Neil from BB9

If you don't know, I'm a huge Big Brother fan. I found this on the web. There's a rumor that Big Brother casts actors for the house. They could be right.

Crooks & Robbers


Most Wall Street people are Republicans. Yes, I said it and it's true. They believe that Government should stay out of people's lives, more importantly their businesses lives.

Government only becomes important to them when it can stretch out it's hands and help them save a buck, which is happening in the case of investment bank, Bear Sterns. What's interesting is that these companies that pay their executives millions of dollars and JP Morgan Chase is getting Bear Sterns at a huge discount. That's not a good thing because people who own shares in Bear Sterns are having their investments equal nothing.

From NPR:
Fed's most significant move over the weekend was the creation of a new program to give emergency loans directly to the 20 largest so-called "primary dealers."

What that means is that the "richest country in the world" is in some serious financial trouble. That shouldn't be news to anyone when you see how one euro is worth $1.55. I have a problem with the Government bailing out the crooks and robbers that set up these deceptive mortgage deals in order to make money and now we have a credit crisis created by sub prime loan lending.

Let these crooks lose every penny they shouldn't have had in the first place. The rich already get tremendous tax breaks that the middle class can't claim and on top of that they get to be "bailed out". When will they feel the crunch. They'll be able to network and rebuild themselves. What about the investors and the workers who have to find new jobs in a recession?

Does anyone else see that these people in Wall Street are running our country into the ground and have ruined some people's chances of getting a mortgage in the future? It's shameful!

Weekend Highs to Monday Blues

My weekend was eventful, too eventful really.

I went to a 10:30pm show Friday night, then had desert at a restaurant in Harlem with some friends. Saturday, I got up at 8am and had to be at work at 8:30am. I was late. 1:30pm I got off work and went to see a 2:55pm show of Horton Hears a Who, which was great (I nodded off for a bit). 8:15pm I went to Brooklyn for a Game Night party that was fun. I played Twister for the first time and was unsuccessful. I'm glad I know how to fall w/o hurting myself.

Sunday, I slept in until 2pm and left the house around 6pm for training. I got home around 10pm and was in the bed by midnight.

I feel like I did a lot of stuff, but feel a little cheated because I didn't schedule any alone time for myself. The most I did was watch a little TV and clean up the desktop on my computer.

For the next few weeks, I'm telling everyone that I'm busy. Outside of the things already planned, I just can't do it. I don't even have time to enjoy my computer! I need some time to myself to recharge. The only time I remember how important "Kevin time" is when I don't get any.
