I'm here again.

I'm spending a lot of time on this computer lately.

Mostly it's monitoring my website's activity The Investing Recipe.

In a lot of ways its freeing to have an online business.

Whenever I think about the web, I now realize it is truly a global marketplace. You can buy anything and everything on these little screens.

If you want produce, then look for a produce market with a site order from. I'm sure there is more than 10,000 available to you.

If you want spices there are millions of sites you can access. It's amazing.

I always thought it would be a hard marketplace to get into because I am tech challenged.

Now however, there are free web site makers, check out this site.

I made this in about an hour for absolutely no cost to me. You can even put adds on it to make you money.

The Internet is an incredible engine for communication, socialization, moneymaking schemes, and whatever else your imagination might think up.

I absolutely love it.

Cheers
Tim

I'm not sure what the weather is where you are today, but here it's still cold, not even spring yet. We do see the sun and there is the buzz of spring. The reality however is much different. It's cold still.

I love Springtime, as most people who live in a cold climate do. I lived in Hawaii for five years so know the other side (no winter I mean), it's the best way to live. No shoveling of snow, no dealing with icy roads, or having to put on a gillion layers in order to go outside for just a little while.

In the place where below 60 degrees do not touch, it is amazing. You can always just be, your not stuck inside ever. You can walk around with shorts always. I miss the days of rain in Hawaii, when you could go out to the mountains and walk along the trails that were covered in warm rain water and climb up to see the beautiful waterfalls bursting with new life.

Or if you wanted to go anywhere, you just go, no snow covered passes to obstruct your driving. I am tired of the 'four season' world. I guess I'm too plain to enjoy it. When I see the leaves changing color. I don't think about it as beautiful, all I see is death, and the return of dormancy. The leaves are dying thats why they change color, its a fading away process. The dormancy is what will last. Not being able to do anything for thre to five months.

I know all of you guys that think winter is great. It's refreshing, you get to snowboard, or sled, or make snowmen, or see the pristine snow clinging to the trees after a winter snowfall making it a white winter wonderland. Yadda, yadda, yadda, I have heard it all before. The problem with all those things is, your kidding yourself. Your just trying to make yourself feel comfortable because as is the bear in his cave, YOUR STUCK, as is most of us who can't live in the tropics. We are STUCK.


Here is the problem the nice diversions of winter can all be done, you just have to take a weeks vacation (or holiday for all the non-Americans), go to a mountain in the winter, ski your heart out, for those who want to ski for three months ever try surfing (there is no end), all of your winter activities will be covered by the end of the week.

Maybe I'm just tired of the Winter and next year will look forward to the Winter things.

My World


My friend and I went to an eatery the other day. I live in a small Northwestern British Columbian town, which is very beautiful.


We were at a place that most people do not go into. It is nice but has a small client base. We sat down at the bar, and ordered our food. W e were talking to some Liberal Wacko.

He was all concerned about how George Bush is the leader of the free-world, but is so dumb it's not funny (graduated from the top business school in the U.S., became Texas Governor by unseating an Instituion, is a two-term President, and has assets (which he accumulated himself contrary to popular belief if you look into it) of more than 250 million dollars, this is anything but a DUMB man).


I found this to be an interesting topic, so I submitted to the man, maybe it's not President Bush who controls the World, but the corporations. Of course this created the knowing smile I knew it would engender.


This man had Grey hair, not bald, with a pony-tail down to his back. He looked like a Berkeley philosophy professor, he had the glasses, perfect diction and word usage, and very green-aware.


I myself do not believe the corporations are our big enemies.


I am simple and believe that we all decide our own fate. Corporations are there and do bad things but are run by people like you or me. If we truly didn't like what the system of Corporate finance afforded us we would not participate in it, and it would go away.



I found it humorous that this hater of Corporations would be sitting in a Corporate Hotel Chain, eating a beef dip sandwich, and railing against how we are duped because we follow the corporations into comfort while losing our soul. He also complained about my friend wanting to go Bear hunting to try bear meat for the first time.


My friedn pointed out that he was eating beef, which meant someone had to kill it, butcher it, and then cook it. How could he say it was inhumane when he was participating in it himself. It didn't shut up his rhetoric, because normally these people (see Al Gore), say one thing then do something completely opposite and cry "your shooting the messenger" when put to the fire about it.


I tired of his rhetoric and concentrated on my sandwich. He left with his girlfriend and we were free to concentrate on a decent steak sandwich we were eating.



The a girl came in and immediately was propositioned by a drunk patron who had been in another part of the restaurant/bar. He asked her if she was working. This was a young 19 year-old women. She had normal clothing on but he knew she was anything normal.



She rebuffed him and began spinning her charms on us. We are both happily married men, so we talked to her as we would to a normal 19 year-old and she respected us for it.



All in all it was a nice lunch.

Hello,
I am New to Blogging, but have seen it as a way to release some pent up frustrations, joys, or just have something to do.

I always thought blogging was for people without a job, but then I considered the time I spent at the Computer and thought I should write down some of my thoughts rather than just surf mindlessly, only thinking things and not writing them down.

I believe Humans lose so much by not communicating their thoughts. Never be afraid of thoughts, they are powerful tools of change. Unless of course you never reveal them.

Sometimes our thoughts should only stay in our heads, but mostly it's good to write them down in order to clarify them.

Cheers
Tim
