The Five Things I Learned Last Week

I’m a lot of things; why should I choose to be only a few. I thirst for a variety of things; self improvement, adventure, peaceful relations, a better world and a career that continues to grow. I laugh at what bothers me as well as my own mistakes and at the stupidity of others. I am continually amazed at how little others truly think outside themselves. Than again, I’m pleasantly surprised when someone does something out of character. The world is full of surprises; some good, some bad. You can not expect too much from the world or others. You take the happy little moments when you can and you remember that you can only be held accountable for your own actions.

In my opinion, positive energy attracts negative energy. Maybe there is a legitimate scientific reason or explanation why or maybe it’s just part of my life experienced framework. However the simplest answer for me seems to be “why should they get what I don’t”?

Some people will never care what the truth is; it’s not nearly as interesting as what they believe something to be. As to whom I am; I don’t know yet, but I can’t wait until the end of the movie to find out. I hope I’m one of the bad gurls turned good, they always have the best parts in the movie.

Oil breaches $60 on supply concerns

U.S. crude oil rose 34 cents to $60.05 a barrel by 1723 GMT. It earlier hit a session peak of $60.42, the highest level since January 3.

London Brent crude was up 7 cents to $59.10.

"To stay above $60 on a sustainable basis would take some confirmation the Iranian situation is deteriorating further," said Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix.

Reduced supplies from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries have helped boost prices, which in January fell to a 20-month low of $49.90 for U.S. crude.

OPEC's overall exports in January fell by 200,000 barrels per day (bpd) from December, shipping data from Lloyd's Marine Intelligence Unit showed, bringing the group closer to its pledged supply cut of 1.2 million bpd from November.

The group's exports were expected to fall again in February with the implementation of a second OPEC cut of 500,000 bpd.
