Sorry the blog isn't about japanese females I've met... I been watching the HBO show "Deadwood" -- been trying to get into it years ago on many recommendations and finally have. Quite good.. its interesting they call each other "cocksuckers" probably 50 times a show that I walk around starting to think "yeah that cocksucker" -- its like brainwashing...
Life imitates art.. lets hope not in the case of deadwood.. and those cocksuckers!
Moved to a new apt. Wow this is the ultimate living.

Theme for Q4'2010
Simplify
Yes.. minimize, simplify.
Map-Reduce ? For programmers thats a paradigm for parallel processing or something like that.
Anyways I aim to simplify my life and reduce my dependence on material possessions a bit. I am dumping some clothes, goods, etc. I am going to stop buying random shit of value and keep it real.
Lets see how it goes I'll recap status in 2011.

- almost caught up on email...
- damn gotta meet w/ trader @ 1145am to explain trade migration
- boss calls me to meet over lunch, say gotta meet w/ trader first, call u after
- meeting takes 35min, now 1230pm go for lunch w/ boss, boss tells me he wants to promote me next year, wants to give me more.. i tell him i'm barely keeping alive right now.
