While researching stocks through Investools.com a couple of months ago, I came across a particular stock–I’m not going to tell the name, out of sheer vindictiveness–with very strong fundamentals, a great price, everything I was looking for. Unfortunately, I elected to open a brokerage account with Banc of America Investments, which was offering free trades.As …

Thanksgiving
Man, has this been a busy week! I’ll start with Thanksgiving; I got to meet a lot of my in-laws (what do you call the father of your sister-in-law?), and see my brother’s new house. It sits on a beautiful 10-acre lot (with lake) just outside of Mexico, MO. Must be nice to marry money!Then, …
OCS Impending…
I report for OCS in early December. After I get back, I’ll have to vacate my current job ASAP…I finally found a decent martial arts group in Jefferson City–see their link at the top right of my blog!I bought a PS3. I feel very guilty… except when I’m feeding my addiction to the game Oblivion… …
Lots going on!!
First, let me push the book, Explaining Postmodernism. This is hands-down the most important book that I’ve read this year–and you can look at the bottom of my blog to see how many books this is. The Communist-backed anti-victory protests, the Hollywood anti-American spew, the femiNazis… It all ties together, and more. Postmodernist philosophy is …
Going FASTER?
Well, since I need to drop a few pounds for my APFT anyway, I’ve decided to fast today. I used to do this for two weeks at a time in college, but I find I don’t have that kind of willpower anymore… My last attempt was about 18 months ago, and I only made it …
Let’s Set Some Goals!
Okay, I’ve decided to add some focus to my life: it’s time to start setting real goals! I will set goals of three durations: short-term (monthly goals), medium term (quarterly goals), and long term (annual goals). I will make a new posting each month of new goals, and note which I achieve and which I …
Third Course
Well, it looks like I have a new course to study! I have been working my way through two courses, while I’m waiting for OCS and college, later. The first is “Zola’s Introduction to Hebrew,” the best introductory Hebrew text I could find. This course is offered through “Hebrew for Christians.”The second is AWAI’s “Accellerated …
Investools
I won’t be in tomorrow; I’ll be attending an Investools seminar in Columbia. Although I won’t be able to make immediate use of the knowledge thus gained, I hope to begin investing in the market by May of next year. Sunday I will be attending church services at the Unity Christian Church in Jefferson City. …
Lodge
I attended Lodge last night, for the first time since I started my new job in March. If you aren’t aware, this would be Acacia Lodge #602, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons. I served as an officer in two first-degree initiations; it is really impressive to take part in the ceremonies as an officiant, remembering …
Regional Combat Marksmanship Competition
Well, I competed in the Regional National Guard Combat Marksmanship Competition over the last weekend–Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. All I got was a sunburn. 🙂My rifle score was okay–at 181, I actually out-shot some members of the Missouri team. I have never been a weak rifleman, but I have always been a stronger pistoleer.Always, that …
