Well, it's been a while since my last blog. I finally have some good news on job front, I think. I got an interview scheduled on Thursday at my past manager's company. It probably will pay less than I want but it's a paying job. I really need one at this time. I also went to a company I consulted for just stock and talked to the CEO. I told him I will come back for pay this time plus stock and he said he will think about it. I would say 50/50 chance but it's better than zero at this moment. Rest of my life have been pretty boring. I watched a lot of movies lately thanks to Netflix.com. Nothing really special that I can remember. I am a movie junkie as you probably found out. I will watch anything including some bad "B" movies to foreign films to indies. I did do see Collateral the other day. I really like the movie, I thought Jamie Foxx was just brilliant in his role. I am not much of Tom Cruise fan but I thought he did a good job in the movie as a villian. He should do more of those roles. I would give 9/10. I am about to give up my hope to be a professional poker player. I have been playing on and off online just to learn the game. I did fairly well but not good enough I don't think. These are small time, $10-30 buy in tournaments. I have played single table no limit hold'em tournaments and did ok. Won a couple of them, came in second a couple of times and just out of money, ie 4th place a bunch of times. On big multiple table tournaments, I have came in as high as 21st out of 200. The money spot started out at 20th so I just missed it. So, it seems I am better than average player but I don't think I can make a living at it. I probably give up or play when I am bored. This weekend is "Lion King". I am a fanatic about Broadway musical and I am looking forward to this one. I have seen most of the classic musicals and many of the modern ones. I really enjoy the show at any level, from professional to college production. I have seen over 200 shows in the past and saved all the programs from shows I have seen since high school days. I have them in a scrap book. It's sad that I won't be able to see any more shows due to financial issues. I hope to get a job so I can see more shows in the future. Well, it's late and I have to get up early. I am going to San Fran to a show. It's a Seybold, graphics conference. It should be pretty good. I enjoy doing graphic arts for fun on the side. I have done few things for friends and have thought about doing it for living at one point but I don't have the artistic talents to make it. I will post some of the work I have done in the past. - eben |
