Investing

That is something I don't know how to do or don't have the confidence to do. As I'm writing this I'm viewing a show on the number of Hispanics in the States and the Spanish radio markets. Of course, Spanish radio stations often top the ranks list, we have the numbers behind us. I need to research companies that cater to Hispanics, because the purchasing power is too huge to ignore.
I've known this since high school when I entertained the idea of going into business. Grrr. Talk about dropping the ball.

I'm not starting from scratch, I have a brokerage account. I'm out to determine what I am going to do with it. I have time of my side, if I start now.

This all has to do with getting my financial house in order...one of the unwritten, unvocalized new year's resolutions.

I read Memoirs of a Geisha many years ago. I remember the story, somewhat. That is one of the my problems. I get all the books I've read mixed up. I don't have the greatest memory to recall these type of facts, or storylines. Yesterday I caught the movie, it was alright. I think I've stated this before, but it bugs me that Japanese actores were not used in this movie. In the end, it should not matter, but part of my thinks it does. I bet there are plenty of Japanese actors that could have played the roles. This is a new pet peeve of mine.
The cinematography was good. It made me want to travel back in time and be a fly on wall of some geisha house.

Did I mention I finally got my curtains up? Not without damaging the walls though. That part sucked.

Tomorrow I am going to start training a new person that has joined our team. I like her so I don't mind putting in the time. She's facing a huge learning curve. The only thing that worries me is the time it's going to take away from my own tasks. It's time to start working crazy hours again. I guess it was time, January has been pretty laxed..only 8 hour days. I almost feel guilty about that.

I'm reading the books for the Chronicles of Narnia so I can go watch the movie. I'm like that. I don't like to watch the movie, if I know there is a book out there somewhere. It's pretty good. I like deciphering the Christian undertones.
