Restaurant Week–> Done and Done

This week I worked my ass off, and decided to spent 100% of that money (after paying expenses, of courses) on fine dining. Fuck it. Visited three of the nicest restaurants in the city. Ate rare beef, raw seafood, farm-to-table veggies, all kinds of deconstructed desserts, and drank bottles of wine. Some dishes were unique,…

A thought about risky trading and death

One of my stock trading friends is barely breaking-even, and he basically avoids risks. 95% of his stocks are Fortune 500, blue chips companies and ETFs. Meanwhile, I’m very high-risk, trading all kinds of international companies, experimental pharmaceuticals, and fall-from grace companies looking for a rebound, and I’m ranging between 10%-20% in the red.

Friendly reminder of the state of the world

I really don’t see things ‘getting better’. We’ll just adapt, compartmentalize, cope and keep surviving. School shootings will keep happening in the US (it’s already the norm, clear backpacks and armed guards don’t stop them).Mental health will keep deteriorating (How can it get better? More drugs?

Keeping it short and simple; Also, get some dessert

I rather have any carrot cake, than no carrot cake. Definitely, absolute truth. Even if it’s a subpar one, gimme it. I’ll take it, give me that super sweet cream cheese frosting on top of mediocre carrot filling. I don’t care. Will gulf it down in three bites. You can’t have a great one every…
