Lovely Bones Trailer

This looks amazing. It’s the first film by director Peter Jackson following his Lord of the Rings masterpiece trilogy. Adapted from the novel, this looks to be a remarkable film about a girl who is raped and murdered, yet maintains a connection to the living world, watching over her family.

Leonard Cohen – In My Secret Life

lcohen

A lot on my mind today as I find myself at the first crossroads of my trading career, discarding an old strategy and trying to learn (gulp) three new ones. My efforts so far have been decidedly mixed and some discouragement is setting in. However, even with the sky typically overcast on yet another Pennsylvania day, I find I must stay the course. There simply are no other alternatives; I must excel at this, it is what I feel I am destined to do.

It is always on days like this I find my thoughts drawn as murky as the gray sky. Listening to the collection of Leonard Cohen music I had on my HD (which I have not heard in a long time), I recall how much I  felt the emotion of this song.

At the Movies

Looks like one of my favorite shows about movies is getting a new look and with both of the critics I’d originally hoped Roger Ebert would have chosen to replace Siskel years ago. This is looking good and it’s time to add AtM to my TiVO once again.

Happy Happy Joy Joy

I am pumped and very happy after my first week of forex trading. I started off rocky by stupidly trying to trade the British Pound on a bank holiday for them. But after a few losses here and there, I ended up doing much better than most noobs, actually increasing the balance of my trading account by 10% on the week.

Not bad for my first week, right?

Celtic Woman – Danny Boy

gallery9

On a rainy day, this is just the kind of song you need. Harken back to bygone days and shadowy glens whilst enjoying the song which might as well be the Irish national anthem. It’s hard to imagine anyone doing it better than the Celtic Woman troupe, particularly one of the original soloists, Méav Ní Mhaolchatha.

Yeah, about that whole posting-more thing

random-hilarious-funny-wtf-4r-24

Seems about, yep, about a month ago I thought I’d be updating this blog more often as I got my new venture underway. But progress has been slow learning (and practicing) forex trading. In fact, it has taken up all my time, so much so that I’m not socializing very much, including doing any gaming. Weird, I can’t recall the last time I spent as much of my time trying to learn something as complex and demanding as this.

There is still a good chance I will fail, of course. But at least I plan to start Live trading this week. I have at least one very good strategy to employ during overnight trading sessions and will also be practicing on small lots during the weekdays. If you’d like to learn more about what the hell I’m talking about, check this link for a quick, simple explanation of Forex Trading.

Also, I am Facebooking like a mother these past few weeks. I’d pretty much let that whole social-networking thing pass me by; always thought it was a huge waste of time. It probably still is, but damn near everyone I know is doing it so Yours Truly jumped aboard.
