Imagine the same entities harvesting our data and selling it to god-knows-what entities for nefarious reason telling us not to download an app because an “adversarial” country will harvest all of our data to use it against us or for nefarious reason. Oh the irony.

The more I think about it, the clearer it becomes: luck is fickle. There’s no divine checklist, no eternal being doling out daily doses of fortune...

Top 3% worldwide is wild. I spend a lot of time trying to learn Spanish.

It’s hard to imagine how we managed to really say anything with only 140 character limits for so long. Most of us aren’t trained to be concise and sometimes you absolutely need to elaborate, add color when trying to make a point or get something off your chest. Grateful for 300 on this platform.

While I know I’ll never know everything about all the things that interest me or fascinate me, I aspire to get to the level of knowledge to talk about them without an accent.

Things I miss the most.

For a few weeks now, I’ve been on this writing campaign with one clear goal in mind—simply to find my voice. What I’ve found most helpful is having AI (ChatGpt and Claude) operating as an editor to test different styles of editing what I’ve already written. It has been super helpful and eye-opening.

It amazes me how much alike my dad and I are. We’re essentially carbon copies of each other visually at every age and we now share so many of the same habits—habits that I thought were so weird watching him as a child. Ironically, the things I thought were weird about him now define my personality.

Two years ago, my Spanish instructor recommended listening to Spanish music daily to continue learning the language. As a musician and songwriter, this should have been a no brainer, but for some reason I just never did. I’m finally doing it. Better late than never.

I should be playing the piano everyday. I think about it everyday, but I have a million other things to think about at the moment.

Ready for Alt season.

Crypto is crypto-ing. This cycle is absolutely nuts.

I want to invest in a new digital camera. I want to be motivated to get back to taking photos of everything. I’ve allowed my hatred for social media to get in the way. I shouldn’t allow that to happen.

I’ll be a pro by summer. #tennis

I just finished my 18th book since May. I think this is appropriate for my first post here as I am currently in a state of Euphoria.
