Fears That Bear Stearns’s Downfall May Spread
This
great Bloomberg article is an interesting read.
Work
At work I had to keep working on the CFL PaymentHouse project. I'm not going to
deal with LDE and have to write a document on LDE. Some things are just
unpredictable huh? The CFL PaymentHouse account has become profitable. I heard
from my supervisor last Wednesday that CFL PaymentHouse will be finished
tomorrow. This week I attended a meeting with the people from CFL PaymentHouse
discussing the clicks-and-mortar content. Yesterday I was briefed that we've
been running a pilot for some time now, and it will get official next Monday.
Anyways.
business news

I saw 'The Gospel'
Mary and I saw a screening of 'The Gospel' yesterday. It is a pretty amusing
movie.
Bomb In Islamabad Kills One, Injures Eleven Others
Fresh news:
British diplomat hurt in bomb blast.
Anyways worry
My life is a mess. It won't change the way I feel but beyond the invisible
mirror, I see myself. I'm always wrong. Well, these alone and shattered
feelings eat away at the fabric of life. It is odd so I'm just going to sit
back. It is a violation and the perceived comfort of others blinds me of my own
comfort, my luck. I was not altruistic. They should have been above that kind
of thing. Time to integrate my rejected self back into the fold.
Oh, I can no longer hang onto these things of a life that cannot be relieved. I
am my own dungeon. Some days are better than others but part of me died that
day. I'm so sick of doing nothing and it is only a few months ago. I feel
crappy and obsolete. It's weird so I am where I am.

Interesting read
Here is a good read, long piece.
At the movies
Domino is a gratifying movie.
The plot involved the following: How did the daughter (Knightley) of actor Laurence Harvey go from being a Ford model to becoming a bounty hunter?
The actors and the director did a pleasant job.
It's an interesting movie, not for everyone, but the story is engaging.
'Ear Drum'
'Ear Drum', the new Talib Kweli album has been in and out of my playlist for a
week or so now.
The truth is I've been very indifferent to Talib Kweli for quite a while.
Repeated listenings do infuse the melodies into your brain. The more I listen
to Talib Kweli, the better it gets.
Any comments? Just tell me what you feel about this.
