1. Never fall in love ( Read more... )

I have a fancy car, fancy shoes, fancy guitars, and a cool consulting company that pays me well
I would give them to you for the chance to go back and un-break a girl's heart
Any takers?

I've been one twice in a week for two very different reasons. There may be no hope for either cause, but together they create sparklingly clear perspective. Love can be a fragile thing, and life even more so. The first reason I shall leave well enough alone, but the latter was caused by learning the sad fate of my best friend's father, who, ( Read more... )

This will be short for now, as I woke up at 4:00am this morning and am presently nigh exhausted from traipsing about in New York City with friends old and new. At JAX today I stopped to purchase a book for my flight, and wound up with two-- one by an accomplished chef about his restaurant empire, and the other a novel translated into English from ( Read more... )

I suppose I shouldn't be bothered. However, I just read through my last few posts. In addition to changing tense at random, I typically and remarkably use the words 'typically' and 'remarkably' a lot.

Productive day, but definitely not going to sleep stoked. My knee is arguing that basketball was counter-productive, even though I didn't so much as bump the fucker into anything, so I don't know what its problem is. 2013 has brought with it a new age, as it typically does for me, and I'm pretty sure this isn't how I want to feel at 32. It's ( Read more... )

In BA we met with two guys I've been selling to for years, Martin and Ignacio (Nacho). During the prior few months these guys had all but purchased nothing, as the Argentine government had restricted public access to $US, but this odd phenomenon was part of the reason I had become so intrigued by the market-- that which is bad for many is ( Read more... )

When Lidiany returned with the keys, we went to the bakery across the street. I had a few cookies and donut-like products that were both rather tasty, and some sort of Amazon fruit juice. Then we went to Willian's warehouses. We met his sister and business partner, Michelle, who was very cool and spoke some English, as well as some other folks ( Read more... )
