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…

So they say… Is the root of all evil today?

Money shapes lives, makes decisions, puts you on the path you don’t want to take, forces you to settle, leads to suffering, creates new life experiences, brings new troubles by the tenfold. One problem, any problem, hits you from your blind spot: How much does it cost?Who will pay for it?Are they gonna pay for…

No more procrastination, I declare!

I found a solid activity that allows me to enjoy most of my idle time between work, clients, exercise, study and personal life time. THE only drawback is that it absorbed my series, videogame and social media time. Maybe this last 3-6 weeks, or at least until I finish all of my client’s bookings til…

Facing the new week headstrong

It’s finally here, Monday, the start of the week. And I can already assure you it’s gonna be a complete clusterfuck. I’m preparing for the worst, and then some.

Raw-dogging reality, each and every day

I want full happiness for the right, known reasons, not a sudden feeling that takes over without any explanation. Lots of people would prefer to ride it, and make it last. I’m not one of those.…

Officially starting again, but soon, like in a couple of weeks, maybe, IDK

I’m feeling it, it’s getting closer, it’s just a matter of time until… I finally get my shit together and sit down to start writing a new novel. Ideas? I have tons of them without even checking my past notes. Mindset? Well, there you got me. I have to start forcing myself to create more…

Yes, I work on the 4th of July

Get this. Imma let you in on a little secret. Only Americans (or people in the USA) have the day off tomorrow, 4th of July. The rest of the world has to work and goes on with their life like a normal Monday. The amount of “OMG! You work on the 4th?”, I get every…

The pursuit of a good-night sleep

One of my biggest obtainable dreams is being able to be in bed already by 11am, falling asleep in 5-10 minutes, and waking up 8 hours later fully-recharged. I can’t do it. It’s impossible. There is always something happening that ultimately affects me. Whereas is the AC not working to capacity, the ceiling fan making…

Full steam ahead, it’s officially summer

You know when you come back home from a trip, and have to get settled in again, familiarize with your space again in order to feel comfortable again? Well, today was that day. In my case, it was even tougher ’cause I’ve been visiting and staying at other clients’ houses basically all month. It feels…
