January 2011 Blogs
(Jan 2011) On the first 30 minutes with a client on a first time business meeting, it was pure business - ROI, diminishing returns, marketing campaign, etc. On the third hour of what's obviously a conversation that extended beyond its usual duration, it already went like this: (Jan 2011) Client: "...so I was going out with this good looking guy who was intellectually challenged. I was thinking, if I end up with him, in our old age when sex is no longer high on the priority, what can we talk about?" TheLoneRider: "Pardon my french, but you don't have to wait for old age. Immediately after ejaculation, sex is no longer a priority. If you can't find anything to talk abour, you're screwed...(again, but in a bad way!)" Grilled Pizza on the Weber Grill (Jan 31, 2011) My dear Char (formerly known as my Goddess), gave me her Weber BBQ grill! How cool is that?

The markets still remained unmoved with all the 5 websites I developed, and I was still broke. Usually, my Aha Moment intervenes. But not this time. I was thinking, "Where is this unseen hand that blazes a path for me in times of uncertainty?". The hardest part was not knowing what to do next. Then it hit me...more »» New Year Rain Ride (Jan 1, 2011) I can't start the year cocooned in the house simply because it's raining. I already missed the countdown party at Zanzibar due to the rain, and I'd miss a bike ride too? Hmmm...why not bike in the pouring rain? I haven't done this since I was a kid. Sounds like fun! more »» «« back to December 2010 | forward to February 2011 »» |
