You gotta be doin somethin...and

Sometimes you do too much.

Let me tell you what an evenful day looks like to me.


Feb. 13 2007

4:00PM - Market Close.

4:01PM to 6:31PM - Eat, play poker, go through chart scans, discuss with my trading buddies, watch TV and kill my time.

6:32PM - Leave for soccer.

Around 7:20PM - Lighting strikes literally right above us. We all run off the field scared to shitless.

Around 7:21PM - I come to realize somehow my car's been locked with my keys inside (I left all my belongings in the car since the weather was not looking too good.)

Around 7:38PM - It is poring raining. Mike and Rob were nice enough to help me out. Mike decides to hang back with me. After vaious attempts and alternatives, we end up calling the locksmith. (I was pretty much screwed cause literally everything was in my car...my apartment key to get to my spare car-key, my sellphone to call my apartment emergency help, my wallet, etc.) I wanted to try that Tennis Ball Method to open the car, and Mike thought I was completely nuts.

7:50PM - The locksmith still no show so we call back.

8:14PM - The locksmith still no show and Mike's wife calls to find out what's goin on.

8:32PM - The dood finally calls and finds us. I get my car unlocked. The temperature is down to about 52 degrees. I'm in my soccer shorts and a soccer jacket, all soaking wet. It feels about 30 degrees.

Around 10:00PM - I start watching TV after my shower and a meal.

11:00PM - I leave the TV on and I see Sex and the City is coming on. I watch it. I tell myself "dood you are such a ghey. yes A GHEY. it's one thing to be a metro, to watch it and enjoy it is another." I watch it anyway.

I tell myself, "But I'm definitely goin to bed at 12:00AM, I'm gonna read and go to bed."

12:00AM - I see that I Am Sam is coming on. It catches my attention because the setting is that a handicapped guy is working at a Starbucks. I watch it. It is scheduled to end at 2:30AM. I'm in a serious dilemma now. Movie is interesting (or at least the opening was.) I can't stop watching.

I get online to see if this thing is gonna be playing anytime soon again. It's playing at 10:00AM on Wed. during the market hours. Not good.

I'm now thinking I'm not getting to bed till 2:30AM.

Dammit.

That means I'll probably end up fallin asleep or taking a nap tomorrow afternoon. That means I'll probably have nothing really interesting or significant happen during the day tomorrow.


That means I should just go ahead and get on here and write the damn blog.


Good thing I have his incredibly flexible lifestyle.


Now it's 1:00AM.


And as I glance at the TV screen, I'm starting to think this movie is getting slower and pretty boring.


I've changed my mind, and I'm goin to bed NOW.


And that's how my busy, eventful day looks like and ends.

I don't really like it like this, and I wanna be able go to bed at a reasonable time even though I don't have to. This has been too eventful for me.


life is a gift though. Truly...




Even when the locksmith leaves you with a $45 bill. What a bitch.
