Being Manic Has Good Side Effects

Ever since I decided that I wanted to start trading options again, I’ve been a little manic. Since I don’t have a big chunk of money sitting around, I have to come up with some. So, some of you may know, I started an Etsy store with the intention of selling my book collection. What [...]

The Object Of My Cathexis

No man, woman, child, pet or interest has ever replaced my relationship with coffee. It’s my fix, my drug, my weakness. Don’t make me look like a snob by offering me dripplings from a 2.5lb can. Give me a Venti Red-Eye, with a half inch of steamed half and half, plus three sugar in the [...]

The Object of my Cathexis

Since I’ve been starting my new life and been unemployed, I’ve been getting to know various social media applications. It can actually be a full time job keeping up with Myspace, Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. At first it was a little unsettling because it made me think about my past and some of the rotten [...]
