CES

I am sitting on my couch and watching some TV with my wife. I am losing in touch with most of my friends. My focus is on work and then my family which leaves me with no time to do anything else. I wish I didn’t have to work for a living. I could enjoy the finer things of life. I wish I had the time to hang out with people whenever and where ever I wanted.
I was at Vegas this past week. I was at the CES show. This damn show is huge. Too many things happening in one place. I don’t understand how people can possibly go to this show and expect something consequential to come out of it. I walked the show for a whole day and it was painful for my feet. Other than that it was pretty good. I got a look at the biggest plasma TV on the planet from Panasonic. I don’t understand the need for a 150 inches plasma TV. I don’t even have a damn wall that big. I guess we want bigger and better things and there is always a market for such product. I got back on Thursday and didn’t go to work as I was jetlagged and pretty exhausted. The weather at Vegas wasn’t too cold but it was actually colder than Jersey.
Life is going on and everything seems to be going fine for the time being. My wife is doing exceedingly well at work and I am proud and happy for her and of course us. The nets are playing ok basketball even though they lost yesterday to the Celtics. I was at the game yesterday and it was a play off like atmosphere. They have Stella there which is good for me. My favorite team sells my favorite beer in its games.
Work is going on. It has its ups and down but tends to even out by the end of the day. The market is volatile on a daily basis and is pretty stressful. To stay on top of it requires focus and a lot of mental strength. It has been good so far and hopefully I can stay on top of things. Don’t know what else to write about. I am cocooned from anything else that is happening on this planet. It is very sad given the fact that I used to make it a point to be aware of everything good and bad happening around. The transformation has completed. I have transformed from this cognizant world citizen to a dumb fucking couch potato with no empathy and sympathy. I have been observing and documenting this change in me over the years. It all started when I came here 8 years ago and now I am more or less done. Dumb as a fucking dodo.
