Life's random thots

Decided to start tweeting from yesterday on at least 1 saying which I should observe.

Today's was on having a goal in life....

Thinking about it, most people I know go thru life without them and have no idea what they want out of life. I think we are all passer-bys in life, thought that I have things figured out and should set clearly what I want but as I write this, my goals seem to be all of a sudden so transient. And the more I think about it, I realised that it's not really my goal which is transient but life itself which is transient, so what if we decided to get rich, decided to buy something for a short term goal, or decided to craft a career for a longer term goal etc... even if we decide to be the best at something and strive towards that, at the end of day, we are still going to move on....

Sad thoughts but I guess, it really is the experience of life which counts rather than the achievements we have at the end of the day.

"Live life to the fullest"

Trading Spreads

Spread day, tough, first time doing it so not sure what to do, learn and paid for it.

Down 1 set with comm for another set... but learnt something I hope

Summary of day trade

Neither a good or bad day, Dax was super volatile. was really unhappy over a last trade of mine, got a good position but gave it back due to a wrong click... signz... must learn from that and be more careful

Ebook Site

Just found a new Ebook Site, quite a few free ebooks with cheap purchases as well, give it a try, I have added a permanent link to it at the top of my blog, will be adding other interesting links from here on.

Morning Trading

Made two sets then gave back one, watched the video of my trade, first trade was good, second rest of it was lucky, shld have stopped when 2 up, must take note of that in future.

Machine orders was bad but market went up, did not understand but it came back down after.

Hope to make more later to cover back yesterday

Review -- SPELLFIRE

"Neglect not small things, ...."

so it began. One of my first fantasy books and introduction to the world of fantasy and things have not been the same ever since for me.

The book starts off with a common enough setting in a role playing campaign, the tavern, the party has a new addition (3 warriors, a bard, a wizard and a new thief) heading of to explore the nearest dungeon (the Ruins of Myth Drannor), from there it departs from the standard game play with most of the party perishing, caught in a fight between groups of warriors and attention centered on the main characters solely.

While the book as a whole does not have a strong plot line, I keep feeling that it was a whole string of unfinished events (the sequels were not to be for at least another 10 plus years), the language and tone used was really refreshing from the standard fantasy fare and also the high level of magik in the book was something to really look out for. It seems almost everybody had a magic item or two stowed up their sleeves. Potions, wands, starves, magic weapons .... with a ever amusing supporting cast (introducing Elminister, the Knights of Myth Drannor, Shadowdale etc...) what else could you ask for.

An evergreen read for me, I keep discovering little tidbits of entertainment each time I reread it as can be seen from the well worn copy.

Definitely something necessary for a collection of fantasy books...

afternoon trading

Not much better, trade, scratch, trade scratch, lose, make, trade scratch, lose, make, trade scratch, sounds familiar... not a job for the impatient...

Calling it a day as I ran out of levels to play....

Rather work on my blog tonight...
