Britnney Spears – Sectioned

Brittany’s parents are trying to get her 5150’d, the American equivalent of sectioned.

It may be time for Britnay to do a forest gump and make for the hills.

I once hitch hiked and slept rough for 6 weeks.
As long as the weather stays good, it clears the mind.

Roughing it
I slept rough with a towel, a blanket stolen for a youth hostel and an old fertilizer bag.
It didn’t start getting cold until I got to France.

A carrot a day
I used to eat carrots, and biscuits, bread and some tinned stuff, chase wild animals.
I hitch hiked through the whole of Bragancia, which is like the most beautiful area of Portugal.

When you get to England, you can expect the same feelings of worthlessness. But you can always look back. Gain clarity.

Travelling with no money brings back some of the best memories.

Epic.

My trip sleeping rough in Europe.

Legendary Bankers

It seems that over the weekend three bankers have made it into the legendary league occupied by the likes of Soros, Buffet and John Arnold.

Dan Spark, Michael “Swenny” Swenson and Josh Birnbaum collectively netted $4bn profits for Goldman Sachs in a speculative gamble.

Sub-primes
The 4 bet that sub-primes would turn sour by the end of the year, netting the bank $4bn in profits, more than off-setting it’s own exposure to the sub-primes market.

Work hard, do your research
Goldman stands to be one of the biggest winners from the situation to date with over $19bn in it’s bonus kitty.

Just goes to show, you get nothing for betting on a sure thing.
