Nuttin like da sound of a frac!

Yes by I tell ya there's nothing like the sound of 10 frac pumpers running all at once, driving millions of liters of water mixed with about 400 tonnes of sand down into a hole in the ground at 3 in the morning.

Not many of us have had the pleasure of hearing 28 tractor trailer engines roaring to their limit in a collective effort to push a slurry of mud and acid into the ground at over 6500 PSI. It's quite an awesome spectical, the noise is deafening the raw power is incomprehensible and the nerves are on edge.

Many pieces of pipe with a burst rate of 15000 PSI are linked together connected to pumpers creating a brutally crushing amount of pressure down these lines. You'd swear you can feel the earth beneath you shake. The wind roaring up the fine sand off the belts making it look like a blizzard at times, the fine grit in your teeth, the sand sticking to the sweat on your brow makes for an unforgettable experience. Watching the pipe shake on the ground like only frac pipe does. You could almost ride the pipe at times it seems - it shakes so much.

Licking my lips now brings more grit into my teeth, glad I'm not out there now in that storm of blowing sand, echoed by the sound of the exhaust clapper hitting the exhaust pipe over and over again as the tractors give it all they have. The smell of diesel exhaust, like the sound of the machinery and tractor's engines revving pierces everything around you and yet, oddly enough there are hundreds of field mice scurrying about everywhere.

Anyone Can!

I'm a fan of beautiful women, plain and simple. If I could, I would be surrounded by beautiful people all day long.

If you've been on the internet this year you've probably noticed various advertisements featuring the face of a beautiful woman. She's actually a french journalist whom I think is absolutely beautiful. In fact she's been voted "the world's most beautiful news reporter", "TV's sexiest news anchor" as well as "the most beautiful woman in the world".

I decided to post several pictures so you can see just how beautiful she is, as one single photo doesn't really do her justice. You may recognize her from ads on the internet or from magazines.



She's quite the looker!

Her name is Melissa Theuriau and she's my age. I consider her to be my peer, based only on age of course. However, when I see such a beautiful woman I oft wonder if her and I could possibley be a couple or would she ever go out with me. Call me an idealist but I believe we are all on a level playing field. So I decided to check her out on wikipedia - you know - to see what she's up to. To help me figure out whether or not I have a chance with this very attractive woman of the same age.

Well it seems I'm too late, she already has someone. She is in fact married and has a child with an unlikely fellow - I say this because he's not exactly a sports superstar or the hottest celebrity. He has however attained a celebrity in his own right. He's an actor, comedian and a producer in France. He even has a physical handicap. As a teenager he was struck by a speeding train which resulted in the loss of use in his right arm. His name is Jamel Debbouze

Here is a picture of Him and his Beautiful wife.




As you can see from the picture his arm is lame, and has atrophied quite a bit. This guy has an obvious handicap, and one in which is visable to all. Some people would call him a freak, others would be grossed out by this, and yet we have a woman - considered my many to be the most beautiful woman in the whole wide world - by his side.


This fella is very successful at what he does despite any misgivings regarding his inability to use his arm. In many pictures his hand is placed in a pocket so as not to draw attention. I know myself I would be pretty apprehensive about going anywhere if I had such a condition, yet he doesn't let any of this discourage him.


Here's a pic of both of them out for a jog.

Again, looking at this picture, his is an obvious handicap, yet at his side is one of the most beautiful women in the world. Although as years have passed by I'm sure he has gotten less and less conscious of it, when you're out in public jogging people still look and people still point but he lives his life like any other.

This I find very touching. He doesn't have the ability to put his arm around her, so she does it for him. She is so content and at peace in his arms and it's obvious looking at her face.

She could care less in this moment, for her this is a full man, and so he is. When his arms are around her the handicap isn't even there. This relationship is between a man with a handicap and a beautiful woman who doesn't even consider it.

Let this example be a message to anyone who fails to get past their handicap. One of the most beautiful women in the world and the guy who caught her. He is handicapped but it didn't stop him from getting the attention of such a stunning woman.
