This is a list of stuff I want need to will do in my life before retiring. Of course, some of these things can also be done when retired, but not when you’re dead. Without further ado, here’s the list.

1. Run an evil corporation.
2. Buy a BMW M3 or M5. No need for any other car. Maybe a 7-series perhaps.
3. Have a Swiss bank account.
4. Have a nice house next to the lake.
5. Travel to Japan, Australia and all the European countries.
6. Have more than 3 children; the more the merrier!
7. Have a personal lodge at the Bell Centre during hockey games
8. Finish this list

I haven’t posted in a while because I have been thinking to myself this past week.

I flew to Toronto this past Wednesday to setup/network my client’s new office in the GTA. They are slowly starting to expand, which is great news for not only them but for my dad’s company. I actually enjoyed traveling alone among businessmen (and hot women) to do business. I felt like a million dollars while sitting in Economy class. Hopefully in the near future, I’ll be traveling all over the world to do this job in First Class. 😛

In other thoughts, I have decided I’m not going to let anyone else slow me down anymore. This is concerning relationships. I wonder why I even bother sometimes with them, as my enthusiasm dies down after a month of dating someone. The whole dating scene really discourages me. Maybe it’s the whole idea of going through the process of getting to know someone after X amount of time, only realizing that they’re really not for you. Now that I think about it, this is actually a good thing, since you figure out the problems before you dive in a serious/long-term relationship (or worse, getting married!).

I got a call from National Bank yesterday (Friday) concerning my debit card. Looks like someone attempted to withdraw 500$ from my account with a duplicated card. Supposedly they rigged an ATM machine to record down PIN numbers when a card has been accessed. I think one way to prevent this type of fraud to ever occur would be to implement RSA’s 2-Factor Authentication scheme involving a security token, where every client’s random generated number would be based on a unique algorithm with the server. Anyway, this is the second time in 2 months that my cards have been frauded. I need to be careful on where I do my transactions it seems. No more shady ATMs!

I finally got my full driver’s license, a whopping 15 points to spend on speeding tickets, missed stop-signs and miscellaneous violations. It sucks that the SAAQ has resorted to cheap, flimsy and low-quality cards as licenses. They’re no longer durable like the older generation cards.
Concerning the books I have been reading lately (Starting Strength and Think And Grow Rich) they have been progressing quite well. I’m almost done with the strength book while I’m only on Chapter 3 for Hill’s novel.  They’re great reads.

Finally, I’m still debating whether I should go to Resolution this New Years or not. While I have no problem going alone, the cost (100$) for a ticket doesn’t quite justify the amount of time I plan to attend. Perhaps I should just tag with my friends elsewhere and take it easy. The idea of partying until dawn isn’t really attractive anymore I’m afraid.

Finally snowed in like crazy when I woke up this morning. I’m changing my winter tires tomorrow at 9 AM before I get into an accident.

The subwoofer box is coming along real well. I just need let the glue dry tonight for the vents and then tomorrow, I will assemble the top and final piece. Next step is to figure out how these boxes will stay immobile in my trunk… Velcro might come in handy, but I think the subs are too heavy for that. Another idea is to bolt them to the back part of the trunk.. hmm. I can’t wait to hear this shit!

I got a new phone last week, the Sony Ericsson W810i. It’s a pretty nice phone, SE has made some very nice changes. The only thing I dislike about this phone is the branding done by Rogers. That Internet button is starting to piss me off, especially since it’s the hangup button. Whenever I end a call and I press the hangup button more than twice, it launches the Internet browser and loads all sorts of stupid shit. I will be unbranding and unlocking this bitch in a few months. I want to benefit from the warranty offered by Rogers till then.
