Review of Odes,


an incentive to believe in god again
Star Rating - 3/20/2017
until i moved here i was beginning to lose faith. you would start believing in god too if you knew hell existed. odessa tx will make you pray for either a winning lottery ticket or a lightening bolt. if it wasnt for my high paying job i would have stayed in las vegas next to the park where gang members sold drugs and gun shots would ring out at night. I was at least safer there.

i was going to buy a home out here but i didnt believe that i should buy a house based on wanting to do only one job out here. there is no diversity in our local economy. it felt a lot less like an investment like the house i owned in irvine ca and more like i was buying a large oil stock. i backed out of escrow and never regretted it for a nanosecond. if i get a chance to earn odessa money in dallas tx as a human target or roadkill i am so out of here.


ps, i always wondered where the rich c students ended up as the semester progressed at my high school. thought they were just disappearing from seacliff on the greens for no reason. ahh how the wealthy love their offspring.

sometimes the death penalty is not always a bad thing. lucky bastards

Just moved out of an apartment 9/2018 $1,630 mo. For a one bedroom many apartments this size are around $1,200 month very very very high rent here because of supply and demand 3 year waiting list to have a home built cost of living is higher than HELL yes many local jobs available $15 but if you have no oil field experience you will start out at the bottom and many work 70-80 hrs week and when this boom busts it will happen over night leaving thousands scrambling to get the hell out of here like the bust in 1981
