Self Motivating and Gratifying Self

Since April 1st of this year, I have been working from home, making and losing money in the volatility and insanity that is the global equity markets. It's a blast, thanks for asking.

Memorial Day Prayer

Memorial Day is tomorrow.  In many ways this subtle holiday is a day of thanks, thanks to all the soldiers that fought and died in wars representing this once great nation.  In a way, that can seem sad.  <p>But to heck with sad.  We've no time for sad.  This is America and we got stuff to do.  </p>

My Friend Trouble

<p><strong>Lara</strong>:  How you been?<br /><strong>Me</strong>:  Staying out of trouble.<br /><strong>Lara</strong>:  Trouble rides shotgun when you drive.  <br /><strong>Me</strong>:  Okay, so I got into a little trouble... <br /> 

May First

<p><img class="photo" src="/files/u2/bin-laden-celebration.jpg" alt="People waving an American flag at night following the death of Osama bin Laden" width="200" height="148" />Osama Bin Laden <br />And his wife<br />Had children <br />Like many of us, I suppose. </p><p>Osama Bin Laden <br />Did his research <br />And knew a lot<br />That the U.S. needed to know. </p>

<p>Normal?<br />Well I believe that normal is a state of being plain<br />Which is generally frowned upon<br />Within the higher ranks.  </p><p>"This world has a way <br />Of knowing what you mean.  <br />I on the other hand,<br />Don't understand a thing you're saying man."</p>

The Papers to Prove It

<p>People get married out of fear sometimes<br />Because they cannot afford the cost <br />Of this project known as life. <br /><br />Problems compound. <br />Formulas espouse. <br />Theories are put forth<br />And moved backwards<br />Like pieces on a chessboard. <br /><br />And in the name of the bride and groom<br />We ask that you please visit their registry

<p>Love<br />Or hate<br />Each other<br />Just long enough to <br />Feel<br />Something;<br />Anything more than the soft carpet <br />Of the living room<br />And the hard tile<br />Of the dining room<br />And the sugary wonder of the specialty drinks<br />And anyway here <br />We have a nice <br />View of the sea.</p><p>See.</p>

You Know (at Berkeley)

You don't see the sunshine <p>On cloudy</p><p>Rainy</p><p>Days.  </p><p>But you knew that.  </p><p>And you know you knew that.  </p><p> </p><p>The board of directors,</p><p>The staff parish,</p><p>The county jailers,</p><p>They cannot change the weather.  </p><p> </p><p>(They can, however, buy umbrellas and quit complaining.)</p><p> </p><p>God doesn't even have enough money </p>
