home, but next year, I hope to have a truck to haul it down so I can do the more daring. Well, I celebrated my 26th birthday this last Thursday. Speaking of birthdays, Lindsey and I are going to be celebrating a new little birthday some time around the beginning of December. Yes, Lindsey is pregnant. We are both very excited and can't wait. She has already begun to buy things in preparation. We haven't thought of any names yet that we both can agree on, so if you have any cool names (they have to be cool), then let us know.

Something You Probably Didn't Know

So, I'm in a professional band called Johnny and the Rebels. It is a lot of fun and in a small way, a dream come true. I was just about to go into some detail about the band but remembered in fact that I just finished creating our website which is now available at www.johnnyandtherebels.com. This week is our grand opening! Go check it out and learn more about who we are. I bet ya'll didn't know that about Ben.

You know, I was thinking earlier today if you all knew what it was I do for my occupation. I thought I'd settle the matter since I'm tired of hearing all kinds of rumors ranging from being a pig farmer to organized crime. I am actually a market education consultant for a company called Spread Trade Systems. We specialize in investment education dealing primarily in stocks and options. Let me put it this way: I absolutley love what I do. I basically consult investors all over the world with what it is they are missing and what it is they can do to better their results. Yes, there has definitely been a long and never ending learning curve, but my career has proven to already be invaluable. Not only has economics basically become my profession, but I'm learning a great deal about how to make money in the stock market which has brought a significant value to my career and aspirations in life. When I was younger, I often thought what my career would be like. I never imagined it would involve the stock market.

You can visit the company website, www.spreadtradesystems.com, and learn a great deal more about what I do. So, if you're into investing and need help, or if you're considering getting into the market, consider me a contact. This may be a bit premature, but I'm actually writing a book about what I've learned thus far. It's called "What I Wish I Would Have Known Before I Dumped My Money Into The Market." In short, you can refer to it as "My Money in the Market." It's basically a collection of everything I've learned and gathered from conversations I've had with my coaches in our program and indiviudal investors from all over the world. I thought about one day approaching Uncle Steve and Aunt Jan about publishing it, but it has a lot of work ahead of it. Well, until next time...

Introduction

It's funny that after all this time I am finally able to speak my mind and voice loudly my opinion to an unknown, if at all existing, audience without having to worry about publicly embarassing my beautiful wife, Lindsey. In fact, this could very well be an answer to her prayers. Here I will release my feelings, vent my frustrations, attempt to humor, force my opinions, and call people names.

I also wish to take advantage of this opportunity to really share what does happen in my life since I find it to be quite entertaining, adventerous, and in popular demand (yes, there is also sarcasim). This could very well be the beginning of my writing career (I'm working on a couple of books...really!), and my political career (I wish to be president someday).

May this be the beginning of a wonderful blog future. Until next time...
