A slice of optimism, with extra whipped cream on top
Things usually end up getting better, even if they take a little longer. The problem is wanting everything to be resolved quickly and on your terms.

Navigating through misery (simple solution)
Too much uncertainty and fear in the world right now.Doomscrolling and ironic memes making light of the suffering can only do so much. Unless you’re part of the 1% (or maybe even the 10%), it’s bound to affect you in some way. Whether it’s investments, stock/crypto market, inflation, losing your job, increased rent/utilities, or even…

Pay it forward, keep it going, make it contagious
Being a cynic prepares you for most outcomes in real life.Just like not having any expectations protects you from most of the disappointments you might have. Something bad happens and “you either expected it, you weren’t surprised, or you were prepared to deal with it.”Something good happens, and “what a pleasant surprise, I did not…

Stop working your life away, and start making time to spend that money doing what you want
Money money money. I need that money to pay debts and keep traveling. If it were to stop traveling, I would already be at least halfway to zero debt balance. But for what? I’m going to buy a house? Nope. Am I going to have a child in the near future? Nope. Do I have…

To pizza or not to pizza; that is the question
A client left me a full box of pizza in the fridge. “Hey, we ordered two of them, and only ate one. Feel free to help yourself to the other one. We’re certainly not going to eat it.” Why?! Why would someone just offer me 8 slices of gourmet pizza? Is this a sign? Is…

Writing hack UNLOCKED
After over 300 posts, I found the secret to always having something coherent to say/write and not make you suffer while reading my ramblings. Here it goes… When I don’t have anything to say, when it’s hard for me to express myself (wanting to do it, of course. The nights I don’t want to do…

There’s a direct correlation between happiness and eating/drinking/doing whatever you want for a *period of time. This is a universal truth. Notice the * asterisk * to highlight a vital part of this declaration. “A period of time”. If you do it ALL the time, then it won’t bring the happiness you want because it…

Strange, nice and productive Saturday
Almost any sleep last night thanks to inconsiderate neighbors. Had a nice big breakfast and hit the road. 250 miles driven, got shit done, and almost 8 hours after my first meal, I had a huge mexican banquet for dinner. Can’t complain. Now a nightcap and some more than deserved shuteye. Tomorrow is race Sunday!
