Baseball

09.30.04 (2:42 pm)

Well, baseball season is winding down and I am biting my nails. My team, Oakland A's, is now one game behind Anaheim on divisional race with 4 games to go. I am not sure if they can pull it off. Since the wildcard is already decided for AL, only way A's can get in to the post season is to win the division. I like the excitement of the tight race but only if my team wins. :) Well, I hope they make it. I will have to be patient. - eben

Finally...

09.22.04 (10:27 am)

Ok, I am having problems with the blog so here I try again. I am gainfully employeed finally. It's been a while. I am working for a company that I have consulted in the past for stock only. Now that they have funding, they can afford to pay me. :D Officially, I am consulting until the end of the month and re-evaluate for full time employment after that but I am confident that I will be hired full time. It's been busy since starting last week. I have been going at 100mph so no time for much else. I do like the hustle and bustle of the working world for now. May be I will be sick of it in the future but it's a good therapy for me at this time. The company is a small startup, with less than 15 people. So, I get to do a lot of different things. There is never a shortage of work here. Well, gotta keep it short for now, lunch is almost done. I will keep writing. - eben

Being lazy

09.08.04 (11:38 pm)

Well, it's been a while since my last blog. I have been both lazy and busy. I am just going about doing nothing to keep myself busy, not trying to think about some of the issues in my life. Still nothing on the job front. I have called in all my chips to get an interview somewhere but so far no dice. I am getting a bit desperate but I am trying to stay calm. I haven't panicked yet but it's getting pretty close. Living off loans and credit card is not something I ever want to do again. Since I don't have money, I am staying home and doing nothing. Just watching movies on DVD and working on my computer. I am reading a lot also. I have read 3 books in last 3 weeks, interesting enough all of them by John Grisham. I do like his writing style and story telling. I think I am pretty caught up on all his novels. I have to look to see which ones I have missed, is at all. I have one more novel to read before getting more. It's a Robert Ludlum one. If you don't know him, he's a great spy thriller writer. He wrote the Bourne trilogy, including the recent movie Bourne Supremacy. I am a fan of his novels and probably read about a dozen of them so far. I am also a fan of Crichton, Koontz, Higgins and Mario Puzo. Speaking of Puzo, Godfather series have got to be the best movies ever made. I really like the gangster movies for some reason. I guess it facinates me to know that there is a whole sub section of population that enjoy a different life style. I love watching Goodfellas, Once upon a time in America, Casino or anything that has to do with gansters of the past and present. I am sure much of it is fictionalized but I still enjoy the genre. Well, I am picky on what I am spending money on these days but that doesn't mean I am not spending any. I am playing in a golf tournament this Saturday. It's being hosted by a friend's father. It should be fun. Also, I got a ticket to go to New Orleans at the end of October. I used my mileage for a free ticket so I just have to pay for the room. I have never been there and I intent on partying heavily there. Other than that, not much is going on. Every day is the same since. It facinates me that as I get older and not working, the days just blend in together. One day is the same as other. I am also afraid that I will get too used to this. I need to get back in to the work mode. It's not healthy for me. - eben
