“Of all God’s creatures,there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the lash.That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with a cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.” - Mark Twain

I stayed in bed until 10:54 AM this morning without feeling guilty about it. I needed the sleep, but I better get out before Sunday ends. I think a Downtown trip will take care of me. I’ll be seeing an old friend today, she was away to finish her Graduate Studies, it is nice to see her back.

and later on this evening My Girlfriend I will be driving down to Abbotsford for Swing Dance.

oh boy! I need a fresh cup of coffee.

Vancouver is a gray city, it just rains so much here. This year specially we’ve only had few month of sun and that was it. Gush I miss those sunny days on the South Granville Street, and how happy and summary people look like.

But again rainy days could be fun too. Coffee shops are cozy, and it is the best time for Tea, Jazz, reading, or writing. Foggy windows, and people who are crammed on the coffee shop seats, kids who run around high on sugar, young couples who are on the first date, those with crazy outfits and fashion, Yuppies and their laptops (I happen to be one actually!), this is quite an atmosphere.

Last summer I was in Rome, standing at the Trevi Fountain which is supposed to be the world’s Wishing Fountain. At the time I was working for a large corporation as a Web Application Architect, and I was taking that vacation after a 6 month of working on a pet project. That was 10 hour work days including the weekends. No I didn’t get paid for the overtime hours. I was exhausted, frustrated and unhappy.

One of my 3 wishes was that someday I become self employed; to become the President of my own company. My other wish was, OF COURSE to go back to Rome again! and the third wish remains to be a secret.

Few month after, one of my wishes has been granted. I started my own Software Company, and shortly after started a second company with a wonderful Partner. Goodbye corporate world!

Now life is so beautiful. No more long commutes, no more corporate monkey business. It is no longer the 4 letter word “WORK”, it is now “Play”, “Play”, and more “Play”.

Now It is about my ideas, my opinion, my vote. It is now collaboration, communication, picking and choosing clients that are happy to work with me, or else Good Bye, and so long. That means flexible hours, weekends, more downtown trips, more photography, more drawing, more book reading, and basically having a life.

Summer of 2008 I will be going back to Rome. Here I am releasing that wish to the Universe once again!

I haven’t had the chance to do photography and maintain my blog lately. The blog theme is also obsolete, and doesn’t support many of the functionalities that I need. So I think sometime soon I should really pay some more attention to this blog. Specially that I am getting quite a bit of traffic here, which is cool, nothing wrong with that.

And I presume today would be Boxing Day!

On boxing day items that didn’t sell before, would go on sale with discounted prices, or shall I say boys and girls who were waiting for the perfect date and didn’t get any, now want to cut down their expectations and be a bit more realistic!
