Thoughts about peace on the waterfront.

Not long after the trading day, just after I finshed up designing a few pages for the charity I have been helping out with, I decided to go out for a walk. Things were starting to clear up outside and I am right on the waterfront right across from the Seattle Aquarium.
I walk outside, ah [...]

Morning Schedule:

Yesterday I started really reading Leo Balbauta’s blog ZenHabits after continued advocation of it by a friend of mine. Its a good blog, really good. Lots of quality stuff in there – amidst a lot of stuff. Maybe that will keep me busy sorting through it all though.
Reading this blog did two things for me. First, [...]

Moral of the story: why wait

The point of my last post is simple and concise despite my round about way of getting to it: if you want to be doing more than you currently are; move you ass and start doing it now. If you don’t know how to get started, don’t let other things in life distract you until [...]

Why wait?

I was having a real (not the hey whats up sort of bullshit) conversation with a friend of mine last night. He works at Red Robins, doesn’t know I have this blog, but knows I have my shit together. He was in that depressed state that people find themselves in when they work a 9 [...]

363 days ago to date:

My birthday, a year ago, I think I went out to dinner with my family, to the Tamarind Tree. I don’t think, I’m pretty sure of it now, but I did have to think about it. Not the ‘it seems like only yesterday’ feeling at all. So much has happened since then, so much has [...]

How the hell….

…am I going to make a million dollars this next year? It is seriously daunting. I am scared. That is a stupid large sum of money. 1 million divided by 365 comes out to $2740 dollars a day – which means that I don’t want to calculate how much a day that will be if I take [...]

1 in 1,000,000^******? Thats me.

I hate long math problems. Even if the math is simple, the act of computing numbers over and over again has just never appealed to me. I don’t think I have done my own math homework since 6th grade. I took calculus in 11th. Yes, that second fact is in there just to make me [...]

I’m back

I am not sure from where, but I am back. Once I missed one day, I guess I decided to go on vacation or something. From blogging, not doing stuff. I plan to try and blog at least 5 days out of each week.
Since last time: Most of my focus lately has been upon trading [...]

Another step

Mexico vs China tonight. I will be there. Call it a step forward – gotta keep my life balanced.
