Today

I guess I am getting back into work.

Well, I am getting things done at work. Got my report done. Trained the new consultant on the software. Kept away from everyone.

The other major project at our company let everyone on that project take the week off. They were all burned out.

I want to take another week off too. I really want to win the lottery. Paradise.

I burned 800 calories on my bike yesterday morning and last night. I just ate sausage and brisket that was left over from a meeting lunch.

God, I am going to win!

I didn't workout last night. Tuesday's are going to be 2 hours of stairmaster. I love the Fringe and Frontline. Conspiracies everywhere!!

Got in at 9:00....again. Need to stop doing this. Get my ass out of bed!

Wow! The lottery is at $30 million take home pay!...After taxes!

God, I am going to win the Megamillions lottery grand prize this friday (04/10/2009)!

Contractor gets let go

My manager told one of the contractors that his last day is Friday. I feel bad for the guy. He is a diabetic and no one can understand a word he says. He is a techie but he doesn't seem very good at it. Maybe he is. I don't know. No one understands a word he says. He talks and everyone just nods their heads and he doesn't realize that no one understood a word he just said.

He also wears a cologne that smells like pee. We all sit in the status meeting staring at each other going "Is that me? Is that you? Where is that coming from?"

Life is rough for some people. It cannot be easy to be an immigrant. To want to start a new life for yourself and not be able to speak properly.

If you don't have millions you have to kill yourself. I am going to win the lottery.

Getting in early and winning the lottery

I got in early today. 4:30 am. Yay me. When the bedroom is hot, I cannot sleep. I also wanted to get back on a schedule where I was coming in early and leaving early to see Darryl and Isadora. As of now, I was coming in at 8:30 and getting home at 7:30.

Darryl stayed up and watched the Fringe with us last night. It was the one where people turned into a porcupine monster. He was intrigued. He asked a lot of questions. I tried to explain viruses and DNA to him. He stared at me.

Sure enough, Isadora had to sleep with him all night.

Well the database is down. I can't do a damn thing. That is the problem with coming in this early. Everything bad in IT happens at night. So now I am sitting here waiting for people to arrive so that I can get someone to get the database back up.

No one won the lottery last night. It is now up to $40 million. I will go home with $20 million. Wow. I am going to win $20 million on Friday. I am going to drive like crazy to the lottery headquarters and cash that check as soon as possible. Then I am going to:

1) Join the country club
2) Get a kickass personal trainer
3) Read books
4) Plan a trip with Isadora to Italy this summer
5) Sell our house and buy a house in nicer development
6) Move the cats to the new house
7) Find a house sitter for the summer
8) Work on Darryl's T-Ball
9) Get Isadora pregnant

Coffee and me

Coffee and me do not mix. I LOVE coffee. I love the feeling of AGGRESSION SURGING THROUGH MY BONES AND MY BLOOD. PURE AGGRESSION.

However, I hate the paranoia it gives me. I hate the over sensitiveness that it gives me. Be calm. Be one.

On this day, I state that I will not have coffee until after the project status meeting.

Today, Snake was getting on my case. She wanted to be invited to every meeting I had with the users. It was BS. I was annoyed. Then she was dragging her feet on passing the support of the vendor application to me. She wants to hold onto it for as long as she can. I sent her an email telling her to keep the damn application. This is ridiculous. We have been doing the knowledge/responsibility for 2 years.

Idiot.

Be kind! I am trying but this is stupid! Speak kindly to others! It is hard when someone is fucking you up the ass and telling you nothing is wrong at the same time. Speak kindly of others....my goodness.

This isn't a good day for me.

I woke up with a feeling that I am going to win the lottery this Tuesday. Numbers came to me in my head. I wrote them down and got lottery tickets based on the numbers.

$15 million take home after taxes.

I am getting my ass on a plane to Italy. Actually I think I will join the country club and take up golf. Get an instructor. I will definitely get a personal trainer. Get myself into shape. And Isadora. She is thin. She just needs to muscle up. I am fat. I need to slim down. I will practice T-Ball with Darryl.

