Just some thoughts for the mind...

Bulls vs. Bears

2009-01-28T08:38:00.006-05:00

"Bull" is an investor who thinks that the market, certain stock or industry will rise. Bulls are optimistic and presently predicting good things for the market, and are attempting to profit from this upward movement

unlike "Bears" who are pessimistic and believe that a particular security, commodity or entity will suffer a decline in price.

It's rather interesting seeing the back and forth of the Bull vs. Bear Market, I consider myself a bull of course, until further notice....

Inauguration

2009-01-21T02:23:00.004-05:00

For the first time I actually tuned into CNN and watched a presidential inauguration and it was actually pretty interesting, Joe Biden seemed really excited to be there dude was really grinning hard. I must say that President Obama really brought back Hope and Patriotism that I haven't seen since a few days after 9/11 where everyone had little American flags hanging from their homes and mail boxes. I have always been proud to be an American, but after these past couple months my excitement and patriotism have reached a new level. With all that being said President Obama thank you, and Godspeed.

Great Music

Here are a couple timeless piano pieces that I was lucky enough to have shared with me so I figured I'd do the same.

401 k

Credit Cards

2009-01-14T21:36:00.003-05:00

I ran across a good article earlier for most of you with credit cards, I stayed away from that evil after having a terrible financial mind as a young teen, but I was actually surprised by some of the perks that come along with having a credit card.

New year

2009-01-13T00:22:00.008-05:00

It has been a long time since I blogged, but I will do my best to update more frequently now. Doing the adult work thing is fun, but very strenuous at times. All in a days work in my quest for early retirement. I figured since it's a new year, i'll begin with the instrumental to my all time favorite song.

Also, what do you think of this car I've been wanting for some time now. I hear jag's have a lot of electrical car, but this vehicle is very presidential to me...

Been a while

2008-06-24T15:17:00.004-04:00

My apologies for my recent absence, I have been a little busy and some days I just didn't feel like posting anything worth posting. This past weekend was my "masonic" weekend if that's what you wanna call it, went to the masonic children's home in Oxford for a parade and fellowship. I also, went to church for a sit in service it was interesting. Other than that nothing to exciting to talk about, just ran across that shaq freestyle...terrible ..judge for yourself

here are a couple pictures from my weekend I'll do a better job of updating

Barnes & Nobles

2008-06-19T18:10:00.003-04:00

I went to Barnes & Nobles today, I try to goat least once a month to fnd a book that catches my eye. I am trying to build a personal library right now it composes of 16 books, hopefully it will continue to grow, but anyways...The book I picked up today is called " Famous Last Words" it caught my eye immediately..The book is pretty much self-explanatory so no need for me to keep babbling about it. It's a simple read, if you ever have $6 to spare pick it up

First Post/7th Symphony

I have been thinking about blogging for quite some time now, so I figured that I would stop procrastinating and go ahead and start. Hopefully I'll be able to update as often as possible with random post that will hopefully be informative and entertaining.

There are many versions of this song, but this is my personal favorite I listen to this song if I ever need to think, feeling down, inspired, just an overall great song. The trumpet feature is Arturo Sandoval . I hope you enjoy.
