The time I went to the state fair

State fair is nice, lots to do, and lots to see. If you go early enough, it’s not that full, no long lines, and you avoid most of the hoodlums. State fair is nice, but not with 85F-90F weather. Fuck me. A 10-minute line turns into an endurance test under the scorching sun. Then you…

The White Light

You wake up the next day after dreaming about a white shining light. Could’ve been death, an explosion, a spotlight, anything resembling a blinding brightness. Your morning is just like every other morning, with the coffee, the music, the answering emails, commuting to work, eating a protein bar on the go… Nothing changes. The moment…

Not-a-worry-in-the-world Thursday

Yup, not a single idea about what to write in here today. It’s just been one of those very chill days. I probably listened to over 6 hours of reggae roots and dub. That’s how relaxed I felt throughout the day. Even though I got a lot done, like groceries, errands, dog walks, and exercise,…

What comes after pizza and wine? Cake, the answer is cake.

Why do I want to keep on eating after finishing my meal!? This is happening with every lunch and/or dinner, every time I stray off the healthy path. On a normal day, I wake up, protein bar, coffee, some cereal for breakfast. Then a huge lunch, heavy on protein and maybe carbs. And for dinner…

An ordinary, but positive update

Been staring at this screen for a good 40 minutes, flipping between different tabs and those same tabs again, but from their respective apps on my phone. So, yeah, procrastination at its finest. Didn’t want to write yet another blog post complaining about life, nor another talking about the world in a pessimistic view or…

Carrots (partie trois)

Is there such thing as going through a carrot phase? This is maybe my second or third time riding this carousel. First time was salads and carrot chips with all kinds of vinaigrettes, dressings and dipping sauces. Second time I went straight up Bugs Bunny in this shit, and was eating them raw from bottom…

It’s not discipline, but rather taking orders and being obedient

I am in control.I am in control. Everything is going well, most things will be resolved. First comes rest, then work, then some fun, then relax, and rest,Negotiate a balance. Rinse and repeat the cycle. If it’s that simple, if I have it all figured out,then why am I straying from the path. I want…

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. Not…
