This is a momentous period of human history. I know I have said, "the greatest contribution that mankind can make to the Cosmos is to annihilate
it's self". I think this statement puts what is currently happening in a nutshell; the greatest nuclear disaster the world has ever experienced, a global finacial meltdown, and a world in perpetual war all happening simultaneously. If mankind wanted to annihilate it's self, this looks like a fine blueprint on how to accomplish it. If a separate solar system is on it's way here to Earth on a collision course, it would be a blessing.
I listen to podcasts. I don't have to agree with everything I hear, but the amount of decent information available for those of us who love to research is excellent. I complain and worry that I am not following my passions. This isn't true. My research, for what it is worth, has sustained me. I've learned things I never dreamed were possible. I have lived a good life. It has been a hard one. I am honored to be here, now, at this moment on the razor's edge of cataclysmic change.
I am blessed. As the world crumbles around me, I have continued to proper. I am making more money today than I made as a casino tables games dealer.
Sadly, this position is, and always has been, a pain in the ass. I work with hillbillies. The stress levels are way too high. A new dress code goes in force May 2, 2011. In my heart I know I can not continue doing this work for any great length of time. Hanging in there till age 62 is out of the question. Given the scenarios playing out on the world stage, the odds are not in my favor I'll live that long. The US Dollar is in dire straights. From what I was listening to, the Dollar's status as the World Reserve Currency is going to crumble in the next few months. And why is all this happening?
On August 15, 1971, the United States unilaterally terminated convertibility of the dollar to gold. As a result, "[t]he Bretton Woods system officially ended and the dollar became fully 'fiat currency,' backed by nothing but the promise of the federal government."[1] This action, referred to as the Nixon shock, created the situation in which the United States dollar became the sole backing of currencies and a reserve currency for the member states.
I always admired Nixon's foreign policy. He was top shelf. I am disappointed he turned a blind eye to the global ransacking he had to know would result from the demise of Bretton Woods. We are paying for it today 38.78 years later.
I was talking about a plan of action I was taking. I never fully explained what it was. I am glad I didn't because global ramifications I never anticipated crushed them. I am still learning to use Powershell. I continue learning because I enjoy it. I am still striving to become better. I have not been able to articulate. I let this month slip into the abyss. I pray the days that remain keep me sane. This isn't a time to brood on what may have been if all this crazy shit wasn't all happening at the same time. This is a time of cleansing. This is a time to mend. This is a time to let go. This is time for me to worry about nothing but training my mind, my body, and my spirit. I look back on my life. Some of the best training I ever did was working alone. I have fallen so far it's painful to accept. But I have to see things as they are, not as what they could be. There are things I wish to accomplish that have no bearing on creating wealth or furthering a career. These things never revolved around financial gain. They revolved around my peace of mind. This has always been my path.
Nice document. Explains a great deal. Worth the read of seven pages.

Multi-Billion Dollar Civil Money Laundering And Forfeiture
Action Against Full Tilt Poker, Absolute Poker, and PokerStars.
Here is an earlier news article of note ...
Scott Tom, part-owner of
Absolute Poker suspected of cheating. An insider at the Web site had real-time access to all of the hole cards (it is not hard to believe that this capability would exist) and was relaying this information.
Greed makes people desperate and stupid. Nevada had plans on regulating and revitalizing Poker on line for US citizens. This fiasco might set that agenda on the back burner.

Goldman Sachs accused of fooling clients in scathing
Senate Report
More wrist slapping, or are these criminals going to be held to the same legal standards the rest of us must adhere to? Last I heard, Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein got a huge fat bonus and a promotion after he testified at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee hearing on Wall Street and the financial crisis, in Washington, April 27, 2010. I watched his testimony.
Lloyd Blankfein
This squinty-eyed parasite belongs in a cell next to "Bernie" Madoff.
On a more positive note, my biorhythm chart looks good.

Hello World!
Still recovering from the creeping crud that infected my system. I slept most of the day. I feel better. When everything is said and done, this time-line must change, and change for the better. This slump is getting old.
