We are all Keynsians on the way down.
Keynes, government regulation and even a little socialism definitely had it's time. There was a general malaise with pure market economies after the pure hands off approach that did little to help anyone during the Great Depression, leading to Facism and WWII... the government directed the economy during the war and people wanted some of that direction...

5 accounts. Two Roth IRA's, one Traditional IRA, 401K and a standard Brokerage account. I only crawled out of my debt hole about a year or so ago and have been building these accounts up since a little before that.
Down.. down.. down. It is so depressing. Every account is in the negative over all 38% negative 45K dollars......

Forget the market I think today was my capitulation day. Sigh... fuck. I am down about 40% since October. Jesus Christ Tech is just getting hammered. Today my largest holding got hammered for a 25% loss. Fucking stock trades below the cash value of the company now.
I am definitely in a pissed mood today.

Okay it has been awhile. Holidays, who knew they sucked down all your time. Okay, well pretty much everyone knows that. Hehe.
First Christmas.
I think this may be the first Christmas where I just got everything I wanted even if I did not ask for it. Truly my family and especially my girlfriend went all out to find out what was the right thing...

Well,
Today was interesting. Brought the Christmas tree home today and I think Mr. Snuffy just had no idea what to make of this. I am quite certain he has never been close to a tree, or any plant that large of any type. He was mystified. Haha.... it was more fun watching his reaction than decorating the tree!...

Yeah, I guess I'm a little bummed because this is the first time in many years that I have not spent Christmas with my family in Portland. Ah, well. That's life, right?
Hope you and Mr. Snuffy have a cozy little Christmas.
PS: Perhaps you and your lady love can do a post-Christmas Christmas?

Came home from work in a good mood and sat down to watch "300" in all it's 1080P glory on the new home theater system. Simply beautiful. A good movie not a great movie but the cinematography was simply beautiful.

Whoa, you host Thanksgiving?! I feel stressed out just participating in the whole, sordid event!! Hanging out with family is equal parts joy and insanity, don't you think?
Upon your recommendation, I am going to check out Fur. I'll view it and give you my humble verdict.
Hope you're having an enjoyable weekend.
PS: When it comes to the work environment, quiet is good. More time for online goldbricking.

yes i am very excited to be alex's pretend gf for his christmas party hehe
Oh lord,
What a weekend.
But it is over. Or at least for the moment. We shall see how things do or do not come together on Monday. We moved our company datacenter over the weekend, we had outgrown our last one and we had constant problems getting enough power and cooling. We moved to another facility out on the westside of Portland.
Good times....

Re. being "born" in 1919: I guess if you're gonna lie about your age, lie BIG.
Road trip was super. I'll try to get motivated and post some pics in my oh-so neglected journal. Some really jaw-dropping scenery.
Well, hope you're enjoying springtime in P-Town.
Ciao...
Sincerely, thank you for your comment.
My Mom is coming up for a week to help me settle into my new place (once I get it) and kimchee making is definitely on the list of things that help me get settled. XOXO
