Market is just going gangbusters, isn't it? My retirement contribution to Citigroup is down 25% so far this year - I sure can pick 'em. I wanted to buy phillip morris (MO) (Altria) because I don't care if people choose to smoke, but their big profit center is overseas growth which they are allegedly going to split off, and their stock is near a high so I'm not inclined to purchase now. I don't like GOOG or APPL. Oh, right as I bought Volcom they sunk 14% (then recovered to only down 3-4%). Bleah.

I just discussed the insane housing prices at The Wooster, which are 1-2.5 mil for lofts that look like Kel's toronto place. I was just sent a link to Forbes article noting I live in one of the most lucrative housing markets in the country. Ok, if you click on the pictures link, it turns out while the Wooster is in the thick of it, my place is still a street away. Well, I may lose in the stock market but at least my house is ok. Or rather, it would be if I hadn't caught a squirrel eating the plastic frame of my living room window this morning. Rats, rats with tails...anyone offering a million for my place will get a smile and a signature.

Today my boobies, back, quads, ass, and shoulders hurt - while I have some general stiffness in my fingers and arms. I'm drinking (grass-fed skim) milk, and feeling like I dun done me some good with that gym-time yesterday. Yee-ha!

Caught my mitigating case in some flagrant lies regarding dollar figures, grr. Sympathy waning, but still doing the right thing for the agency based on the case itself.

Yeah, but I've seen a 48% return on my gold and silver since 2006, yarrr....

Further evidence. If you own stocks, you´re rich. I don´t think anyone would argue with that one!

Then why do I have rats living in my flat?

You're too posh for cockroaches!

I'll trade you the rats & squirrel for the mold in my room.

Reason why Toronto housing isn't... well... bad.... my loft is 230,000. Not 1-2.5million.

Crazee freeekss in DeeCee!

I think it is too much - something is wrong when a middle-class worker can't get housing in a reasonable area. Or the US has mastered the illusion of freedom in slavery.
