Since I quit/got fired from my job at the brokerage firm this past June my world has taken an enormous turn for the better while the world around us seems to be taking a turn for the worse. For one, the American stock market seems to be crashing yet again. However, the Federal Reserve as we know it is not in the business of letting Big Business go out of business (say that ten times fast!) so there will probably be a massive reflation/bailout effort on their part which means... hyperinflation--cha, cha, cha--hyperinflation--cha, cha, cha! Oh, don't cry for me La America, we're in for a heap of trouble just like our amigos down south in Argentina went through only a decade or so ago. Que mala suerte!

In my life, however, the bull market continues. Leaving that job was the best thing that ever happened to me, and my new job (doing web development in a different industry) is like going to a stand-up comedy club every day. Oh what a difference it makes having good people to work with. I'm also going back to school for professional therapeutic massage. I've always been drawn to complementary and alternative medicine and I feel this will be a great way to bring my life back into balance through the pursuit of something artistic and healing.

Being a cyberpunk I know that I should be dark but it's hard when everything is going your way =) Hope all of you out there on the Net are finding happiness in your lives, and are pursuing a path in alignment with your True Will.

Love & Will,
