The first of 2006...
Hi, Hey, Hello...

This is my first update of the new year and I hope everyone is having a good time thus far in 2006.

I have news (obviously, or I wouldn't be writing here, right)?

My news is this: I am now working for a company out in West Vancouver that designs websites from scratch, and they have trusted me with a big chunk of the day to day business at hand. I am not only supporting customers, but also handling a bit of the accounting, corporate bounty hunting, and new sales and accounts as well as designing.

Finally, I am being used to the fullest extent of my capability in a job that challenges me to be the best I can be every single day and that I enjoy doing. The commute is a bit of a pain (Highway 1 sucks ass btw), but when the sun shines off of the waters of the Pacific Ocean outside my office window, it makes it all worthwhile, provided the sun isn't blinding me or keeping me from seeing my computer screen that is.

Also, I have started reading "Jim Cramer's Real Money". It is a book about finding the trends in investing, doing your homework, looking for good companies to invest in and when to cash out, and knowing when to cash out and how to play the market to your advantage. you won't beat the market, but you can make it work for you. I recommend this book for anyone who has always been interested in the stock market but has always been afraid of it. This book will remove the fear of the market and show you that anyone can play, as long as you are smart about it.

Anyway, that is all I had to say right now...my Canucks have lost their third straight to the hated Red Wings as of the date of this message, and my observation on Canucks Hockey is this: "Being a Canucks fan is like being into sadomasochism, but without the good drugs or the sexual feelings...just a house of pain".

I am out, for now.

First, EA didn't chew me up and spit me out. They just didn't need me because there wasn't enough work for me to do over the winter months. It is a business, a coll business, but it is a business, and people get laid off. It happens.

I am being considerably careful with the market, running every one of my picks through a simulator just to see what is to be expected for 7 days with that stock before I even sink a dime into it. Of course, I haven't put in any money just yet, so when I do I hope my research and homework will pay off. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I love the canucks too, but I know that they are considerably better than they have been in the last three games they have played. I like Alexandre Burrows and I think he should be our next captain. The entire team needs to start grinding, wearing down opponents, hitting nything in an opposite-colored jersey and last but not least filling the net with holes like swiss cheese.

That is how you win a Cup, and that is the goal. The time is now.

PS, I haven't though about moving out to west van to shorten the commute, mainly because I don't make enough to even dream of living in that kind of area, with all of the Hummers, BMWs, and other such faire out there.

Someday though, someday, dare to dream, and go forward.
