Anyway.
I think I'm done with the Vladimir Putin series.
But. Going back to Robinhood Snacks: I ask myself if I feel like any less of a person for being part of the proletariat? The answer is no, I don't.
Sometimes I think, like, what would I do if I were big-time? Probably just stay home and write things, and not give a shit about making money doing it, but I can more or less do that now.
Sometimes there is really no sense in working toward what you already have.
I remember reading, in Herodotus, I think, something about Solon and Croesus, and a conversation they had about who is the happiest person on earth, and Solon said that it wasn't Croesus, It was Tellus, some nobody in the City of Athens.
And I think. I should seek to be more like Tellus then Croesus if I want to be truly happy, but I'm sure Croesus had it good. You know. That publicly known inventor of Gold Coins!
I think. I don't feel the least bit bad about the my stock market losses, even if I do have to be more prudent with my budget and all that for the time being.
When I think about this man's super yacht or that man's space ship, wishing me more like that guy dating that superstar, I think: that's just envy fucking with me. Fuck envy! You know.
Maybe envy is the kind of thing that drives people, you know, and maybe it can be a good thing sometimes, but, I've learned that, sometimes you just have to be aware of your limits, sometimes you just have to be aware of the things that make you unhappy or the things that drive you crazy or your obsessions.

I think I just saw someone totally awesome!
Um. Well. I think he bought the micro blogging platform because. He can't just spend one or two satoshis on an asset, he has to spend entire bitcoins. He can't really do anything small time, now can he? He's gotta add a whole lot of zeros to whatever he does. He has to have the biggest micro blog ever. That's just his personality.

I have an idea for the talent show.

My idea is a puppet show that pays homage to one of the MGM films. My favorite is the 10 Commandments, but I think, so and so might like space odyessy.
But I also want to look at the catalog to see what my options are.

So what else am I going to say. Um. About Robinhood. I do like using the app. I enjoy the platform. and I believe in the idea of making investing more accessible to more people, however. and just to mad libs another movie from generations ago. A lot of people who stumble upon investing are like, you know, a kid who came across his father's handgun. I managed to successfully shoot myself in the foot, but I'm fully aware things could have been a lot worse. and maybe things will continue to get worse. I don't really fucking know.

I'm trying to fall asleep, but I cant. I just can't stop chatting with myself. That last #putinpullout! was such an anti-climax it was a fucking total non-orgasms. A micro-orgasm. It sucked to the extent that. I'm not sure I can even show my face around Twitter for quite some time.
It. was. horrible. gosh.