Helping others on the project

Today I:

1. Got in at 6:00 (Yay me!)
2. Got Snake's project planning done
3. Attended Fugly's scenario meeting to explain how the application worked
4. Went with Fugly to lunch
5. Attended Steve's confirmations meeting

End result....I got nothing I was supposed to done.

However, I was kind. I enjoyed myself. I worked hard helping others and explaining the project to them. I did not speak too badly about people. Abdula just drives me nuts and people were asking what to do with him. They are freaking out about his uselessness. I smiled and spoke to my manager. I am a champion!

Now we are having status meetings everyday. Let the bullshit fly. I need to get something done tomorrow morning.

No one won the mega millions...I am going to win the Mega Millions lottery

$13 million take home

The next lottery is worth $26 million. That means after taxes, you take home $13 million.

What I would do with $13 million.

Buy a home for $700,000. You can get a McMansion for $700,000.


Get season tickets to football team



Get membership to local country club



Get season tickets to local musical theatre

Think about starting a master's in creative writing

Hire a personal trainer


Get myself in shape
Read books
Travel to Italy

Some jerk in Ohio won the lottery!

Because of all the ticket purchases...the person gets a check for $207 million.

"Yeah but the government takes half in taxes!"

....uh yeah...so they are left with $103.5 million.

If you make a 5% return on $103.5 million each year. ..that is $5,175,000 a year.

I can taper my budget to live on only $5 million a year...I will cut out my cable...and I will only buy oranges when they are on sale.

A 6000 sqft home in Beverly Hills costs $12 million.

I don't even want to live in Beverly Hills. I would be perfectly happy moving to Boise or Salt Lake City. I like my current city. I am right down the road from an exclusive country club...that I currently cannot afford.

I wonder if it would be sustainable just to pack up and leave with Isador and Darryl. Just walk off. We spend the rest of our lives traveling.

We first start off visiting staying in different countries 3 months at a time.

- Italy (Jan 2009 - Mar 2009)
- Turkey (Apr 2009 - Jun 2009)
- Australia (Jul 2009 - Sep 2009)
- Thailand (Oct 2009 - Dec 2009)
- France (Jan 2010 - Mar 2010 )
- India (Apr 2010 - Jun 2010 )
- Argentina (Jul 2010 - Sep 2010 )
- Morocco (Oct 2010 - Dec 2010 )
- Spain (Jan 2011- Mar 2011)
- Malaysia (Apr 2011- Jun 2011)
- New Zealand (Jul 2011- Sep 2011)
- Russia (Oct 2011- Dec 2011)
- Costa Rica (Jan 2012- Mar 2012)
- Norway (Apr 2012- Jun 2012)
- Namibia (Jul 2012- Sep 2012)

Wow...4 years...this is great! There are few places I would want to go after this.

We would spend Christmas in the North East with our families. Invite them to stay with us at certain locations.

With $141 million

I get up each morning and take Darryl to school. Isadora and I go to the country club for golf, tennis and weight training. We eat lunch. We come home, have sex and read. We work on our projects. We go pick Darryl up at school. We help him with athletics. We help him with homework. We cook supper. We play boardgames.

During the summer, we go to a different country and rent a house. Italy, France, Spain, Norway, India, Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Belize, Finland, Russia and Thailand.

During Christmas we visit Montreal and Vermont.

We buy a house for our parents and siblings.

We buy Jeff a tutor.

I do a Masters in Creative Writing.

I take cooking classes

I take masseuse classes

We get a membership at the Tennis club. We spend the weekend their.

We focus Darryl on tennis, golf, acting and singing.

Tonights lottery: $141.3 Million

I will snuggle with Isadora and Darryl all morning long.

We will go to Italy and everywhere else.

We will hire a cat sitter to stay at the house.

I will get the winning lotto ticket for this round!

Winning the Lottery

I need to meditate and focus on winning the lottery. No one won this weekend. I believe I can. I need to.

I want to stay at home with my wife and son and watch him grow up.

That is what I want to do.

That is what I am going to do with the money from the winning ticket.

I believe I can win. I am special. I am different. Things happen to me. Sometimes from hard work and sometimes because they find me.

I believe the winning lottery ticket will be handed to me this week.

Est. Cash Value: $116.9 Million

I will enjoy it all and let the generations after me enjoy it too.
