Market Crash Probably Coming Soon
More and more people are getting edgy about the markets. What started out as the “subprime lending crisis” is turning out to be only the tip of the iceberg, just as I have been saying for years. Top bankers on Wall Street are no longer willing to lend out new capital at ANY interest rate. The big investment firms are doing the analysis and finding that their testicles are frozen.… read more “Market Crash Probably Coming Soon”
Juno Movie Review
After watching my first lunar eclipse tonight from the roof of my apartment building, I went with Nick Fitzer and his roommate Nick something-or-other to watch Juno. Many friends, including Plato and Jordan, told me that Juno was an excellent movie and so I have been anxious to see it for some time.
Plato 
repeatedly told me to take a date, but I grew impatient of waiting and I had a gift card to AMC burning a hole in my pocket.… read more “Juno Movie Review”
Plato’s Short Stories
Plato was kind enough to give me some rough drafts of stories that he had worked on a while back and I put them online. I messed up the order of some of the pages when I put them online and still need to fix that, so if you come across anything messed up while reading, please send me the page that is bad or post it in the comments.… read more “Plato’s Short Stories”
La Isla Puerto Rican Restaurant in Ballard, WA
Last night the weekly dinner crew headed out to go to an ethiopian restaurant named Waid’s in the Central District of Seattle. However, Waid’s was closed for Presidents Day, so Plato led Ian, Diane, Tara and I on to a different destination: La Isla.
La Isla is a small Puerto Rican restaurant in Ballard, WA. Plato had been there before and said it had some great Caribbean food and our group is all about trying new things, so we headed over.… read more “La Isla Puerto Rican Restaurant in Ballard, WA”

Time Machine To Do List
What I know now. I was having a fantasy today about having a time machine. Below are a few of the things that I would do:
-I would use my time machine to go hunt dinosaurs. Jurassic Park had it right- a nice big game preserve with the biggest monsters history has known. I’d be decked out like Rambo with a rocket launcher, .50 caliber sniper rifle and a light machine gun for anything small and fast.… read more “Time Machine To Do List”
Marketing: Science or Scam?
When many people in the business world hear about their marketing department, they roll their eyes. Marketing has a reputation of being mostly fluff and very little results delivered. Sales people go and find new clients, production people deliver whatever the company makes, but no one really understands what in the world marketing people really do.… read more “Marketing: Science or Scam?”
