Once again I find myself up around 4am here in bangkok. My body really needed the rest but my mind just stay awake. So I decide to get up and get online. I checked on the news and the stock market. I noticed both the Dows and Nasdaq have suffered big losses. The blue chips suffered the biggest one-day losses since early March. I think rising oil prices, disappointing retailers sales and employment report combined to undercut the stock market. This never good news to me as most of my tech stocks were in negative territory. Anyway I think my problem is nothing compare to others.

Instead, I would like to take the time to offer my best wishes to other TF members.

To jimba_the_hut, Awe and Oshinlulla

I know that you guys have a lot of problems now in your life but as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or we grow weak, and at last some crisis shows us what we have become.

Hey Mike,

Don't listen to idiot comments. Write what you want. It's your journal. We know you and we're always interested in what you have to say. And your theme of always remembering that no matter how tough times may be for you, it helps to remember that there are those in even more difficult situations, is a good and valuable one.

Thanks for a nice entry.
