wow.....work can be fun. today i had a customer tell me he was making it his sole mission in life to see that i am terminated from my job. i wish i had that kind of free time, to make something that petty my sole mission in life. you'd think he could find a more worthy cause.....if by some cosmic coincidence he reads this....sir, i encourage you to devote your life to something of more substance. by the by, it was a simple matter of something not being delivered when HE thought it should, and this all being my fault, even though i just sell them, i don't build them...mind you, his order is not scheduled to ship until next week, but i was able to tell him it had already gone out; this was still not good enough. good grief.
breaching the ever popular topic of politics, i heard today that VP cheney may resign, and that condi rice will be made VP.....the customer who told me this also said "that will leave mr potato head leading the country all by himself." now, i am a bush supporter, but i had to laugh. that's some witty stuff..... i also hear that it is apparently likely that we will be choosing between condi and hillary in the next presidential election. i need to ask my dear friend robi, the poli-sci doctoral student some questions on this, but i truly think this will lead to a strong showing, if not a win by a third party candidate.
on a related note, i found out today i can buy a very nice island in a banana republic with a house on it for about $3million. anyone willing to go in on that with me? robi, also being an econ grad student (yes, he is apparently an over achiever) will probably advise me that this is not a good idea. but i like it a lot. i can catch fish, and the rum ship can make a monthly delivery. that's about as good as life gets.
that's about it for today....i worked 12 hours, and came home to freshly cooked filipino eggrolls. my roommate and i have a friend from the philippines who taught us how to make them. he assured me that no filipinos were harmed in the making of said eggrolls. they are quite tasty. but now, having eaten them, and having had several cups of wonderful organic spiced black tea, i am ready for bed, so i can get up tomorrow, and do it all over again. i miss being self employed already.
o well........
so let it be written, so let it be done

I'm still debating between the private islands and that dream house in Costa Rica. I just really think that instead of our family having a compound, it would be way cooler if we had a cluster of tropical islands.
Third parties have absolutely no chance. Only if they get a name candidate like McCain or Ventura do they have a shot at even winning a state much less they whole she-bang. I doubt it will be Condi v/s Hillary the smart money right now has John McCain, George Allen, Rudy Giuliani as the front runners for the GOP. Hillary is way out in front for the Dems with some one named Mark Warner in 2nd place.
As for the island. Hey man I am all for it. As long as I can visit when ever I like I say do it. Of course maybe you should put $1M in a nice S&P index fund and let it ride and buy a $2M island instead.
