Are mortgages the path to wealth?

One of my customers today encouraged me greatly to get into the mortagage industry. He told me he made buku buck off just one deal...what I would make in about 3 months he did in about 3 hours! That got me thinking about whether the meaning of life is money or just getting by with what you can do. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Another downer of a day

I guess I don't take bad news that easily. I'm still upset at yesterday's boondoogle of a repair job. The guy called me up today to say he didn't ship the parts out yet, I replied that he needed to send the whole unit back because of some serious problems. The kid told me he's call me back but he...

A bad day of problems

Today was not so good on the sliding scale that is life. The owner of my condo blew his financing deal and now might be loosing his condo (and my home) to another owner. Its doubtfull that he will raise the rent or kick me out, but still, there's that slight worry in my brain that things aren't... Sign in to see full entry.

I might be losing the roof over my head

I just got an official looking letter from a law firm the other day claiming to forclose on this property and putting it up for auction the next week. Can you imagine my shock at reading this letter! My best friend, if not close to my only friend, is my landlord. That guys has some major financial... Sign in to see full entry.

I saw that movie again and liked it even more

Sometimes cable tv is worth the price. Last night I was watching that incredible movie, "What the *bleep* do we know?". I started to watch it again and was reminded of why its so interesting. Few movies have the story-telling power to incorporate quantum mechanics with philosophy and a story line... Sign in to see full entry.

The Patriots blew it!

The Pats couldn't hold onto the ball, no matter who was holding it. Brady couldn't throw the passes, and Vinateri couldn't make the kick. What seemed like a sure thing just evaporated in the face of lucky plays and calls by the ref that so and so was inbounds. Everything fell apart for the Pats. My... Sign in to see full entry.

Inconsistent government forms

I'm a little miffed today about going down to the federal building in Boston and having to wait through all that rigermorle and then being told that they only accept money orders. The website where I got my original information was erroneous in telling me that I could use checks. What's crazy is... Sign in to see full entry.

I keep losing stuff and its expensive!

Yesterday, I figured out that I'd permanently lost my passport and other documents that I need for my trip to Mexico. So tomorrow, I have to get to Boston and hit the federal building there, filing so and so paperwork to get another one. This sucks. I keep thinking, in the back of my mind, that...

A tough virus to kill

About: blank is giving me nightmares. I just spent 3 hours with a client trying to get rid of that virus without any success. The only thing we did was isolate a whole bunch of other viruses and then it came back again...hijacking the entire browser. I found it a big mess, and I felt a bit helpless....

People love you when you can do something for them

I know it may sound naive, but the world works a certain way, and I only figured it out until recently. My friend, who extinguished his life often said that about the world and lamented his role in the whole business. The business of life is business. The folks that can successfully work in a...

About this Blog

This is the rant an' rave side of my brain that I'm posting to release some tension. Decades ago, I would've had to be streaking in the nude downtown before I got some relief. It's good for you folks that you don't have to see that. That's why there's this blog.
