Turns out I might have some more income from something that so far as been a pain in the ass with no benefit to me, so all is well that ends well.

Just a quick update, I did get that income. It was maybe a little too much hassle for how it ended up, but far, far better than spending all the time I did and dealing with various frustrations and end up with ZERO income. Won't know 100% until the end of the week, but it's pretty much locked in at this point. Feels good, mane.

Happy Friday folks.

I'm really torn. I swear I gave you a point already, but it says no. You say the word and your at 70. But not until tomorrow because I'm spreading my limit of reputation love in a minute.

In the meanwhile happy Friday! Here's the aloha Friday song by alcoholic womanizer kimo kahuano to start you all off happy!






Sing along, it feels good.

Edit: the autocorrect changed Aloha! to Allah! I guess I've been texting too much to my jihadi friends.

Aloha!

Weekend is coming around. Work doesn't stop on account of the weekend, I'll be designing my website through Saturday and Sunday. My deadline is August 10th.

Time to grind.

I love this shit.

Went to the Central Market here in Valencia Spain yesterday with my GF. Its about a football field size open air market with everything you can imagine: Fruits, vegetables, cheeses, meats, fresh (live!) seafood, my new favorite place






We stocked up on a bunch of fresh produce, fish, scallops, etc. I bought a half dozen bottles of local wines...none of which I know anything about but based on the description of the wine merchant. Last night we cooked an incredible meal, caprese salad, salmon pasta in a fig reduction and sat in the warm night air and washed it down with two amazing bottles of wine. Sublime

Ethereum (cryptocurrency similar to Bitcoin) is making a comeback and it's looking like I'll have an opportunity to either get out and reinvest in something else or keep holding long-term. I was bummed for a while when I felt I had made a few poor trades and should finally be back at a break-even point soon. I was worried about getting burned and it seems my patience is going to pay off. Great lesson learned and still my net worth is as high as it's ever been.

Last month I moved across the country to Texas and my work ethic is stronger than ever, but I'm having to relearn how to best balance through self-discipline and by starting some new routines. My outlook is positive and everything seems to be aligning... financials, life vision, body/mind/spirit.

Best of all - I've got the Mega Meetup Denver Cabin trip next week to meet a dozen or so forum bros and I'm sure it's going to be a hell of a time!

Went drinking with an acquaintance who is rapidly becoming a bro. Got a number via reggaeton and my history undergrad.

Will hit her up late tomorrow or day after..

Bro said "Thanks for being a bro rather than a contextual bro."

Told him anytime he needed a bro to hit me up.

Keep building your tribe, wherever you are.

Finished mowing and edging lawn. There's nothing that smells quite like new-cut grass, especially new-cut grass that's been cleared of the dogshit that's been on it for a few days.

I had to hand in some forms at the Australian version of the DMV. I didn't know exactly which form, so I was expecting it to be the usual ordeal of waiting in line for an hour, then getting told I used the wrong form.

Instead, I walked in and was served as soon as I got my ticket. Also, the middle aged woman who served me was pleasant and helpful. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes.

Cousins wedding last night. Saw a lot of family I haven't seen in a long time and enjoyed myself. Fucked a chick this morning. She was cumming said "OMG is that coming from me." Well it's not from me.

Spidering?

^ Ah...just something about weddings that gets the girls all wet and reckless.

Just hopped back on the wagon recently and suddenly finding the urge to start reading a lot again.

Instead of harping on my chick for burying her nose in her smartphone too often lately, I realized I could paint it a positive and use that extra mental space to get my reading done without worrying if I was alienating her. Let her tend to her fickle female pleasures while I feed my brain - perfect solution to an issue that can often become an endless source of aggravation.

About a week of that and...surprise, surprise...she decided to buy a book yesterday, and instead of playing on Facebook she is sitting there reading along with me now.

Lead by example.

Not too shabby for a Thai broad, I say.

Scooted to the beach, swam and just like that all the worries and issues on the mind washed away with the salty water.
Feeling cleansed and ready for a new week!

I spent the last 4 months learning for the med school entrance exam and today I got the news that I am accepted!

My first positive post, I sold the old motorhome and bought a much newer RV travel trailer so we can unhook and drive elsewhere while traveling! This one has an 80 gallon fresh water tank for days of bookdocking in the middle of nowhere (Bureau of land management free camping).

I've learned how to become a better salesman. At my job, I was tasked to sell these bracelets to customers. I complained about it at first and didn't try to sell them. I had trouble even offering them as an option since I assumed no one would want to buy these cheap looking things. I barely sold 4 or 5 of them. Then we were offered free candy if we sold 20 of them, so I thought why not.

It was a struggle in the beginning. I stuttered out and mixed up lines, so I ended up missing out on possible sales in the beginning. Then I got a handle on it. I got my routine down and experimented by saying different things to keep myself from sounding too robotic. I smiled more and became friendlier, and learned to chat up customers the whole time. It made seguing into the sale more natural and made it harder for them to say no. I went from selling 0 bracelets in one shift, to selling 10 then 20 then 30, and eventually made it to 40. I even got comments telling me I was a good salesman.

All in all, I learned the value of routines: you find a lot of yeses, noes, and maybes. It's important to ask everyone because you're likely to find people you would not expect to say yes.

Could you post up photos of the bottles and prices, just out of professional curiosity? Want to see what's on offer at an open air Spanish market but glad you enjoyed it.

Enjoying Zel and Kona trolling debeguiled by +repping him.

Just paid off another credit card.

Had a pretty sweet weekend of shooting, hiking, and going to a Mexican BBQ/birthday party.

Have a fun weekend planned with a bunch of friends coming up.
