Long time No read

Hi everyone. I know it has been awhile but it has rather crazy in my life. Tonight I Am alone blogging, watching trashy reality tv and thinking of opening up a bottle of Stoli. This has been actually been a really rough year and it has barely begun.

First off, I am not victim of Madoff, in fact no one within my social circle has been touched. As far as I know.

However everyone is hurting and hurting bad.

My father is freaking out because he had to lay half of his staff and is now faced with doing twice as much work. Any of you read that article about billable hours?

Half the time he is on the phone negotiating with clients over fees.

Mom is actually is also working overtime consoling her friends and even people she does not know. There was one friend of a friend who lives in 740 Park. Yes. That 740 Park. The one where you need a $100 million to even walk into the door. She is freaking out because her husband has taken a beating in not just real estate market but also stock and everything else. The lady has no idea what she is going to do.

Am I still the freewheeling trustfund princess of days past? Well yes and no. I still shop but I am seeing a lot of bargains out there. I mean really good s**t is out there. I am not poor folks but I have noticed my portfolio has done a Paris Hilton knee drop.

I feel rather directionless right now. Don't know what to do with my life.
I am not complaining. I have a great life. I just need to do something inspiring.
