Ever have one of those days,…..

when you take the time to read the paper from front to back,…

perhaps while waiting for your grilled chicken to get done grilling,…

and you decide to give in to your guilty pleasure of reading your horoscope?

carefull tho, youre in a public place, and a dude, in my case, so you angle the paper in such a way that no one can see what it is youre reading :P .

anyway, later on that day,…

events and circumstances materialise around you, forming the bulk of your memories for the day. you get absorbed into what it is youre doing, and you forget about the gobbledygook you read about earlier while your stomach was rummbling.

especially cos youre additionally preoccupied with the fact that your nostrils arent blocked anymore, ( ahhhhhhhhh, snorrrrrrrrt, snifffffffffffffff, ahhhhhhhhhh).

and late in the night, while youre getting ready for bed, perhaps brushing your teeth, your left eyebrow cocks,… and you stop what youre doing for a second,….

“huh,….it was right afterall,….how odd,….”

especially since i’m pretty sure that the kuwait times horoscopes are off by atleast a day.

their main news articles are always fucking late, so i’ll doubt their horoscope readings are spot on :P


you gotta love the irony of it all.

that particular day i was ass deep in thought about trading platforms, strategies, speed of order execution, interbank bids and offers, electronic charting, pivot points, straddles, stops, hedges, exponential moving averages,………..

pretty high tech stuff, on the surface atleast :P .

the horoscope said i would have an epiphany of sorts. ummm, naturally it wasnt as specific as that but that was the jist of it :P

old school gobbledygook,….. on the surface atleast :P .

so it was old school stuff affecting new school stuff, but the thing is, the new school stuff involved old school math and reasoning, so i ditched the new school stuff in favour of the old school stuff, the old school stuff being more or less what the new school stuff is built on, making the new school stuff actually old school stuff made to look all spiffy and brand new.

added to that is the fact that this is a very old game that i play, ‘cept with new tools.

so its back to basics for me.

thank god for that :P , i was getting tired of trying to reinvent the wheel :P

so provided the internet holds up, and certain other factors hold true, i might just have found my holy grail.

oddly enough, its not a system, which, unfortunately, is what sooooo many people are desperately looking for.

its as simple and as complicated as :

” i got it,…. and now i get it. “

:P
