The time I participated in the Olympics
Due to a clerical error, my person was confused with an Olympic swimmer with the same name. In a series of comedy-type scenes, where they push you without being able to do anything, I was picked up in a van, gave a duffel bag already packed, was transported to the airport, put in a special…

Missed it, again… 5 minutes, just 5 f-ing minutes
So, I missed my 12am “write one thing every day for a whole year deadline” by 5 minutes. I really cannot accept this one as a failure on my part. Had to answer 2 very important important calls that ate of all my ‘evening writing time’. Plus I spent the whole day cleaning my old…

Mercy, I yield.
*Note: Yes, I missed my posting every 24-hour streak. But technically no, because I changed time zones, and the post scheduler wasn’t set up right. On top of that, the airport and car rental was a nightmare. Will make another post out of it soon. This one was written on the plane. So, in spirit,…

Friday market bloodbath (sighs, yes, again)
The stock market and crypto assets crashed today, yet again. It’s been a long January of bleeding money. Nothing better than going to sleep with the market already down a good 10% – 15%, then waking up, making some coffee and seeing the market nose-dive another 10%-15% more with YOUR LIFE SAVINGS BEING COMPLETELY DEPLETED…

The ‘double-date’ dilemma
Can someone PLEASE tell what’s the deal with the ‘double date’? What drives a human being to think: “Hey, we’re having such a good time together. You know what would make it even better? Throwing one of our friends and their partner into the mix. Doesn’t it sound like a great idea, babe?!” And of…
