today's thought: .


<< reminisce envision >>

I realize that my blog is becoming a predictable record of peaks and troughs. I whine when things are bad, and I rejoice when things are great.

As an aside, Peaks and Valleys is probably a good book to be getting, but 38 bucks is really a stretch, especially when you consider how thin the book really is. But never mind that, I guess it is the content that counts; people out there probably value the advice contained within as more than 38 bucks.

As a second aside, Mike Ashley can really, really just go fuck himself. I believe I have defended him before when Keegan left, but there is no excuse now. At least old Fred was in the thick of things always. This guy is just clueless. Goes to show that having lots of money doesn't make you instantly smarter.

Ok. Things are great now, again. Everything's going well. Was sent to Exile Island in the form of Shell House due to the H1N1 incident, but did not find any immunity idols. Ok, sorry, lame reference. But yeah, that was work. AIG gave me a jump all week last week before correcting to more respectable levels (still way under expectations though. But hey, at least the bleeding's stopped). Finally, eBay is great; looks like I'll be doing a repeat of April's high, hopefully even enough to outdo myself in April.

In other areas, aside from life's daily doldrums, my weight is at the lowest for this year. Actually, I don't even know why my weight would be a matter for concern, since I am positive this is the first time in the 7 years of my blog which I have ever mentioned my weight. But yeah, I need pass my IPPT, and I needa look decent for the photo shoot, which means I have to cut off some excess baggage.

Other than that, I have to admit that I'm not doing anything much nowadays. Which is bad, since it means that I'm not making much progress anywhere. Oh well, I'm making great progress in just being comfortable where I am. I needa look for that jolt again to get moving on something.

Same old complaints, nothing new to blog about anymore. There seems to be nothing much to say other than the "oh yeah, things are good." or "oh yeah, things are bad." Kinda like how you deal with meeting up with people. You just say things are good or no good, and try to leave it as vague as possible. The problem is exacerbated when the people in question are out of touch; it means the more elaborating you have to do when keeping them updated. Which in the end, sometimes, you just skim off the end, or you just give up and not bother.

So I have a long list of to-do's, about 20+ long, which has been relatively untouched since a month ago, before reservist. I wonder when will I ever, ever get down to them.

I tell you something I really need to do, which is to keep my eBay a priority, always. I need to learn that it should supercede just about any other trivial thing out there, so whenever it needs attention, I am to attend to it as long as whatever I am doing is of a lower priority.

I should at least start with that.

Ok, nothing much really comes to mind now. So I guess its just here and until the next time when things go bad again (which I am sure they will). Sad to have a life ruled by good things and bad things, eh?
