Hey, what's up?

I just linked to this blog from my Facebook profile. That means that some of my friends may randomly end up here and wonder why, for 2 years, I never told them I had a blog.

The reason is simple and has absolutely zilch to do with the nude self-portraits that I've been posting every Thursday and just took down about 4 minutes ago:

This blog completely sucks.

This guy in my class disgusts me

I posted this to our poker message board...but it must have a wider audience:

He is really grubby and gross (i.e. wears same ratty clothes every day, unwashed, sweaty, matted hair), but what bugs me most is that he waltzes into class each morning, sits in one of the 2 front rows, and then stretches out and sleeps like a ****in' toddler. Why come to class? Just to lounge and be seen?

This guy's dad probably kissed his ass his whole childhood instead of screaming at him and kicking his ass a bit, which is what he needs. Those of you considering children should take note...kick some ass or you will get an unwashed, self-indulgent nerd.

I am cross-posting this to my blog. It is too important to waste on you degenerates.

Imagine if you were lecturing and you saw this guy curled up like a big, fat baby and sawing bricks every class. You would probably wind up breaking his legs with an aluminum baseball bat. My prof is a saint.

I suck at investing

Check out the price of SLW today. I sold at $10.65.

Made my first Sale

Today I sold off my huge position in Silver Wheaton (SLW) at $10.65. I bought in early January at $9.00, so after transaction costs my return was around 16%. I feel like this stock may still move higher but I sold for 2 reasons:

1. I really feel like the bottom is going to fall out of the market at some point in the near to intermediate future and the last 4% correction showed me that precious metals stocks aren't going to be insulated from any decline, so I wanted to take some profit.

2. I have watched this stock and seen it test these levels many times, and it has always fallen back once it gets near $11. I may jump back in if it goes below $10, but I'll wait and see.

Sweet Chin Music for Jim Bryson

Well I'm back in town after spring break. I had a great time in Ottawa. I really did. Let's see...what happened while I was home?
I guess the highlight was going out to Almonte with my sis to see the Hootenanny revue. It was a great show with Jim Bryson, Jenny Whitely, Dan Whitely, Carolyn Mark, and some other people who's names I can't remember. At the intermission Jim Bryson came right up to my sister to chat like he friggin' knew her or something. I guess he recognized her 'cause she's been to a lot of his shows?!? Anyway, he's a really friendly guy and pretty funny too. We grew up in the same small town and he and his buddies used to steal beer from teen dances that my dad ran through the Lions Club. I pretended to laugh and think it was real funny while he told the story, but after he left I stole like 100 copies of his new CD from the merchandise table to teach him a lesson.

Hey Jim! I totally know you read my blog. I want you to know that nobody steals beer from the Lions club and gets away with it. Pow! The wheel of karma just laid some 'sweet chin music' on you, son.

Check out his myspace page - he's got a new CD and it's really good...I can hook you up with a copy for like $2.50 Just kidding Mr. Bryson!

Another thing I did while I was home was watch Wrestlemania on Sunday night. I did this despite the fact that I had to get up at ~4:15am the next morning to catch my plane back to Boston and write an economics exam at 9am. Some things are more important than sleep and school and two of those things are HBK's "sweet chin music", and seeing Vince MacMahon get his head shaved live on TV. Do you think you're better than me because I watched wrestling?

Don't you dare judge me.
